  • Publication number: 20090175601
    Abstract: A motor controller calculates a motor torque command based on motor speed and causes a motor to generate a torque corresponding to the motor torque command, to drive a machine load coupled to the motor. The motor controller includes a speed compensator that makes, when a speed compensation torque is calculated based on the motor speed, frequency characteristics of the speed compensation torque for the motor speed exhibit a low frequency cutoff characteristic so that steady-state gain in frequency response is less than a maximum gain value. A torque adder generates a motor torque command by adding to the existing motor torque command an externally input feedforward torque signal and the speed compensation torque.

  • Publication number: 20080232979
    Abstract: A swash plate compressor (41) is disclosed, wherein a shaft (43) is divided into a rear shaft (45) and a front shaft (47) coupled to each other through a torque limiter (65) with center holes (51, 69) communicating with each other. A lug plate (25) is fixed to the rear shaft (45). Machining of the center holes is thus facilitated while at the same time eliminating the need for rust-proofing of the torque limiter.

  • Publication number: 20080160338
    Abstract: The surface coated member comprises a substrate and a hard coating layer coated on the surface of the substrate. The hard coating layer comprises a lower layer composed of at least one layer and an upper layer composed of at least one layer and coated on the surface of the lower layer. When FU stands for a peeling load under which the upper layer starts to peel away from the surface of the lower layer and FL stands for a peeling load under which the lower layer starts to peel away from the surface of the substrate, the ratio (FL/FU) is 1.1 to 30. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a surface coated member that has excellent toughness and high fracture resistance, and that can be applied to a long life tool having excellent fracture resistance even under severe cutting conditions such as metal cutting, e.g., steel cutting and interrupted cutting of cast iron that bring a strong impact on a tool's cutting edge. It is also possible to maintain excellent fracture resistance and increase resistance to wear.

  • Patent number: 7172807
    Abstract: The surface-coated member 1 is constituted by coating the surface of the base body 2, made of such a material as cemented carbide or cermet, with the hard coating layer 3 that comprises at least one TiCN layer 4 and the Al2O3 layer 6 formed on the surface of the TiCN layer 4, wherein the TiCN layer 4 is constituted from stringer-like TiCN crystal grown in a direction perpendicular to the base body 2 and mean crystal width w1 of the TiCN layer 4 on the Al2O3 layer 6 side is made larger than mean crystal width w2 on the base body 2 side. This surface-coated member, as a cutting tool, shows excellent breakage resistance and high wear resistance with a long service life, where strong adhesion force of the hard coating layer can be maintained without experiencing peel-off between the TiCN layer and the Al2O3 layer even in cutting operations under harsh cutting conditions, such as intermittent cutting operation where the cutting edge is subject to strong impact.
