Abstract:
In a magnetically levitated pump, an impeller-side ferromagnetic body (second ferromagnetic body) provided on a circumferential surface of an impeller facing a casing unit on the side of a position sensor and a casing-side ferromagnetic body (third ferromagnetic body) opposite to the impeller-side ferromagnetic body (second ferromagnetic body) to attract the impeller toward the casing unit on the side of the position sensor are adapted to have opposite portions of mutually different shapes, so that the maximum required attractive force of an electro-magnet for magnetic bearing is suppressed and length of the electro-magnet for magnetic bearing is made shorter.
Abstract:
To provide a sensor-incorporated wheel support bearing assembly, which is capable of stably detecting the load acting on the wheel and the rotational speed of the wheel and with which assembly a load sensor and/or a rotation sensor can be installed compactly in a vehicle, double rows of rolling elements 3 are interposed between respective raceways 4 and 5 of outer and inner members 1 and 2 opposed to each other, while a to-be-detected ring 9 (9A) having an eccentric or multangular outer diametric shape is provided in the inner member 2 with a displacement sensor provided the outer member 1 confronting the to-be-detected ring 9 (9A). For this displacement sensor, displacement sensors 10 and 11 having a facing portion areas, variable and invariable, respectively, with rotation of the to-be-detected ring 9 (9A) are arranged.

Abstract:
A pump portion is provided with an impeller internal to a casing. The impeller is coupled with a rotor physically out of contact therewith and it is also supported by a controlled, magnetic bearing portion physically out of contact therewith. The impeller is rotated by a motor to discharge fluid. A position sensor detects the impeller position in levitation and in response to the sensor's output the magnetic bearing portion is controlled. The magnetic bearing portion is configured of a plurality of electromagnets formed of a magnetic pole, a yoke and a coil. The electromagnet has magnetic S and N poles each with at least yoke and coil arranged circumferentially.
Abstract:
A centrifugal fluid pump assembly includes a centrifugal fluid pump and a control device. The centrifugal fluid pump comprises a pump section including a housing and an impeller having a first magnetic material and a second magnetic material and accommodated for rotation in the housing and without contacting the housing, an impeller rotational torque generating section including a rotor having a magnet for attracting the first magnetic material of the impeller and a motor for rotating the rotor, and an impeller position control section having an electromagnet for attracting the second magnetic material of the impeller. The control device has a function of limiting an input of a number of rotations of the motor more than a predetermined number of rotations or limiting an input of a motor-driving current having a value more than a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A main adjusting circuit obtains an intermediate value of maximum and minimum values of an output from a position sensor when a rotational shaft is brought into contact with a ball bearing for protection by reduction in a proportional constant K of a proportional circuit. An offset value corresponding to a difference between 0V and the intermediate value of the vibration is added to or subtracted from the output from the sensor for initial adjustment.
Abstract:
A centrifugal fluid pump assembly has a pump body and a controller. The pump body has a housing, a pump section having an impeller rotating inside the housing, an impeller rotational torque generating section having a motor for rotating the impeller and an impeller position control section. The impeller rotates without contacting the housing. The controller has an impeller-floating position control function for changing the floating position of the impeller inside the housing by using the impeller position control section, a function of measuring electric current for driving the motor and a fluid viscosity calculation function for calculating a viscosity of fluid by utilizing a variation amount of the motor-driving electric current obtained by changing the floating position of the impeller.
Abstract:
In a diagnostic device and a diagnostic method for a motor unit of an electric vehicle, an oil degradation/others detection unit is provided which is configured to detect at least any one detection item of a contamination degree, a degradation degree, and an oil amount of an oil used for cooling a motor unit or a reduction gear unit during a non-traveling period when the vehicle is powered on. An abnormalities-time control unit is provided which is configured to send notice of abnormalities of an oil supply system or not permit start of rotation of the motor unit when a detection value detected by the oil degradation/others detection unit is out of a setting range.
Abstract:
A centrifugal blood pump apparatus includes a plurality of permanent magnets (17) in an impeller (10) in a blood chamber (7), a plurality of coils (20) in a motor chamber (8), and a magnetic element (18) in each of the coils (20). The magnetic elements (18) are made shorter than the coils (20) to lower attractive force between the magnetic elements (18) and the permanent magnets (17) in the impeller (10), to set a large gap between the magnetic elements (18) and the permanent magnets (17). As a result, axial attractive force and negative rigidity can be lowered while required torque is satisfied.
Abstract:
An insertion device of a coil includes a delivery wire driving unit, a secondary catheter driving unit, and a control circuit. A platinum coil for coil embolization is attached to the tip of a delivery wire. The delivery wire driving unit is provided in the proximity of the entrance of a Y connector such that the delivery wire is advanced and moved back. The secondary catheter driving unit is provided in the proximity of the entrance of a Y connector such that the secondary catheter is advanced and moved back. The control circuit controls the delivery wire driving unit so as to insert the delivery wire by a predetermined insertion force. If the delivery wire cannot be inserted, the control circuit controls the secondary catheter driving unit such that the secondary catheter is advanced after being moved back, and then controls the delivery wire driving unit so as to insert the delivery wire.
