Proportional rotary torquer
First Claim
1. A proportional rotary torquer comprising:
- a stator having plural permanent magnets; and
a rotor having a rotor core which plural salient poles are formed at, and one or more rotor coils are wound around;
wherein an electric current is supplied to the rotor coils, so that a relative angle position of the rotor and the stator is displaced;
wherein the permanent magnet has two circumferential end portions and one circumferential center portion, and the radial thickness of the circumferential end portion is from 90% to 95% of the radial thickness of the circumferential center portion;
wherein the distance from the radial outline of the center portion of the salient pole to the rotation center of the rotor core is not more than 99% of the distance from the radial outline of the circumferential end portion of the salient pole to the rotation center of the rotor core; and
wherein the angle between the line connecting one of the circumferential outlines of the salient pole and the rotation center of the rotor core and the line connecting the other circumferential outline of the same salient pole and the rotation center of the rotor core is not less than 100 degrees.

Abstract
Salient poles 3a formed at a rotor core 3 are structured such that their facing surfaces facing permanent magnets 1a and 1b are formed in the shapes of circular arcs of which the radii at the circumferential center portion and at the circumferential end portions are different from each other. The angle between the line connecting one of the circumferential outlines of one of the salient poles 3a and the rotation center of the rotor core 3 and the line connecting the other circumferential outline of the same salient pole 3a and the rotation center of the rotor core 3 is not less than 100 degrees. Permanent magnets 1a and 1b are structured such that the radial thickness B of each circumferential end portion is from 90% to 95% of the radial thickness A of each circumferential center portion, so as to have circular arc surfaces of which center positions are different from each other. As a result, by supplying an electric current to the rotor coils, a constant electromagnetic torque is available within a relative angular displacement range of more than 90 degrees of the rotor and the stator, and the magnitude of electromagnetic torque is in proportion to the magnitude of the exciting current. When the exciting current is supplied in the direction opposite to that of the above current, the direction of the electromagnetic torque is opposite.
