  • CONTACTLESS SENSING OF A FLUID-IMMERSED ELECTRIC MOTOR
    Publication number: 20140294625
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring rotor position or velocity in an electric motor disposed in hydraulic fluid. The system comprises a contactless position sensor that measures electric motor rotor via magnetic, optical, or other means through a diaphragm that is permeable to the sensing means but impervious to the hydraulic fluid. An electronic sensor is positioned outside the operating fluid, whereas the motor is located in the fluid volume.

  • ACTIVE ADAPTIVE HYDRAULIC RIPPLE CANCELLATION ALGORITHM AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140294601
    Abstract: Hydraulic pumps/motors are used to convert between rotational motion/power and fluid motion/power. Pressure differential is achieved across the pump/motor by applying torque to either aid or impede rotation which generally results in either a pressure rise or pressure drop respectively across the unit. This torque is often supplied by an electric motor/generator. Especially in positive displacement pumps/motors this pressure differential is not a smooth value but rather it contains high frequency fluctuations known as pressure ripple that are largely undesirable. With thorough analysis it can be discovered that these fluctuations occur in a predictable manner with respect to the position (angular or linear) of the pump/motor. Using a model that contains this information, a feed-forward method of high-frequency motor torque control is implemented directly on the hydraulic pump/motor by adding to the nominal torque, a model-based torque signal that is linked to rotor position.
