Abstract
Abstract The disclosure embodies an electrical system for a bidirectional step servomotor to control the dissipation of counter torque developed by the deenergization of each rotor coil. The amplitude of the induced voltage generated when each rotor coil is deenergized is electrically controlled by a selected one of a plurality of voltage regulators. Each voltage regulator has a different regulating voltage. The larger the amplitude of the induced voltage, the faster the dissipation time of the counter torque, therefore, the higher the angular velocity of the rotor.
