Abstract
The vibration and the noise of the stepper motor is very high compare to other motors due to discrete steps and ringing at each step. Also have the limitations of accuracy, power and torque. Ultra low speeds are very important in control systems, usually are created using gear reduction motors. Achieving high accuracy, high power with smooth operation for, stepper motors and ultra low speed motors using conventional technology is expensive and highly complicated. Uses of the alternating current motors for stepper / ultra low speed motors are not possible with available technology mainly due to two reasons <ol id="olis87"> <li id="list88"> · The speed of the AC motor directly depends on the supply frequency and low frequency motors are bulky and inefficient. </li> </ol> <ol id="olis90"> <li id="list91"> · Ac motors always provides continues rotation and no discrete steps </li> </ol> Stand still magnetic field, created out of combination of rotating magnetic fields with ability to change the stand still position, makes stepper/ultra low speed motor using alternating current possible. This also creates many advantages in design because, the speed and the angular position of the motor is completely independent form the supply frequency. Two rotating magnetic fields of opposite directions are originated by swapping two phases on one supply and leaving other supply uninterrupted. When the amplitude, frequency and the phase angle of both the supplies are identical it creates non rotating (stand still) resultant magnetic field with sinusoidal varying amplitude. The direction of the resultant field is on the axis of the pole which the identical power phase is given (the phase not swapped). When the phase difference is introduced to two supplies the the direction of the resultant magnetic field rotates by half of the phase shift angle in 2 pole machine.
Description
Controlling & automation is very
important areas in modern industrial and engineering
processes. Electrical motors are the main tools used
in the area of control & automation engineering.
Almost all the movements, forces, rotations etc. are
created using electrical motors. Accuracy, power,
speed and the efficiency are very important factors in
design of automation and control systems
Stepper motors, servo systems with
Ultra low speed motors are widely used in control
mechanisms. Stepper motors are used to reach the exact
position in control systems, This is fairly complicated
task as an separate micro processor has to be used in
generating pulse pattern and the torque can be created
by stepper motor has many practical limitations. Ultra
low speed motors are always made by using gear reduction
mechanisms which increases the weight and cost of the
motors and also reduces the efficiency.
The accuracy of the angular
position of the stepper motor depends on the
number of poles of the motor and control
electronics, increased no of poles gives higher
accuracy but increases the cost and complication
of the motor and control system.
The vibration and the noise of the
stepper motor is also very high compare to other
motors as the rotor takes separate steps from
one position to another. In each discrete step the
rotor overshoots and bounces back and forth
before stabilize, this is called ringing. This
becomes a series issue when stepping frequency
get equal to the rigging frequency.
The power and the torque created by
conventional stepper motor has many limitations.
The angular speed of the three phase
alternating current synchronous / Induction
machines depends on the supply frequency and the
no of poles.
In most of the control systems the
ultra low speeds are created using gear
reduction motors. This makes the motors bulky and
increases the loss.
Constructing ultra low speed direct
drive motors using VFD is very difficult due to
high flux density created in low frequencies.
Combination of two parallel placed
3 phase windings with separate power supplies
are used to create a resultant magnetic field
which is stand still.
Two rotating magnetic fields of
opposite directions are originated by swapping
two phases on one supply and leaving other
supply uninterrupted. When the amplitude, frequency
and the phase angle of both the supplies are
identical it creates non rotating (stand still)
resultant magnetic field with sinusoidal varying
amplitude. The direction of the resultant field
is on the axis of the pole which the identical power
phase is given (the phase not swapped).
Introducing a phase difference to
the two supplies will make stand still axis
shifted by half of the phase variation angle.
This enables an ability to rotate the axis and stop
at any angular position, making the motor as
high accurate, smoother, low cost, high power and
small stepper motor.
Continues variation in phase angle
will make the magnetic field rotates and the
angular velocity and the direction is purely
depend on the phase difference which can be
controlled very easily and smoothly.
