  • Control loading with slotted motor
    Patent number: 11404980
    Abstract: A technique for control loading employs a slotted motor having a higher power density than comparably-powerful slotless motors. The use of smaller slotted motors enables more efficient mounting hardware, smaller gear reduction mechanisms, and more efficiently mounted force transducers. The technique overcomes cogging and smooths torque response of the slotted motor by combining high-gain servo control with high-resolution motor sensing.
    Type: Grant
