Voice coil motors (VCMs) are becoming more popular due to their small size and high dynamic performance. They are commonly used in hard disk drives and vibration isolators in optical systems. Torque ripple is an important performance index for rotary VCM. In order to reduce torque ripple and make their dynamic performance better, various parameters of two different rotary VCM topologies are studied with finite element analysis. The effects of magnet separation angle, coil separation angle and coil type on torque characteristics are analyzed. In order to achieve better dynamic performance and higher precision, optimization study is conducted to find optimum design, which has only 3.3% torque ripple throughout its whole operation range.

Optimum geometry for torque ripple minimization of switched reluctance motors Sahin, F; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2000-03-01) For switched reluctance motors, one of the major problems is torque ripple which causes increased undesirable acoustic noise and possibly speed ripple. This paper describes an approach to determine optimum magnetic circuit parameters to minimize low speed torque ripple for such motors. The prediction of torque ripple is based on a set of normalized permeance and force data obtained from numerical field solution for doubly-salient geometries. For that purpose a neural net is trained to extract the data neede...
Design of synchronous reluctance machines with a wide speed range Yılmaz, Yusuf Basri; Bostancı, Emine; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-10) Synchronous reluctance machines (SynRMs) are a good alternative for traction and industrial applications due to their good power density, low cost and high efficiency. However, they suffer from high torque ripple, low power factor and poor high speed performance due to their singly excited nature. To overcome these challenges, rotor geometries are optimized to get a low torque ripple and ferrite magnets are inserted in the flux barriers to get a higher power factor and a better high speed performance. Thi...
Control of BLDC Motor in Presence of Static Rotor Eccentricity Shakouhi, S. Mohammad; Mohamadian, Mustafa; Afjei, S. Ebrahim (2011-09-10) BLDC motors are one of the motor types rapidly gaining popularity. In recent years various researches have been done in the field of motor fault detection and fault tolerant control. However, in the case of rotor problems, especially rotor eccentricity tolerant control a few papers have been presented. Since in sensitive industries, continuous operation with good performance till the maintenance time is very important, operating in the desired condition in presence of this kind of fault is really advantageo...
Design of a compliant mechanism to amplify the stroke of a piezoelectric stack actuator Keskin, Tamer; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) Main objective of this study is to design a compliant mechanism with high frequency and high mechanical amplification ratio to be used for amplifying the stroke of a piezostack actuator. In this thesis, first of all, related literature is investigated and then alternative conceptual designs are established utilizing the mechanisms found in literature survey. Once best conceptual design is selected, detailed design of this mechanism is done. For detailed design of the compliant mechanism, topology optimizati...
Soft starting of large induction motors at constant current with minimised starting torque pulsations Zenginobuz, G; Cadirci, I; Ermiş, Muammer; Barlak, C (2000-10-12) The performance of a voltage-controlled, large induction motor soft starter has been improved, resulting in nearly perfect current and torque profiles. The performance analysis of the soft starter, motor - load combination has been carried out in dynamic state using a hybrid induction machine model which takes account of disconnected, two-phase and three-phase operational modes of the machine. Some simple control strategies have been proposed to keep the current constant at any preset value during starting,...
