Abstract: An electromechanical actuator includes a brushless motor driving an output shaft through a torque-amplifying geartrain. An integrated motor commutation sensor includes an annular, two-pole magnet rotating with the motor and two ratiometric Hall-effect sensors at right angles around the magnet. The sensor signals are utilized by a processor to compute motor angle over 360 degrees rotation. An integrated output position sensor includes a second annular magnet rotating with the output shaft, and a second pair of Hall-effect sensors providing signals to the processor for computation of output shaft absolute position. The commutation magnet angle is predicted from the output shaft position, and compared to the motor's sensed rotational angle. The difference is used to correct the output shaft sensed angle with improved accuracy proportional to the gear ratio. The processor also provides logic signals to control motor winding current and provide closed-loop control of actuator position.

Abstract: A superconductor motor operates as a squirrel cage induction motor. The rotor is covered with a thin film of superconducting material and the magnetic field created by the stator is strong enough to quench the superconducting material to its normal state at periodic spots on the rotor. This periodic quenching both creates a squirrel cage configuration of superconducting material on the rotor and allows the stator field to penetrate the rotor to induce a current. Once the squirrel cage is “created” by the stator field and a current induced, the motor operates as a conventional squirrel cage induction motor.

Therefore, the output torsion of the rotor is enhanced and the stator's yoke height is increased while the iron loss and the temperature rise are reducible for upgrading the rotation efficiency. Meanwhile, the high slot-occupied ratio to affect the assembling efficiency is also avoidable.

It is thus possible to mass-produce a piezoelectric resonator unit high in impact resistance and reliability with only slight variations of frequency when exposed to high temperatures.
