Abstract

The author presents a novel design of brushless magnet motors where the magnetic flux is controlled by the gradual flux control (GFC) method. This novel technique in magnetic field weakening allows a wide speed range at constant power (1750 to 7000 r.p.m.). Compared to the classical induction motor, the GFC motor is two times smaller and presents high positioning stiffness and a higher efficiency. Spindle drive, axis drives, and energy recovery are fully compatible on the same power supply. This method allows for expanded operation at constant power up to a ratio of 4:1 between the maximum speed and the base speed.<>
