SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The following report describes the results of the work performed oncontract NAS 5-11481 for the development and manufacture of a low-speed iron-less armature torque motor (less electronics).
This contract involved the design and fabrication of a permanent mag-net field assembly, a wound, shell-type armature for three-phase operationwith the above permanent magnet assembly, Hall effect devices to provide angu-lar position signals proportional to the magnetic field, and structural elementsto integrate the magnet field assemblies into a testable device. Four ironlessarmature torque motors, four Hall device position sensor assemblies, and twotest fixtures were fabricated.
Because of the unique design of this torque motor, there are no break-
away, cogging, or magnetic friction torques. The electrical time constant isvery low. Static decentering forces are eliminated. Heat can be readily con-ducted away from the stationary winding assembly.
Due to the elimination of friction torque, this motor lends itself toapplications in precision position servos and momentum wheels. The electricaltime constant is approximately one-tenth of the time constant of the conventionaltorque motor thus making possible high speed operation. The elimination ofdecentering forces offers a tremendous advantage when mounting motors onelectromagnetic bearings.

The design was modified to provide for Hall effect devices external to
the armature assembly and for increased mechanical gaps between the arma-ture assembly and the rotor assembly. The position of the Hall device assem-
bly was made adjustable for optimizing the commutation angle. Hall devices
were mounted so as to provide a sinusoidal output. The zero crossover point
was to be used to provide commutation information. The final performancespecifications are shown in Table 2-2. The outline dimensions are shown in

TECHNICAL APPROACH
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ironless armature torque motor is similar in construction to aprinted circuit motor. However, the permanent magnet field rotates insteadof the printed circuit armature. The stator assembly contains the windingsand is attached to an aluminum mounting ring on one end. The stator is posi-tioned in a radial gap. The winding assembly, having no magnetic materials,effects the elimination of magnetic losses.
MAGNETIC DESIGN
The magnetic design for an ironless armature torque motor requiresa design that is capable of driving as much magnetic flux as possible across alarge airgap. In addition, a very accurately shaped magnetic field is neces-sary to obtain the desired generated voltage and sensor output waveforms (seeFigure 3-1 and Figure 3-2). A square wave magnetic field having a width of120 electrical degrees is desired. For meeting these requirements, a magnetmaterial having a very high coercive force and capable of high flux density wasrequired. Therefore, samarium cobalt permanent magnets, which have thehighest available energy product, were used. The properties of samariumcobalt are shown in Table 3-1. Samarium cobalt has the added advantages ofbeing both an extremely stable material, with practically no long-term varia-tion, and a highly oriented material, which minimizes leakage fields.
The next magnetic consideration was to determine the number of poles.A high number of poles requires tighter tolerances on magnet position, magnetpole span, coil position, and on the position of the Hall device sensors. How-ever, with fewer poles, the back iron for closing the magnetic circuits isthicker. This increases the weight and shortens the possible magnet length.The mean length of turn for the conductors is thereby increased, thus increasingthe resistance.
Four rectangular samarium cobalt permanent magnets, with the dimen-
sions 22.9 mm x 10.2 mm x 6.4 mm (0. 9 in. x 0.4 in. x 0. 25 in. ), were pur-chased from the Raytheon Company. The direction of magnetism was along the6.4 mm dimension. Also, two sample cylindrical samarium cobalt magnets,with the dimensions 12. 7 mm (0. 5 in. ) diameter by 5 mm (0. 2 in. ) length, wereobtained from the Electron Energy Corporation.

The rectangular magnets were assembled as shown in Figure 3-3. Theflux density in the airgap was measured with a Hall probe and gaussmeter. Theback iron for the magnet assembly was constructed so that both the airgap (G)and the magnet spacing (Y) could be varied. The airgap flux density was plottedfirst with magnets on one side of the airgap and then with magnets on both.

Using these two magnet configurations, the following conclusions weredrawn from data concerning the flux density magnitude and flux distribution:
1. The measured flux density in the airgaps at the center of themagnets with a 5 mm (0. 2 in. ) airgap was in agreement withcalculated values. However, due to leakage, the flux densitydecreased as the Hall probe was moved toward the magnetedges. This resulted in lower flux per pole than figured inpreliminary calculations.
2. Due to the leakage flux, the proposed square wave flux dis-tribution did not exist. The corners of the waveshape wererounded. With this flux waveshape, it was felt that accurateswitch points from the Hall device outputs would not be possible.However, Hall devices could still be used in the airgap to de-tect the zero crossover point and this information used forcommutation switching.

