The motors eliminate the need for an encoder in mediumaccuracy applications, produce torque equal to the next larger frame size of a standard ac motor, and deliver 25 to 40% higher efficiency. Enclosed in an aluminum housing, the motors have a three-phase stator winding with custom-designed rotor with permanent magnets embedded in the stack for a perfectly sinusoidal magnetic field and even flux distribution. The perfectly sinusoidal back-EMF signal from the motor lets sensorless drive controllers calculate speed and position without an encoder. Typical accuracy is under 1° when coupled to a gearbox, or ±5° at the motor shaft.
The embedded permanentmagnets produce a higher dynamic for faster response/acceleration with better speed control. The design also allows field weakening for overspeed use at lower output torque, while the high efficiency delivers longer battery life between charges.