The angular accuracy of the motor
does not depend on, no of poles, control system
or supply frequency, it purely depends on the
accuracy of the phase shift which is very easy to
control. This gives the ability to stop the
motor at any angular location.
No overshoots, bounced back or
vibration in rotor due to smooth rotating
magnetic field.
Higher power and torque can be
generated.
The rotational speed depends only
on phase angle shift and this gives the ability
of controlling the speed and direction without
changing the supply Frequency.
Slow change in phase angle will
create ultra low angular speed, ignoring the
frequency of the supply.
Ability to change the direction of
rotating magnetic field very smoothly.
This allows to use higher frequency
power supply and makes the motor size smaller
because of low flux density in high frequency
for same power output.
There is no requirement of VFD or
gear reduction required for ultra low speed
direct drive motors.
Fig 1 A - Stator winding for three
phase machine rotating anti clock wise
Fig 1 B - Stator winding for three
phase machine rotating clock wise
Fig 2 - Winding diagram for
combination of clock wise and anti clock wise rotating
fields which creates stand still magnetic field
Fig 3 - Variation of the resultant
magnetic field with the introduction of phase shift to
one supply
Fig 4 - Rotor arrangement to
synchronize with changing amplitude of resultant
magnetic field
Fig 1 shows the arrangement of three
phase supply to create rotating magnetic field, Taking
the axis of pole of supply 'a' as horizontal
axis (x - axis),
If two clockwise & anti clockwise
windings are placed parallel as shown in fig 02 ,
Resultant magnetic field is stand still
on horizontal (x) axis and the amplitude is sinusoidal
in the frequency of supply voltage.
The position of the magnetic field
does not depend on the frequency of the supply,
creating the ability use any frequency as the supply
frequency. This gives enormous advantages in design
especially the size of the machine. Ability to change
the resultant angle according to the requirement
create a stepper motor with infinite no of steps,
exceptionally smooth and ability to provide more power.
Continues variation in the resultant
angle will create machine where speed can be easily
controlled in big range especially in ultra low
speeds, including angular direction.
Stand still magnetic field is created
by using two, 3 phase windings which are placed to
create rotating magnetic fields in opposite directions
as shown in Fig 02.
If same voltage and same phase is
supplied to the windings it creates perfectly stand
still sinusoidal varying magnetic field in the
direction of the core which identical phases are wound.
Applying a phase change of β to
one supply as in Fig 03, will make the system as below
Above results shows that introduction
of a phase shift of β to one of the supply,
makes the resultant magnetic field rotates by an angle
of β/2 and the magnitude of resultant will get a
lag of β/2
The concept used for rotor is almost
same as the concept in transformer. Rotor is made out
of laminated steel bar and applying the winding on it
as shown in Fig 04, this is exactly as transformer
secondary. This is a brushless rotor and magnetic
field is created by induced current.
When rotor gets aligned with the
resultant magnetic field, the field which is
sinusoidal goes through the rotor (winding), and
induced an EMF on the windings as transformer secondary.
When windings are interconnected at the ends the
current starts passing through the winding creating a
magnetic field along the rotor bar. The magnetic field
on the rotor gets synchronized with the resultant
field of the stator, and two fields get interlocked
creating an exceptionally accurate and smooth stepper
motor and ultra low speed motor which can easily
rotate back and forth.
The resultant magnetic field varies
sinusoidal , creating a changing magnetic force .
The variation in magnetic force
produce variation on the torque; that can lead to
creates vibrations and instability especially in
higher load situations.
Use of higher frequency power supplies
or use of parallel magnetic field concept (Patent
Application LK/P/1/16440) to improve the performance further.
This application may be used in almost
all the stepper motor requirements with more accuracy
because the rotation steps are unlimited and provides
higher power and torque.
Also this application can be used for
ultra low speed motors used in satellite tracking
mechanisms, focusing of cameras and telescopes etc.
