Abstract:
An electronic control system removes any irregularities in the rotation of an electrical motor by introducing a controlled DC bias component in the armature or field windings of the motor. The DC bias level is selected to produce a magnetic field which adds to or subtracts from the magnetic field produced by alternating current used to drive the motor. This way, the motor may receive an uneven torque which exactly compensates for any irregularity in the motor and causes the motor to run smoothly and evenly.
Abstract:
This invention provides a servo system for controlling a motor driving a rotary magnetic head assembly in a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus. The motor is driven by an output signal from an oscillator. A first phase comparator produces a first control signal responsive to the phase difference between a signal which is synchronous with the rotation of the motor and a reference signal which is derived from a signal that is to be recorded. A second phase comparator produces a second control signal responsive to the phase difference between the output of the oscillator and the reference signal. The first and second control signals are added to control the oscillating frequency and phase of the oscillator and thereby maintain a proper rotation of the motor.
Abstract:
In a continuous scanning system, a rotary magnetic head scans a magnetic tape with oblique tracks from a beginning end to a terminating end of the tape. When the magnetic head has reached the end of the tape, the rotating direction of the magnetic head and the travelling direction of the magnetic tape are automatically reversed. The magnetic head again continuously and endlessly scans the tape. The magnetic head thus records or reproduces signals on the magnetic tape, upon the above scanning.
