Patent number: 4237394Abstract: An improved frequency generator is disclosed. The frequency generator includes such a permanent magnet that is magnetized in the direction of the axis of a rotary shaft with which the rotor of the generator is rotated. Between the second magnetic pole side of the permanent magnet and the rotor, there is disposed a flanged cylindrical frame member comprising a flange part and a cylinder part. At the side of the second magnetic pole, the permanent magnet is connected with the flange part of the frame member. The cylinder part of the frame member is arranged so as to surround the circumferential surface of the rotor. The flanged cylindrical frame member disposed in this manner is magnetically conductive so that the area through which the magnetic flux flows between the second magnetic pole side of the permanent magnet and the rotor is effectively increased as compared with the conventional one.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1978Date of Patent: December 2, 1980Assignees: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Canon Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kanemasa Aoki

Patent number: 4051420Abstract: This specification discloses a Hall motor control system in which Hall elements detect the position of a rotor comprising a permanent magnet to switch over driving currents flowing to driving coils. Induced voltages produced in the driving coils or the voltage detecting coils by rotation of the motor are synthesized by a diode, and the resultant voltage is level-shifted by a level shift circuit including a transistor, and then compared with a reference speed voltage. To control the input to the Hall elements by the comparison output and provide a constant speed of rotation, there are provided temperature compensating means formed by diodes in the base circuit of the transistor of the level shift circuit and in the reference speed voltage circuit, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1976Date of Patent: September 27, 1977Assignees: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Canon Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kinji Tanikoshi
