Self-Calibrating Position Measurements: Applied to Imperfect Hall Sensors
Max van Meer, Marijn van Noije, Koen Tiels +4
Linear Hall sensors are a cost-effective alternative to optical encoders for measuring the rotor positions of actuators, with the main challenge being that they exhibit position-de…
GraFIT: A toolbox for fast and accurate frequency response identification in Gravitational Wave Detectors
Mathyn van Dael, Max van Haren, Gert Witvoet +2
Frequency response function (FRF) measurements are widely used in Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, e.g., for the design of controllers, calibrating signals and diagnostic problem…
Compensating Hysteresis and Mechanical Misalignment in Piezo-Stepper Actuators
Max van Meer, Tim van Meijel, Emile van Halsema +3
Piezo-stepper actuators enable accurate positioning through the sequential contraction and expansion of piezoelectric elements, generating a walking motion. The aim of this paper i…
Robust Commutation Design: Applied to Switched Reluctance Motors
Max van Meer, Gert Witvoet, Tom Oomen
Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are cost-effective electric actuators that utilize magnetic reluctance to generate torque, with torque ripple arising from unaccounted manufacturi…
Nonlinear Bayesian Identification for Motor Commutation: Applied to Switched Reluctance Motors
Max van Meer, Rodrigo A. González, Gert Witvoet +1
Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) enable power-efficient actuation with mechanically simple designs. This paper aims to identify the nonlinear relationship between torque, rotor an…