3. Evaluation of the magnet spacing indicated that the best generatedvoltage waveform occurred when the distance between the magnetswas equal to one-half the magnet width (120-degree pole span) asoriginally proposed.
4. The motor constant (oz-in. /amp/J-R ) versus airgap was calculatedfor the two configurations. An airgap of 5.85 mm (0.230 in.) gave themaximum motor constant for the configuration having magnets onboth sides of the airgap. An airgap of 5 mm (0. 200 in. ) wasfound to be optimum for the magnet configuration having magnetson only one side.
5. Using various numbers of poles, calculations were made to deter-mine the motor constant and weight for the two configurations (seeTable 3-2). The single magnet configuration was found to haveless weight for a given motor constant for fourteen or more poles.
6. The single magnet configuration was choosen for this design. Notonly is this configuration cheaper to manufacture, but also magnetcost is reduced due to the smaller number of magnets required.

In selecting the number of poles for the motor, the objective was toobtain the best generated waveform possible and meet the required weight ofone pound. The weight specification was interpreted to mean the weight of theiron, magnets, and wire only. On this basis, twelve poles, with a calculatedweight of 1. 05 pounds, were chosen.
Motor Design
Using the required motor dimensions and the airgap dimensions ob-tained from the previous studies, the final design was calculated.
OD = Outside diameter = 4. 25 in. max.ID = Inside diameter = Z. 25 in. max.M W = Axial length of magnet assembly = 0. 60 in.
g = Airgap = 0.200 in.Outerring ID = 4. 060 in.
The operating point of the magnets (Bm/Hm) was calculated first.
Bm = g m

1 = Airgap length = 0. 200 in. (5. 08 mm)
l m = Magnet length = 0. 250 in. (6. 35 mm)
From the magnet curve the induction at a Bm/Hm of 1. 31 is 4. 5 kilo-
gauss or 29 kilolines per square inch (see Figure 3-4).

The actual measured torque constant of the motors was 65 ounce-inch/ampere rather than 44. 8. The actual torque constant was higher forseveral reasons:
1. Since the edges of the magnets were not curved to conform to thecurvature of the airgap, the average airgap was less than 0. 200inch.

The actual measured resistance per phase for a motor wound with thiswinding was 24.4 ohms or 16.3 ohms for the delta.
ARMATURE DESIGN
The armature design consisted of a delta-wound winding and a mech-support for the winding. The desired generated voltage waveform wasin Figure 3-1.

Assuming that square wave flux distribution as shown in Figure 3-5can be obtained from the magnetic design, the armature can be wound with fullpitched coils having the conductors evenly distributed over the periphery of thearmature shell. Each phase is evenly distributed over 1/3 of a pole span.Therefore, the rotor can move 1/3 of a pole span (60 electrical degrees) withan equal number of conductors in the flux field. This would give a constantgenerated voltage for 60 electrical degrees. Figure 3-5 shows the air gap fluxwaveform and the relative position of the armature coils for three rotor posi-tions (through 180°E).
The generated voltage is given by E = 60 x 108 volts. As-60
suming a constant speed and the flux distribution shown, the generated voltagein each phase will be proportional to the number of conductors in the magneticfield at that position. The table below was developed to determine the conduc-tors and the polarity of the generated voltage in the conductors for the differentrotor positions. The numeral 1 in the table means that all of the conductors forthat side of the phase are in the field. A negative number means reversedpolarity.

The generated voltage E

Therefore, the generated voltage across phase B from position 1 toposition 2 is constant. The generated voltage decreases linearly from position2 to position 3. As phase B moves toward the center of the next pole, the gen-erated voltage builds up again but of opposite polarity.

