Electric motor and control system
First Claim
1. The combination of a motor and a control system, comprising:
- an electrical motor, having a stator with a plurality of stator coils spaced at regular intervals, and a rotor mounted on a shaft and having a plurality of rotor coils spaced at regular intervals which may be different than the stator coil intervals;
means for providing electrical signals to the stator coils;
means for providing electrical signals to the rotor coils; and
a plurality of phase shift means, each of which is respectively coupled to one of said stator coils and one of said rotor coils, there being one stator coil and one rotor coil to which no phase shift means is coupled, to effect phase displacement of the signals applied to each coil with respect to the signal applied to the adjacent coils.

Abstract
A control system regulates operation of an electrical motor having multiple stator and rotor coils by regulating the phase displacement (1) between the rotor and stator energizing signals, (2) between the signals passed to the individual rotor coils, and (3) between the signals passed to the individual stator coils. A recorder coupled to the lines over which the phase-regulating signals are supplied to the rotor and stator coils can record these signals for later application to the motor to repeat the initial movement. Additionally displacement of the motor shaft produces signals which can be recorded for later duplication of the original shaft displacement. The phase-regulating signals for the rotor and stator coils can be supplied from a variable frequency oscillator, or a data processor, or any other suitable source.
