This paper presents the possibility of the electric energy harvesting using piezoelectric actuator which is operated by geared motor. The geared motor consisting of oval shape cam and speed controller was operated in the range of 40${\sim}$172rpm. The PZT actuator of $36L{\times}13W{\times}0.6H$ was used for energy harvesting and the results of the theoretical model were verified by comparing it with the measured response of a experimental setup. Experimental study for obtaining the optimal operating conditions, such as displacement variation of the PZT actuator and motor speed variation, was achieved. A power of 0.02mW at the geared motor speed of 172rpm and the PZT actuator maximum displacement of $500{\mu}m$ was measured. In this study, it was confirmed that the wind power can be used for MEMS based sensor operating and windmill health monitoring one.

Magnetic geared motors are driven using the same operating principle as conventional synchronous motors in which a magnetic gear is embedded. The magnetic geared motor is structurally similar to a magnetic gear. However, by applying currents to the stator coil, the high-speed rotor is rotated by a magnetic field and the low-speed rotor is rotated according to the gear ratio. In this paper, the operational principle of a magnetic geared motor and the magnetic flux density in its inner and outer air gaps are described. Then the magnetic flux density in the two air gaps is used to express a method for calculating the electrical and mechanical output. Results obtained with the analytical calculation method are compared with those of the finite element analysis. Finally, a prototype is used to verify the results of the analytical calculation and FEA.

Gearing system emits inconsistent noise from gear teeth impact in case of gear defects. But, it is not easy for inspection operator in production line to distinguish objectively the defective product. Therefore, customer complains continuously bad noise of the geared motor. Because impulsive signal at low frequency has a tendency not to appear in frequency domain, it is difficult to separate the gear inconsistent noise of defective gear from overall geared motor's noise using general signal processing method such as FFT. In this paper, the method to estimate more objectively the inconsistent noise of gearing system and to measure the quantities is suggested. Suggested method uses Cepstrum, Autocorrelation, Comb Lifter and Inverse Cepstrum by turns to make objective quantities about noise level.

A gearing system emits inconsistent noises from the impact of gear teeth when defects are present, but it is not easy for a noise inspector on a production line to distinguish defective products objectively. Since customers constantly complain about various noises from geared motors, it is desirable to devise an analytical technique to classify motors. However, it is difficult to separate inconsistent noises due to defective gears from the overall noise produced by a geared motor using a general signal processing method such as a FFT because low frequency impulse signals have a tendency not to appear in the frequency domain. In this paper, we propose a method that can be used to obtain more objective estimates and measurements of inconsistent noises from a gearing system. The proposed method makes use of the cepstrum domain with an applied autocorrelation and comb lifter, followed by a domain inversion.

This article describes the useful way to measure the torque and RPM of the geared motor. For this we have made the planetary geared reduction motor including 2 Hall sensors in it and the monitoring system. The monitoring system displays the sensing values (torque, rpm) and the calculated value (power) and it also has the network capability using the Bluetooth protocol. We will show that our solution is much more inexpensive and simple method to measure torque and rpm than before.

The built-in motor with an integrated magnetic gear can realize high torque without a separate reduction device. In this paper, the main design parameters of the magnetic gear constituting the magnetic geared motor are derived and the sensitivity analysis results according to these design parameters are discussed. In particular, processing and assembly issues of modulators sandwiched between rotating bodies are discussed, and loss and magnetic force characteristics of various types of modulators are introduced. Since the modulator, which plays a key role in converting the torque of the magnetic gear, is desirable to have a separate form, it is inevitable to add a non-magnetic support to add torsional stiffness according to high-speed rotation, so the effect of this is also analyzed.

This paper deals with a control technique of eliminating the transient vibration of a twin-drive geared mechanical system. This technique is based on a model-based control in order to establish the damping effect at the driven machine part. The control model is composed of reduced-order electrical and mechanical parts. This control model estimates a load speed converted to the motor shaft. The difference between the estimated load speed and the motor speed is calculated dynamically and it is added to the velocity command to suppress the transient vibration generated at the load. This control technique is applied to a twin-drive geared system with backlash. In the previous work, the performance of this control method is examined by simulations. In this paper, the effectiveness of this control technique is verified by experiments. The settling time of the residual vibration generated at the loading inertia can be shortened down to about 1/2 of the uncompensated vibration level.

To control screen door installed in the subway platform, geared BLDC motors have been being used. However, because of the geared mechanisms, the control profile of the screen door in slow speed is very poor. Moreover, geared mechanism tends to leads system malfunctions and low efficiency. To overcome those problems, in this paper, the techniques of developing hi-efficiency direct drive gearless PMAC motor controller and application example to control the screen door of subway platforms are proposed. The developed system has advantages that; the energy efficiency has been increased by adopting gearless PMAC motor; the system break-down factor has been decreased due to the actuator mechanism has been simplified. In this paper, the screen door control system structure, PMAC motor drive circuit design, implementations of vector control algorithm, and test results are shown.

This study developed a manipulator for robotic harvester to harvest cucumber. The manipulator was designed and built fur transferring an end-effecter from a fixed point to a specified cucumber. Its development involved the integration of a manipulating system with a PC compatible, DC motors, geared boxes, timing belts, and a motor controller board. Software, written in Quick basic. combined the functions of motor control with various circumstances. In order to move smoothly and rapidly the manipulator, it's shoulder link and elbow link were minimized by using rotational inertial moment without a motor and a geared box. After 30 replications of exercising the manipulator, it was concluded that the precision values of the X, Y and Z axes were less than 0.5mm, 7.25mm and 0.35mm, respectively. The precision data indicated the manipulator was not missing any steps fur the harvester to reach a target cucumber.
