DC Motors (Brushed and Brushless)
Brief Introduction to AC Motors
Stepper Motors
Linear Motors

Electric Motor Basic Principles
Interaction between magnetic field and current
carrying wire produces a force
 Opposite of a generator

Kelvin Peng

Conventional (Brushed) DC Motors
Permanent magnets
for outer stator
 Rotating coils for inner
rotor
 Commutation
performed with metal
contact brushes and
contacts designed to
reverse the polarity of
the rotor as it reaches
horizontal


DC Motor considerations

Back EMF - every motor is also a generator
More current = more torque; more voltage = more speed
 Load, torque, speed characteristics


Shunt-wound, series-wound (aka universal motor),
compound DC motors
Kelvin Peng
6
Conventional (Brushed) DC Motors

Common Applications:
 Small/cheap devices such as toys, electric tooth
brushes, small drills
 Lab 3
 Pros:
 Cheap, simple
 Easy to control - speed is governed by the voltage
and torque by the current through the armature
 Cons:
 Mechanical brushes - electrical noise, arcing,
sparking, friction, wear, inefficient, shorting
Kelvin Peng
7
Brushless DC Motors

Essential difference - commutation is performed
electronically with controller rather than
mechanically with brushes
Kelvin Peng
8
Brushless DC Motor Commutation

Commutation is performed electronically using a
controller (e.g. HCS12 or logic circuit)
 Similarity with stepper motor, but with less #
poles
 Needs rotor positional closed loop feedback:
hall effect sensors, back EMF, photo transistors
Kelvin Peng

BLDC (3-Pole) Motor Connections
Has 3 leads instead of 2 like brushed DC
 Delta (greater speed) and Wye (greater torque)
stator windings


Brushless DC Motors

Applications
 CPU cooling fans
 CD/DVD Players
 Electric automobiles

Pros (compared to brushed DC)
 Higher efficiency
 Longer lifespan, low maintenance
 Clean, fast, no sparking/issues with brushed contacts

Cons
 Higher cost
 More complex circuitry and requires a controller
Kelvin Peng
11
AC Motors
Synchronous and Induction (Asynchronous)
 Synchronous: rotor rotation frequency = AC
current frequency

Kelvin Peng
12
AC Induction Motors (3 Phase)

Use poly-phase (usually 3) AC current to create a
rotating magnetic field on the stator

This induces a magnetic field on the rotor, which tries to
follow stator - slipping required to produce torque

Workhorses of the industry - high powered applications

Stepper Motors
Jiasheng He
14
Stepper Motor Characteristics

Brushless

Incremental steps/changes

Holding Torque at zero speed

Speed increase -> torque decreases

Usually open loop
Jiasheng He
15
Stepper Speed Characteristics
Torque varies inversely
with speed
 Current is proportional
to torque

Torque → ∞ means
Current → ∞, which
leads to motor damage
 Torque thus needs to
be limited to rated
value of motor


Types of Stepper Motors

Permanent Magnet

Variable Reluctance

Hybrid Synchronous
Jiasheng He
17
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
Rotor has permanent magnets
 The teeth on the rotor and stator are offset
 Number of teeth determine step angle
 Holding, Residual Torques

Jiasheng He
18
Unipolar
Two coils, each with a center tap
 Center tap is connected to positive supply
 Ends of each coil are alternately grounded
 Low Torque

Jiasheng He
19
Bipolar
Two coils, no center taps
 Able to reverse polarity of current across coils
 Higher Torque than Unipolar

Jiasheng He
20
Bipolar
More complex control and
drive circuit
 Coils are connected to an
H-Bridge circuit
 Voltage applied across
load in either direction
 H-Bridge required for each
coil

Jiasheng He
21
Variable Reluctance
No permanent magnet – soft iron cylinder
 Less rotor teeth than stator pole pairs
 Rotor teeth align with energized stator coils

Jiasheng He
22
Variable Reluctance
Magnetic flux seeks lowest reluctance path
through magnetic circuit
 Stator coils energized in groups called Phases

Jiasheng He
23
Hybrid Synchronous
Combines both permanent magnet and variable
reluctance features
 Smaller step angle than permanent magnet and
variable reluctance

