Abstract: A motor system includes a motor and a control unit that controls the motor. The motor includes: a rotor in which a magnetic flux generator is disposed; a stator including a back yoke and a plurality of teeth disposed side by side at intervals in a rotation direction of the rotor; a winding wound around the stator; and a plurality of magnetic sensors provided in slots that are spaces between adjacent ones of the teeth. The control unit includes a computation unit that obtains a rotation angle and/or an eccentricity of the rotor based on signals of the plurality of magnetic sensors, and a signal of the magnetic sensor used by the computation unit is a signal of the magnetic sensor provided in the slot in which the windings on both sides have the same phase and directions of energization opposite to each other.

Abstract: A permanent magnet synchronous electric motor includes a stator, a rotor, and a plurality of permanent magnets. Each of the plurality of permanent magnets has a first magnet end and a second magnet end in a circumferential direction. A recessed portion of each of the plurality of permanent magnets has a first recessed-portion end and a second recessed-portion end in the circumferential direction. L1?L2 is satisfied provided that a distance between the first magnet end and the first recessed-portion end is L1 and a distance between the second magnet end and the second recessed-portion end is L2.

Abstract: When the number of teeth included in an in-phase teeth group is represented by T, a first half-slot adjacent to a k-th tooth is represented by A(k, 1), and a second half-slot adjacent to the k-th tooth is represented by A(k, 2), the number of turns of the coil arranged in A(1, 1) is the same as the number of turns of the coil arranged in A(T, 2), the number of turns of the coil arranged in A(1, 1) is different from the number of turns of the coil arranged in A(1, 2). The number of turns of the coil arranged in A(k, 2) is different from the number of turns of the coil arranged in A(k+1, 1), and the number of turns of the coils provided in the slot is twice the number of turns of the coil arranged in A(1, 1).

Abstract: Two teeth on which windings are wound, and a teeth connecting portion disposed between the two teeth, connecting the teeth together, and having a mounting hole formed therein, are arranged in a line in a second direction, which is an arrangement direction. The teeth connecting portion has a support that supports the windings. The support has projections protruding from both end portions in the second direction of the teeth connecting portion to both sides in a first direction which is a width direction, and spaces formed between the projections in the second direction.

Abstract: In conventional rotors having a shape in which permanent magnets are skewed, a configuration in which, for example, the thicknesses of both ends of each magnet are increased is used in order to make the rotors symmetric between the forward and reverse directions, thereby causing excessive increase in the thicknesses. In a rotor 2 in which permanent magnets form magnet poles and the permanent magnets are skewed with respect to the axial direction, the thickness of each permanent magnet is increased at a portion that is most likely to be demagnetized, that is, a positive side portion F in a rotor part 2A skewed in the positive direction and a negative side portion F in a rotor part 2B skewed in the negative direction, whereby a demagnetization resistance strengthened portion is formed.

Abstract: A rotor core includes low permeability areas having lower permeability than that of a material of the rotor core, between an outer circumference of each magnetic pole and a side surface of each permanent magnet. The low permeability areas are formed asymmetrically with respect to a geometric center of each magnetic pole so that a magnetic center of the magnetic pole is displaced toward one side with respect to the geometric center. The rotor cores are placed upside down relative to each other so that a relative position in the circumferential direction of the low permeability areas with respect to the permanent magnets differs.

Abstract: A control device converts phase currents supplied to a permanent-magnet rotary motor into a d-axis current and a q-axis current on a dq coordinate axis, and calculates a current command (a d-axis current command or a q-axis current command) for changing at least one of values of the d-axis current and the q-axis current according to a rotor position, based on a torque command, the d-axis current and the q-axis current, so as to cause a magnitude of a reverse magnetic field acting on a permanent-magnet end part to be equal to or lower than a magnetic coercive force of a permanent magnet.

Abstract: A permanent-magnet type rotating electrical machine, including a rotor including a plurality of magnetic poles arranged at an equal interval, and a stator including a plurality of teeth and a plurality of armature windings. A high frequency voltage different in frequency and amplitude from voltages for generating a torque is applied to the armature windings. A magnetic pole position of the rotor is estimated by using a current trajectory of a measured high frequency current. When dq transform is applied to the measured high frequency current, a current trajectory forms an ellipse on d and q axes. Angular variation ranges of a major axis of the ellipse with respect to a load current and a rotor position are set so as to acquire a predetermined position estimation resolution.
