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…
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…
