  • Patent number: 11962202
    Abstract: A motor includes a shaft, a rotor, a stator including a coil and opposed to the rotor, and a bearing configured to support the shaft. In addition, the motor further includes a first temperature sensor disposed farther toward an outer periphery side than the coil, and a second temperature sensor disposed farther toward an inner periphery side than the coil.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230231442
    Abstract: The application is a motor capable of reducing vibration. A motor includes a shaft, a pair of bearings, a sleeve accommodating the pair of bearings, a magnet fixed at one of the shaft and sleeve, a coil fixed at the other of the shaft or the sleeve and opposing the magnet, and an elastic member disposed between the pair of bearings and satisfying Expression 1. D is an outer diameter [m] of the elastic member, d is a wire diameter (p [m] of the elastic member, ? is a unit volume weight [kg/m3] of a material of the elastic member, S is a no-load rotation number [rotation/min] of the shaft, and g is gravitational acceleration.

  • Patent number: 9742327
    Abstract: A motor drive controller includes: a motor driver that applies a voltage to each phase of a motor to rotate; a rotational position detector that detects rotational position of the motor and generates rotational position information indicating the rotational position; and a controller that outputs, to the motor driver, driving control signals for repeatedly adjusting an advance angle and a lag angle at energization switching of the each phase of the motor in a prescribed pattern based on the rotational position information generated by the rotational position detector.

  • Publication number: 20110175481
    Abstract: The permanent magnet type rotary machine is capable of reducing cogging torque even if permanent magnets are displaced in the axial direction and which is capable of reducing production cost and increasing torque. At least a stator unit of a first phase out of two stator units, which are stacked with a phase difference of (360°/(2P)), is stacked m-th, from one end of the stack of the stator units, to face magnetic poles of one of the permanent magnets. The other stator unit of the second phase, whose excitation cycle is shifted ¼ cycle with respect to that of the stator unit of the first phase, is stacked ((nQ/2)+m)-th, from the one end of the stack, to face magnetic poles of another permanent magnet. Note that, P is number of the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet; m is an integer of (nQ/2) or less, and one or more; Q is an even number of two or more; and n is an integer of one or more, and the product of n×Q is an integer of four or more.
