Abstract: A system for control of a torque developed by an electric machine, based on a rotary position of a rotary component. The rotation of the rotary component is dependent on a rotation of a rotary shaft of the electric machine. The system utilizes a rotary position sensor to detect specific positions of the rotary component and allows altering the torque of the electric machine based on the specific rotary positions. The system allows altering the torque when a specific gear tooth of a downstream or upstream gear is in a contact position with another meshing component. The electric machine may be configured to operate as an electric motor driving a gearbox or an electric generator driven by a gearbox.
