  • Patent number: 12341447
    Abstract: The present invention achieves highly accurate control characteristics by estimating an induced voltage coefficient of a magnet motor without rotary auto-tuning. A first power Pc is calculated on the basis of the output voltage and output current of the magnet motor, and a second power P{circumflex over (?)} is calculated on the basis of the electric circuit constant, current command, output frequency, and induced voltage coefficient of the magnet motor. The induced voltage coefficient is estimated so that the calculated first power follows the second power, and the driving of the magnet motor is controlled in accordance with the induced voltage coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20230118423
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor is able to detect a magnetic field applied from a position detecting magnet that makes relative movement as an optical reflector is rotated. Rotation of the optical reflector enables the position detecting magnet to pass through a reference position where a rotation axis, a center or approximate center of the magnetic sensor, and a center or approximate center of the position detecting magnet are located in order on a straight line, as seen in the axial direction of the rotation axis. The magnetic sensor is in an XZ plane that includes a magnetization direction passing through the center or approximate center of the position detecting magnet located at the reference position, and the axial direction of the rotation axis.
