  • Publication number: 20060197479
    Abstract: A sensorless and brushless motor is disclosed including a stator, a rotor, a control circuit and an induction coil (50). The stator includes a stator core (30) and a stator coil (34) wound around the stator core. The rotor includes a rotor magnet (40). The control circuit is electrically connected with the stator coil for controlling a current energizing the stator coil. The induction coil is mounted to the stator and electrically connected with the control circuit. When the rotor rotates, the induction coil is capable of outputting a signal to the control circuit and in response to the signal, the control circuit is capable of changing a direction of the current flowing in the stator coil. Thus, the commutation control for the stator coil is performed by the induction coil and the conventional Hall sensor is eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20050069235
    Abstract: A fluid bearing module has a bearing seat, a bearing, a deflecting member, and an impediment. The bearing seat has a capacity with an opening. The bearing in the capacity has a hollow space for the axis of a rotor to go through, and a lubricant medium is filled in between. The deflecting member protruding from the side near the opening of the bearing seat bends toward the capacity and clips on the rotor axis. The impediment protrudes from the side near the opening of the bearing seat for preventing the deflecting member from bending toward the opening and departing from the rotor. Moreover, the deflecting member and the impediment form a maze to keep the lubricant medium within.
