RESEARCH INITIATION AWARD: Micromotor Control Electronics

9309280 Garverick拟议的研究项目的总体目标是开发闭环控制电子静电微电机，提高电机性能，使微机电系统的发展，增加了复杂性。 电子设备将支持两种操作模式：1）连续旋转，如泵等设备所需，以及2）离散步进，如开关应用所需。 控制电子设备将被设计为获得近似平滑的连续旋转，具有最大平均扭矩，与电机负载（气体或液体介质）无关。 凸极和摆动微电机将被调查。 ***

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. ***
