Abstract: A rotation direction control method of a cooling fan is disclosed. The rotation direction control method includes a detection step, a determination step and a driving step. The detection step receives a temperature control signal from a temperature detection unit by a rotation direction control unit when a predetermined dust-expelling time period begins. The determination step determines whether a detected temperature is higher than a predetermined value based on the temperature control signal by the rotation direction control unit. The driving step controls the rotation direction control unit to keep outputting a cooling signal so as to drive a motor of the cooling fan for a cooling operation when the determination of the determination step is positive.

Abstract: A system for forming a precision shaft for a permanent magnet motor employs a working surface region of the precision shaft and a coaxially arranged rotor region. A cutting tool is used to make a first machining or cutting pass along the entire length of the working and rotor regions. Subsequent passes of the cutting tool are limited to the working region of the motor shaft to form a threaded ball screw shaft portion. The rotor region, however, remains with but a continuous shallow groove that is surrounded by a helical shaft portion having the original diameter of the precision shaft. Thus, preparation of the shaft to effect bonding of the magnetic rotor does not affect the shaft diameter. The depth of the shallow groove in the rotor region is approximately between 0.001″ and 0.004″, and preferably 0.003″. The permanent magnet rotor is bonded to the rotor surface region of the precision shaft by an A+B heat cured type of epoxy.

As a result, the stresses caused by the press fit are not transmitted to the ring magnet (27), which is fragile (FIG. 1).
