  • Patent number: 9483036
    Abstract: This disclosure discloses a motor control apparatus including a current conversion part, a voltage control part, a current detection part, and a phase compensation part. The current conversion part generates a voltage command on the basis of a current deviation between a current command and an estimated current. The voltage control part controls an output voltage to a motor. The current detection part detects a motor current. The phase compensation part inputs the detected motor current and the voltage command and outputs, as the estimated current, the motor current in which a delay in phase of the motor current relative to the current command has been compensated.

  • Patent number: 7976258
    Abstract: There is provided a screw treated by a chemical conversion coating of trivalent chromium having a torque characteristic approximately equivalent to a screw of a hexavalent chromate treatment. For the purpose, on a surface of a bolt, a zinc plating layer is formed by a zinc plating treatment. On the layer, a chemical conversion coating of trivalent chromium is also formed by a treatment of chemical conversion coatings of trivalent chromium. The coating is formed to be thin and soft so that the zinc-based plating layer can be exposed on the surface due to rubbing off of the chemical conversion coating of trivalent chromium at a contact portion to a fastened member of the bolt by tightening the bolt.
