Abstract

Abstract A device for controlling the rotation of a rotary shaft driven by a DC motor so that the rotary shaft can rotate with a rotational phase which is in synchronism with the phase of a predetermined signal. The device is provided with a speed regulator so that the motor can drive the rotary shaft at approximately the number of revolutions corresponding to the oscillation frequency of the predetermined signal, and a signal representative of the phase difference is applied to the speed regulator so as to positively and steadily drive the motor in phasic synchronism and eliminate the hunting while and after the motor is pulled in.
