In recent years, permanent magnet motors (PM) have been widely used in robotics, aerospace and hybrid electric cars,etc. Permanent magnet motors is very popular nowadays. Besides the current praise of environmental-friendly development mode, the deep reason is that compared with traditional motors, permanent magnet motors have higher performance, higher torque density, and lower weight.
Permanent magnet motor is composed of stator, the armature(rotor) and brush holder and other components. The operation of permanent magnet motor depends on the rotating magnetic field of stator and the constant magnetic field of rotor. It produces a sinusoidal flux distribution in the air gap between the rotor and the stator components. The stator structure of permanent magnet motor is fundamentally similar to that of ordinary induction motor. High-quality permanent magnet are placed on the rotor to generate constant magnetic flux, synchronous speed operation and locking. Permanent magnet motors are usually divided into surface permanent magnet motors (SPM) and interior permanent magnet motors (IPM), depending on where permanent magnets are placed on the rotor.
SPM have the magnets affixed to the exterior of the rotor surface. This rotor has a simple structure, but the asynchronous torque generated is small. It is only suitable for the occasions with low starting requirements and rarely applied. The permanent magnet with IPM have the permanent magnet imbedded into the rotor itself. Unlike their SPM counterparts, the location of the permanent magnets make IPM motors very mechanically sound, and suitable for operating at very high speeds. It has good starting performance. Most permanent magnet synchronous motors use this structure.
Ericco mainly provides users with DC permanent magnet servo motors and DC permanent magnet torque motors. Servo motor is a permanent magnet motor used for motion control applications. And can adopt closed-loop control mode with high control precision. Typically, in an interior permanent-magnet motor design, it is paired with a specific amplifier as part of a matched set to maximize performance.
Torque motor is a motor with torque as the control direction. It adopts the open-loop control mode. It is a special motor with soft mechanical characteristics and wide speed range.The Permanent Magnet DC Torque motor can output large torque at low speed. Its direct coupling has no gear reduction and load. It improves the accuracy and stability of the system and enables it to have a greater acceleration capacity. It can be used as an executive element of a high-precision position and speed servo system, and can also be used as a low-speed motor.
