  • Patent number: 8526013
    Abstract: A batteryless absolute encoder determines the accuracy of absolute position information to be output when electric power is turned on and outputs an alarm signal in the case of abnormality. The batteryless absolute encoder includes an absolute position computing section, an absolute position storing section, and a determining section. The absolute position computing section computes the absolute position of a spindle to be detected, including the number of revolutions of the spindle, based upon detection signals output from four reluctance resolvers. The absolute position storing section stores the absolute position output from the absolute position computing section when electric power is turned off. The determining section compares an absolute position output from the absolute position computing section when electric power is turned on and the stored absolute position and outputs an alarm signal if a difference between the two absolute positions is larger than a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 8358124
    Abstract: A magnetic absolute encoder with enhanced resolution is provided. A first cycle determining section 27 utilizes data stored in a fourth angle data storing section 23 to determine in which cycle of m cycles of the fourth angle data, fifth angle data, which has been newly computed in response to rotation of a rotary shaft 1, occurs. A second cycle determining section 29 determines in which cycle of n cycles of first angle data that occur in first determined cycle, the newly computed fifth angle data occurs. A third cycle determining section 31 determines in which cycle of N1 cycles of the first angle data, the current first angle data occurs, based on the first determined cycle and second determined cycle. An absolute position determining section 33 determines the absolute position based on third determined cycle and the digital value of the current first angle data.

  • Patent number: 7642681
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary electric machine, in which it is possible to reduce the dimension of a casing in a direction along a rotation center line. The rotary electric machine comprises a magnet rotor 2 rotating about a rotation center line 1 and one or more magnetic sensors 11 for detecting leakage flux leaking out of the magnet rotor 2. The magnet rotor 2 and a stator 3 are received in a casing 4. A sensor receiving portion 12 for receiving the one or more magnetic sensors 11 is disposed in an outer wall portion of a side wall of the casing 4 located in an extending direction of the rotation center line 1 of the magnet rotor 2. The one or more magnetic sensors 11 are received in the sensor receiving portion 12. The sensor receiving portion 12 is disposed in a position that allows the one or more sensors to detect leakage flux leaking out of the magnet rotor 2.

  • Patent number: 7047145
    Abstract: A resolver detected position compensation system for a resolver is provided that can enhance a position detection precision by performing a further compensation on a compensated position that was obtained from a static error compensation. The position detection circuit outputs a compensated detected position signal in which a static error has been compensated. The differential circuit differentiates the compensated detected position signal to obtain a rotational speed of the resolver. Based on a signal representing the rotational speed output from the differential circuit, the phase data memory device and the peak value memory device send the variation in phase and the amplitude peak value, respectively, of the dynamic error signal to the multiplication device. The multiplication device calculates an estimated dynamic error and the subtraction circuit removes the estimated dynamic error from the compensated detected position signal.
