This paper highlights the system requirements and operating conditions of automatic air recirculation valves and reviews compatibility of existing actuator types with these requirements. When comparing the available technologies, it becomes clear that air recirculation flap actuators containing a bipolar stepper motor offer key advantages over actuators with other motor types. It is shown how s...

Multi-axis stepper motors offer a compact solution to actuate multiple degrees of freedom in mechanical system by single device. This research presents an electric motor with three coaxial shafts driven stator. The dimensions are 42 × 44 mm$^3$ (excluding output shafts), its mass is 0.326 kg and it includes rotors height 7 mm different number teeth. maximum torque for one rotor at low speed 1 A...

Vibration torque are existence obviously during operation of stepping motor, it is a periodic structure vibration problem. In this paper, the actual vibration torque testing of stepper motor is executed through a selfmade vibration torque sensor, the experimental results show that the stepping motor vibration torque of single three shot operation is more bigger than the six shot, and obvious re...

We present three novel mechanical laser shutter designs based, respectively, on a stepper motor, a relay, and a piezoelectric actuator. Each shutter type is ideally suited to a specific shuttering application. The stepper motor is well suited for applications requiring low vibrations, the relay is compact and capable of rapid bursts, and the piezoelectric is 2 orders of magnitude faster than ot...

We present the design, fabrication and characterization of a novel microvalve realized by combining micro and fine machining techniques. The design is for high flow rates at high pressure difference between inlet and outlet, burst pressure of up to 15 bars, there is no power consumption required for the valve to maintain its position during operation in any intermediate state and the process ga...

This paper presents an improved micro-step voltage-fed actuator for an automobile active grill shutter (AGS) system. A novel structured stepper motor, which contains both the main and auxiliary teeth in the stator, is proposed for the actuator. In a normal permanent magnet (PM) motor coils are generally wound on all the stator teeth, however, in the proposed motor, the winding is only on the ma...

Stepper motor is found in a lot of applications such as computer peripherals, business machines, process control, machine tools and robotics. Especially in different areas of robotics, process control like silicon processing, I.C. Bonding and Laser trimming applications, it is necessary to control the stepper motor from remote places. The present paper describes a remote angular position contro...

This paper addresses the design and commutation of a novel kind of spherical stepper motor in which the poles of the stator are electromagnets and the poles of the rotor (rotating ball) are permanent magnets. Due to the fact that points on a sphere can only be arranged with equal spacing in a limited number of cases (corresponding to the Platonic solids), design of spherical stepper motors with...

This paper describes the stepper motor position control implemented using a novel nonsingleton type-1 fuzzy logic system to update the gains of the professional proportional-integral-derivative controller running on ATMEGA 2560 microcontroller. In this work, three controllers are compared: a) the professional proportional-integral-derivative controller, b) the type-1 singleton fuzzy logic syste...

Shaking tables are frequently used to determine the dynamic behavior of structures in laboratory environment. In order obtain realistic results experimental studies, table response and performance should be consistent with desired motion. this multidisciplinary study, an application a new method for determining calibrating mechanical developed bi-axial displacement controlled shake according mo...
