    Rotor Design Optimization of the Miniature Flux Switching Motor Using a Multivariate Optimization Method

    by Dang-Khoa Nguyen and Hua-Chih Huang

    Abstract

    The Flux Switching Motor (FSM) finds wide applications across various industrial and residential domains. Enhanced motor performance correlates directly with an increase in average torque (Tavg), while a rise in torque ripple (Tripple) leads to heightened instability, particularly evident at higher speeds. To mitigate the impact of these factors on miniature FSM operation, this study conducted simulations and analyzed the influence of rotor geometric parameters on design model p...

    Comparison of Metrology-Grade Squareness Error Measurement Methods

    by Jr-Rung Chen , Sheng-Hsiang Hung and Ming-Xian Lin

    Abstract

    This study compares two metrology-grade methods for measuring squareness errors in three-axis machine tools: the Swing Round Method (SRM) and the Reversal Method (RM). The experiment utilized a holeplate with standard size transfer functionality as a geometric error analysis reference, comparing the measurement results of these two methods. The experimental results show that the measurement differences between the two methods remain consistently within 1 arcsecond, meeting the ...

    Developing an Automatic Measuring Instrument for the Prismatic Refractive Power of Lenses

    by Ching-Huang Lin , Cheng-Chung Lee , Wen-Hong Wu , Fu-Kuei Chan and Shun-Yuan Chien

    Abstract

    With improvements in quality of life, the demand for high-quality safety glasses and sunglasses has increased. Prismatic refractive power is a crucial aspect of eyewear testing. According to ISO 18526- 1:2020, this testing procedure involves focusing an inspection beam on a scale target 2 m away after it passes through the glasses. Subsequently, the prismatic refractive power of the lenses is determined by observing the displacement of the focal point. Nevertheless, human observ...

    Comprehensive Modal Analysis, Experimental Validation, and Topology Optimization of High-Precision Surface Grinding Machine

    by Yi-Cheng Ye , Shinn-Liang Chang , Tzu-Chi Chan and Keng-Chang Chang

    Abstract

    This study focuses on the dynamic characteris￾tics of a high-precision surface grinding machine. Modal analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to determine the fundamental frequen￾cies of the structure. An Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) was conducted to validate the vibration char￾acteristics and prevent resonance. Modal analysis con￾firms primary and secondary natural frequencies of 68.2 and 134.3 Hz, respectively, with a discrepancy of <10% compared to experiment...

    Investigation on the Sliding Wear Characteristics of Ball Bearing Rolling Body under Starved Lubrication

    by Zhong-Tang Huo , Jian-Qi Chen , Ling-Juan Hao and Jian-Song Gao

    Abstract

    The long-term operation of ball bearing leads to the deterioration of lubrication condition, resulting in starved lubrication, which intensifies the wear of rolling body(RB). Accurately identifying this fault has a significant impact on bearing condition monitoring. In this paper, the wear of RB was quantified by diameter difference, and the friction between components was considered, the fault dynamic model of RB wear under the condition of starved lubrication was established....

    Analysis of the Magnet-Rotating-Type Axial Magnetic Coupler Speed Regulation Performance

    by Ao Wang , Yafei Guo , Jian Wang and Yutang Qi

    Abstract

    To solve the current problem of a single magnetic coupler speed regulation method, a permanent magnet (PM) rotatable magnetic coupler structure is proposed, named magnet-rotating-type axial magnetic coupler (MAMC). The MAMC can be speed regulated in three ways: through air gap regulation, rotary regulation, and composite regulation. Then, a test platform of MAMC was built to carry out experimental research on speed regulation model of constant torque load, quadratic rate load...
