Torque Ripple Sensor And Mitigation Mechanism

US Patent:
2004007, Apr 29, 2004
Filed:
Oct 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/281883
Inventors:
Jason Neely - Albuquerque NM, US
Steven Pekarek - Salem MO, US
Jason Banaskavich - Manchester MO, US
Daniel Stutts - Rolla MO, US
Assignee:
The Curators of the University of Missouri
International Classification:
G01L003/02
US Classification:
073/862333
Abstract:
A torque ripple sensor and method for torque ripple sensing and/or mitigation. A piezoelectric sensor is positioned relative to a motor so that torque fluctuations due to torque ripple of the motor are transmitted to the sensor, resulting in strain of a piezoelectric element. A resulting signal can be amplified and conditioned for determining a magnitude of the torque ripple and/or fed into a feedback loop for applying current control or a counter-torque to the motor for torque ripple mitigation.