Jiasheng He

Key Points you’ll learn:
The Good:
○ High linear position accuracy
○ Highly dynamic applications
○ High Speeds
The Bad:
○ Expensive! (>$3500)
Scott Koziol
How Linear Brushless DC Motors work [4],[6],[8]
,[3, p. 6]

Split a rotary servo motor radially along its axis
of rotation:

Flatten it out:

Result: a flat linear motor that produces direct
linear force instead of torque
Scott Koziol
Analysis Method
 Analysis is similar to that of rotary
machines [1]
 Linear dimension and displacements
replace angular ones
 Forces replace torques
Scott Koziol
Two Motor Components
•
[3][6, p. 480],[7],[8]
Motor coil (i.e. “forcer”)
– encapsulates copper windings within a core material
– copper windings conduct current (I).
•
Magnet rail
– single row of magnets or a double-sided (as below)
– rare earth magnets, mounted in alternating polarity on a steel
plate, generate magnetic flux density (B)
Motor coil
Magnetic rail
Scott Koziol
Generating Force [7] :
force (F) is generated when the current (I) and
the flux density (B) interact
F=IxB

Scott Koziol
Type 1: Iron Core [3],[6],[8]

 made of copper windings wrapped around iron
laminations
Advantages:
 efficient cooling
 highest force available per unit volume [3, p.8]
 Low cost
Disadvantages:
 High attractive force between the
Laminated forcer assembly
forcer and the magnet track
and mounting plate
 Cogging

Iron Plate
Type 2: Ironless Motors [3],[6],[8]
Forcer
 rides between dual magnet rails
 known as “Aircore” or “U-channel”
motors
 no iron laminations in the coil
Advantages:
 No Attractive Force- Balanced dual
magnet track
 No Cogging
 Low Weight Forcer - No iron means
higher accel/decel rates
 Easy to align and install.
Disadvantages:
 Heat dissipation
 Lower RMS power when compared to
iron core designs.
 Higher cost (2x Magnets!)

Differences in linear and rotary motor construction [3]
Conventional rotary drive
system

motor coupled to the load
by means of intermediate
mechanical components:

Gears

Ballscrews

Belt drives
Scott Koziol
Direct-drive linear motor
 No mechanical transmission
elements converting rotary
into linear movement
 simpler mechanical
construction
 low-inertia drive for highly
dynamic applications
Components of “complete” linear
motor system
1. motor components
2. Base/Bearings
3. Servo
controller/feedback
elements
4. cable management
[3]
Scott Koziol
System Components: Base/Bearings [3]
Design Considerations:

speed and acceleration capability

Service life

Accuracy

maintenance costs

Stiffness

noise.
Most Popular Bearings [3]

Slide bearings

Rolling-contact bearings

Air bearings
Others

Track rollers (steel or plastic roller wheels)

Magnetic bearings
Scott Koziol
System Components: feedback control loop [3]
Advantage
 position sensor can be located at or closer to the load
Disadvantages:
 effects of external forces are significantly greater
 Factors influencing ability to determine correct
position:
• quality of the position signal
• performance of the servo controller
Scott Koziol
System Components: Motor Commutation [3]
Conventional rotary servo systems:

Important to know the position of the rotor to properly switch
current through the motor phases in order to achieve the
desired rotation of the shaft
Linear Motors

must know the position of the forcer in relationship to the
magnet rail in order to properly switch the windings

forcer position need only be determined upon power up and
enabling of the drive
Scott Koziol
System Components: Positional Feedback [3]
analog transducers
 rack-and-pinion
potentiometers
 laser interferometers [9]
 Linear encoder (Most
Popular!)
 Optical (nanometer
resolution)
 Magnetic (1-5 micron
resolution)
 Sine encoder

Scott Koziol
System Components: Servo Control [3]
Extremely important to have a controller with fast
trajectory update rates
 no intermediate mechanical components or gear
reductions to absorb external disturbances or shock
loading
 disturbances have a significantly greater impact on the
control loop than they would when using other
technologies
Scott Koziol
Linear Motor Advantages

purchasing a linear motor system will be
more expensive than belt- or screw-driven
systems
