RESEARCH INITIATION AWARD: Micromotor Control Electronics

9309280 Garverick提出的研究项目的总体目标是为静电微电机开发闭环控制电子设备，以提高电机性能，并使微机电系统的发展更加复杂。电子器件将支持两种操作模式：1)泵等设备所需的连续旋转，以及2)开关应用所需的离散步进。控制电子设备将被设计成以最大平均扭矩获得近似平稳，连续的旋转，独立于电机负载（气体或液体介质）。我们将研究凸极微电机和摆动微电机。＊＊＊

9309280 Garverick The general objective of the proposed research project is to develop closed-loop control electronics for electrostatic micromotors which improves motor performance and enables the development of microelectromechanical systems with increased sophistication. Two modes of operation will be supported by the electronics: 1) continuous rotation, needed for devices such as pumps, and 2) discrete stepping, such as required in switching applications. The control electronics will be designed to obtain approximately smooth, continuous rotation with maximum average torque, independent of motor loading (gaseous or liquid medium). Both salient-pole and wobble micromotors will be investigated. ***
