History: Concept to CommercializationSlide5
The First DC MotorBuilt by Thomas Davenport in his shop in Vermont in 1837.
He used magnetized railroad track spikes secured to a wooden drum for the rotor.
He purchased an electromagnet for the stator winding.
His wife sacrificed a silk dress for the wire insulation.The electric source was a 3 cell Grove battery.The invention was a technical success but a dismal commercial failure.Slide6
Brush DC motors have evolved into high-performance energy converters with the advent of permanent magnets.Slide7

Brush DC PM Basics: Advantages and DisadvantagesSlide9
Brush DC PM AdvantagesSlide10
Getting a motor moving requires the proper timing of current in the motor windings. This function is called “motor commutation.”The simplest commutation system is a mechanical one in the form of a metal ring electrically divided in segments, where each segment is connected to part of the motor windings.
As the commutator ring and windings rotate together, the timing of the current in the windings depends on which “commutator” segments are in contact with the metal brushes.

Brush DC PM DisadvantagesSlide27
Negative Impact on EnvironmentBrush-to-commutator (metal-on-metal) sparking presents potential hazard.Brush-to-commutator (metal-on-metal) also creates excessive EMI/RFI electrical noise/interference.
Brush wear creates particle contamination.
Limited speed range due to mechanical brush-commutator resistance as brushes ‘ride’ on the metal commutator.

Mechanical Wear Is Not Easily PredictedBrush DC motors have been used for over 120 years, and we still do not know how to predict brush wear with any mathematical certainty.
It is operating life uncertainty that has plagued the brush DC motor.

Remote Presence Robot
Challenge?
Need expertise located remotely with a patient in immediate need? Need remote control to move about, see, hear, and be seen and be heard? Need to be able to operate on batteries; quiet; reliable?
Motor Need?Highly reliable, efficient, lighter weight, small, higher power per volume.Motion Solution?Coreless brush motor, geared (planetary, low backlash, precise) to translate higher speed to higher torque. Electronics for precision camera positioning; mitigation of EMI/RFI emissions. Innovative feedback combining potentiometers and magnetic encoders to achieve absolute and relative positioning inexpensively. Slide48
Autonomous All Terrain Vehicle
Challenge?
How do you go where it may be unsafe or difficult for humans to assess a problem; rescue miners or earthquake victims; inspect or analyze farm land; inspect nuclear plants; inspect construction in progress or hazardous industrial areas? All in extremely varied and at times difficult terrain?
Motor Need?Operate at very low voltages (battery, solar powered); high torque per weight; easy to control.Motion Solution?Coreless brush motor, geared (planetary, low backlash, precise) with precious metal commutator for minimum size and ability to operate at lower voltages. Small and light weight are also important in mobile applications.Slide49

Piezo Actuators Overview
Piezo
technology, while not electromagnetic in nature, is an interesting and alternative approach to actuation where physical contact (like brushes in a DC PM motor) help convey the energy needed for motion.
Like a DC motor, piezo technology is energized by applying a voltage to the mechanism and that electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy in the form of vibrations.By controlling the application of the energy and the structure of the stationary and moving elements, linear or rotary motion is initiated. Many camera auto-focuses use piezo rotating motors. Metrology applications (small movements) are also an important area of use.Slide51
Piezo Advantages/Disadvantages
Advantages:
Capable of very small moves (
nano motion).Very high holding torque with almost no power consumed.Fast response (micro-seconds) compared to electromagnetic devices (high milli-seconds).Operate in harsh environments such as vacuums, extreme cold, high magnetic fields, high energy radiation where typical electro-magnetic and PM actuators require special designs or materials.Disadvantages (compared to electromagnetic devices)Operate primarily at very slow speeds.Travel is limited.Limited at high temperature levels (200 deg C).Made of brittle material.High hysteresis (does not return to original position) and creep, but both controllable.Slide52
Surgical Robot I
nside
A
n MRIChallenge?If you can position a surgical probe remotely, while you view an active MRI image you can increase the accuracy of the surgical procedure and reduce surgery time. But the extremely strong magnetic field of the MRI creates significant challenges for standard electric motor-driven robots. Screws, gears,motors become hazards within the MRI unit. Motor Need?Unaffected by the strong magnetic field of the MRI machine. Accurate, micro positioning. Audibly and electrically quiet.
Motion Solution?
Piezo
-electric ceramic actuator. Creates motion
when a voltage is applied. No magnetic/metal parts.
Special design to increase speed. Inherently safe as loss of power brings
the motion to a stop.
