The purpose of this paper is to design cutter profiles for manufacturing rotors of screw compressor, which are based on universal milling machine. The surface profile of screw rotor which is helicoidal is derived as brief equation through the coordinates transformation of the section perpendicular to rotor axis. And the equations of contact lines between a cutter and the surface profile of screw rotor are derived. The computer program which can analyze the equation of contact lines numerically and design the cutter profiles of screw rotor is made, and verified through measuring screw rotors which are menufactured as the designed cutter by the computer program.

This paper introduces a new rotor position estimation algorithm for the SRM based on the magnetizing curves of aligned and unaligned rotor positions. The flux linkage is calculated by the measured data from phase voltage and phase current and the calculated data are used as the input of magnetizing profiles for rotor position detection. Each of the magnetizing profiles consisted of the methods using the neural network and fuzzy algorithm And also the optima phase is selected by phase selector. To demonstrate the promise of this approach the proposed rotor position estimation algorithms are verified by the experiment results or variable spee range.

Gerotor pumps and motors are widely used in lubrication and hydraulic actuator systems. Compared with internal gear pumps and motors, they have many advantages. However, the gerotor profiles have not been suff'lciently analyzed theoretically. Therefore, it is very difficult for designer to decide the specifications of the gemtor profiles, and calculation of flow rate and minimum distance of clearance in the contact point of inner and outer rotor is not yet confirmed. In this paper, when we design inner and outer rotor concurently, we have analyzed the gerotor profiles and displayed the calculated results such as flow rate, minimum distance between inner and outer rotor and gerotor profiles.

The dynamic behavior of an automatic ball balancer (ABB) is studied considering the effects of gravity and angular velocity profiles. In this study, a physical model for an ABB installed on the Jeffcott rotor is adopted in order to investigate the effects of gravity and angular acceleration. The equations of motion for the rotor with ABB are derived by using Lagrange's equation. Based on derived equations, dynamic responses for the rotor are computed by using the generalized-o method. From the computed responses, the effects of gravity and angular velocity profiles on the dynamic behavior are investigated. It is found that the balancing of the rotor with ABB can be achieved regardless of gravity. It Is also shown that a smooth velocity profile yields relatively smaller vibration amplitude than a non-smooth velocity profile.

A method for generating 3D solid models and drawings for a rotor in the steam turbine is proposed. One of the most important design steps is generating the drawing for manufacturing it. This step is a very routine and time-consuming job because each drawing is composed of several kinds of views and many dimensions. To achieve automation for this activity, rotor profiles are composed of 2D entity groups with attributes. Based on this, the improved design process is developed as follows. First, the rotor profiles can be selected by searching for 2D entity groups using the related attributes. Second, the profiles are connected sequentially so that an entire rotor profile is determined. The completed profile is used to generate 2D drawings automatically, especially views, dimensions, and 3D models. The proposed method is implemented using a commercial CAD/CAM system, Unigraphics, and API functions written in C-language and applied to the rotor of steam turbines. Some illustrative examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Counter-rotating axial flow fan(CRF) consists of two counter-rotating rotors without stator blades. CRF shows the complex flow characteristics of the three-dimensional, viscous, and unsteady flow fields. For the understanding of the entire core flow in CRF, it is necessary to investigate the three-dimensional unsteady flow field between the rotors. This information is also essential to improve the aerodynamic characteristics and to reduce the aerodynamic noise level and vibration characteristics of the CRF. In this paper, experimental study on the three-dimensional unsteady flow of the CRF is performed at the design point(operating point). Flow fields in the CRF are measured at the cross-sectional planes of the upstream and downstream of each rotor using the $45^{\circ}$ inclined hot-wire. The phase-locked averaged hot-wire technique utilizes the inclined hot-wire, which rotates successively with 120 degree increments about its own axis. Three-dimensional unsteady flow characteristics such as tip vortex, secondary flow and tip leakage flow in the CRF are shown in the form of the axial, radial and tangential velocity vector plot and velocity contour. The phase-locked averaged velocity profiles of the CRF are analyzed by means of the stationary unsteady measurement technique. At the mean radius of the front rotor inlet and the outlet, the phase-locked averaged velocity profiles show more the periodical flow characteristics than those of the hub region. At the tip region of the CRF, the axial velocity is decreased due to the boundary layer effect of the fan casing and the tip vortex flow. The radial and the tangential velocity profiles show the most unstable and unsteady flow characteristics compared with other position of rotors. But, the phase-locked averaged velocity profiles of the downstream of the rear rotor show the aperiodic flow pattern due to the mixture of the front rotor wake period and the rear rotor rotational period.

Because technology of the sintering process is highly advanced, the gerotor used in the internal gear pumps of vehicles has advantages for manufacturing complex profiles and obtaining durability and minimization. However, it has been necessary to continuously improve the flow rate and noise of internal gear pumps for better fuel efficiency. The existing rotor was designed using a translation algorithm. This caused a discontinuity of the rotor profile, which had adverse effects on the performance. In this study, to improve the discontinuity of the profile, a new design program using a rotation and translation algorithm was developed, and two types of combined multiple profiles (three-ellipses and ellipse 1-involute-ellipse 2) were generated. Then, the performances (flow, flow rate, specific sliding, and pressure angle) of these profiles were calculated. On the basis of the calculation results for the performances, optimal designs of the two types were carried out and verified by comparing their performances with those of the existing rotor profiles.

This paper describes the development of simulation program which is able to design cutter profiles and 3-dimensional geometry for rotors in screw compressor. Based on the symmetric rotor profiles developed previously, cutters are designed and 3-dimensional geometries of rotors are generated used by simulation program. Symmetric rotors are manufactured by a universal milling machine, and surface geometries of them are measured by a 3-dimension scanner. It is shown that simulation program developed is useful to design cutter for rotor manufacturing and to generate the 3-dimensional helicoid geometry of rotor in screw compressor.

The balancing performance of an automatic ball balancer (ABB) in the vertical or horizontal position is studied in this paper. Considering the effects of gravity and angular velocity profiles, a physical model for an ABB installed on the Jeffcott rotor is adopted. The non-linear equations of motion for the rotor with ABB are derived by using Lagrange's equation. Based on derived equations, dynamic responses for the rotor are computed by using the generalized-u method. From the computed responses, the effects of gravity and angular velocity profiles on the balancing performance are investigated. It is found that the rotor with ABB can be balanced regardless of the gravity effect. It is also shown that a smooth velocity profile yields relatively smaller vibration amplitude than a non-smooth velocity profile.

A calculation method for predicting the instantaneous torques by the inductance profiles of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) is presented. The method considers saturation and nonlinearities in the magnetic circuits. The inductance of SRM varies complex according to the input current waveforms and rotor position angle, thus the accurate calculation technique is needed to estimate the inductance value at arbitary input current and rotor position angle. This paper describes how the inductance profiles influence the torque produced by the input current of SRM and, proposes a calculation technique of the permeabilities, reluctances, current waveforms and torques of a 6/4 3-phase SRM.
