Abstract:
A comtrol system is composed of a saturation amplifier delivering a positive or negative saturated voltage depending on the sign of a difference voltage between a command voltage and a negatively fed back speed-representing voltage of the motor to be controlled, a proportional-intergrating circuit (operable in P-I mode) receiving a difference voltage between the output of the saturation amplifier and a negatively fed back voltage representing the actual armature current through the motor as its input, and a power amplifier in the form of a chopper amplifier operated in a shorter repetition period in comparison with the mechanical time constants of the d.c. motor for supplying an output current to the d.c. motor.
Abstract:
A contact-free synchronizer for presetting two distinct, independently adjustable stopping positions of the work shaft of an electric drive with electromagnetic brake. The stop pulses are obtained by two oppositely magnetized permanent magnets rotating at a common radius but at different angular positions past a stationary Hall generator whose output is fed, via a differential amplifier and flip-flop, to the brake, so that only the signal of one magnet is utilized. To switch the brake to the signal of the other magnet, it is only necessary to reverse the potential of the Hall generator.
Abstract:
A fan brake system for controlling an industrial fan system, the fan brake system including a fan brake having a brake pad movable on the fan brake to selectively engage the fan system. An actuator including a motor can be operable to cause the fan brake to perform a braking procedure on the fan system to resist rotational movement of the fan system. A controller can be communicated with the actuator, the controller operable to selectively cause the actuator and the fan brake to perform the braking procedure, wherein the controller is operable to monitor and control power being supplied to the motor of the actuator during the braking procedure to maintain a torque output of the motor according to a predetermined torque profile during the braking procedure.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for holding a motor vehicle by means of an electrically actuated brake comprises applying the brake until a target force is reached. For holding purposes, a motor torque is reduced by applying a negative preset value for a target angular velocity for a motor torque of an electric actuator of the brake.
Abstract:
A brake control device for controlling a brake device of the non-excitation-actuated type includes: a power supply; a brake control unit outputting a brake control signal; an opening/closing unit opening and closing a circuit between the power supply and brake device according to the brake control signal; a state detection unit outputting a state detection signal indicating an electric potential state of a circuit between the opening/closing unit and the brake device; an abnormality detection unit detecting whether an abnormality is absent or present based on a content of the brake control signal and a content of the state detection signal; a brake lock switch connected between input terminals of the brake device to be connected in parallel with the brake device; and a brake lock switch control unit closing the brake lock switch when the abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit.
Abstract:
