Abstract

Abstract Provided is a rotor structure by which slot ripple is reduced so that an a.c. synchronous servo motor can achieve a smooth rotation. A rotor structure is provided in which two rotor elements (30, 30') are juxtaposed and brought out of registration in a circular position by an angle (θ) corresponding to a half wave length of a slot ripple wave caused in a rotor having a prior structure, thereby each slot ripple wave caused by each rotor element (30, 30') is cancelled out by the other.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 317 words
A rotor structure of an a.c. synchronous servo motor, characterized in that a plurality of rotor elements are axially disposed along a central axis thereof at a first angular position and a second angular position, angularly offset from said first angular position, said angular offset being based on a slot ripple wave cycle caused during a rotation of said motor, such that said angular offset is an angle corresponding to a half wave length of said angular offset is an angle corresponding to a half wave length of said slot ripple wave, and wherein said rotor is constructed such that rotor element or elements disposed at said first angular position generate a first summed magnetic flux, and rotor element or elements disposed at said second angular position generate a second summed magnetic flux, wherein said first and second summed magnetic fluxes are equal to each other, to reduce said slot ripple; wherein aid rotor element or elements at said first angular position and said rotor element or elements at said second angular position are separated by at least one boundary channel plate made from a material which acts as an insulator against magnetic fields, for preventing interference from the magnetic fields produced by said rotor element or elements at said first and second angular positions respectively; and wherein all of said rotor elements are constructed of the same material having the same size and shape and wherein the number of said rotor element or elements at said first angular position is the same as the number of the rotor element or elements at said second angular position, said rotor elements comprising steel plates, each of said steel plates having a hole for inserting a bar member therein to connect each of said steel plates, said hole being displaced from a symmetrical line of said steel plate by an angle equal to one half of said angular offset.
