A Kalman Filter-Based Automatic Rotor Dynamic Balancing Scheme for Electric Motor Mass Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

When manufacturing electric motors, the armature must be carefully balanced before the motor is assembled to ensure that the motor remains within specified vibration limits when in operation. This study develops a novel scheme for the automatic balancing of motor armatures. In the proposed scheme, a Kalman filter is employed to make the milling system adaptive to the wear conditions. The balancing scheme is validated by performing a series of experiments using automobile starting motor armatures.