However, the generated voltage waveform obtained was not trapezoidalas desired, but approximately sinusoidal. This waveform will result in highercommutation torque ripple. A sinusoidal rather than trapezoidal waveform wasobtained for the following reasons: 1) Due to leakage flux, the flux distributionin the airgap of the motor was trapezoidal close to the magnets but becamesinusoidal further away from them (toward the outer ring). Consequently, mostof the conductors were cutting a sinusoidal flux rather than the desired squarewave flux. 2) The coils for the winding assembly were wound on a rectangularcoil form. Because of the tension variation when winding on a rectangular coilform, the coil sides were not straight. As layers of wire built up, the coilsides became more contoured. Consequently, a conductor was not seeing a con-stant flux across the axial length of the motor, but was integrating the flux oversome area based on the curvature of the conductor. This condition could havebeen improved by extending the coil end turns well past the rotor axial lengthand by performing additional coil forming after the coils were wound. Thiswould require additional space for end turns and increase the armature resistance.
POSITION SENSORS
F. W. Bell thin film Hall-Pak generators had been tentatively selectedfor use as angular position sensors. However, after studying the flux distri-bution waveforms obtained from testing the sample magnets, it appeared thatthe Hall device waveform was going to be more sinusoidal than trapezoidal.Therefore, consideration was given to using the zero crossover point on thesensor waveform for switching. In order to have as steep a slope as possibleto use for switching, a high sensitivity Hall device was desirable. Therefore,the Siemens SV 110-II was choosen. Its characteristics are listed in Table 3-3.
When the first motor was built, it was found that the Hall devices werelocated close enough to the magnets so that the output waveform was trapezoidalas desired (see Figure 3-1). However, it was decided that larger mech-anical gaps were more desirable. Therefore, the Hall devices were moved outof the motor airgap so that the ID of the winding assembly could be increased.The Hall devices were then located 0. 045 inch from the side of the magnets andwere used to detect the side-leakage flux. The output voltage was approximatelysinusoidal and the output varied from Hall device to Hall device, from 45 mvaverage-to-peak to 150 my average-to-peak with 10 ma control current.

SECTION IV
FABRICATION
The rotor assembly consisted of a magnet assembly, an outer magneticring, and aluminum structural elements to connect the two members. The air-gap between the outer ring and the magnet assembly was 0. 508 centimeters(0. 200 inch).
The magnet assembly was made up of twelve (12) samarium cobaltpermanent magnets which were cemented onto the OD of an ingot iron ring. Slotswere put on the OD of the ring to position the magnets. In an attempt to squareup the flux distribution in the airgap, the magnets were left rectangular inshape rather than rounding the edges to conform to the curvature of the airgap.
The samarium cobalt magnets were purchased already magnetized.
Necessary care was taken in handling and assembling these magnets due to the
high magnetic pull and brittle nature of the magnets.
After the magnet assembly was placed on the aluminum support, theouter ring was cemented into place. A nonmagnetic shim had to be placed inthe airgap during assembly to prevent the outer ring from being pulled into themagnets.
The winding assembly was constructed by cementing individual coilsonto an epoxy-glass ring, connecting the coils, and potting the assembly. Analuminum mounting ring with terminals was provided on one end. After the
winding assembly was potted, the ID of the assembly was machined.
The coils were wound onto a rectangular coil form. The wire was
coated with a cement as it was wound so that the coil would retain its shapewhen removed from the coil form.
An engineering model was fabricated with the Hall devices in the air-
gap of the motor. Slots were placed in the epoxy-glass ring to locate the Hall
devices. Hall devices were assembled after the potting and final machining ofthe winding assembly. This design provided for the minimum radial clearanceof 0. 006 inch.
The configuration was revised to provide larger mechanical clearances.
Hall devices were mounted into an epoxy ring so that the OD of the ring would
4-1
pilot into the ID of the winding assembly mounting ring. The sensor ring as-sembly was mounted against the test fixture with three screws. The test fix-ture was slotted so that the position of the sensor assembly would be adjustablefor phasing the sensors with the winding for best commutation.
Hall devices were located nominally 0. 045 inch axially from the mag-net assembly and thus sensed the side leakage flux. The OD of the winding as-sembly was reduced from 4. 045 inches to 4. 025 inches by changing the wiresize of the winding from 29 gage to 30 gage. With the Hall devices removedfrom the ID of the winding assembly, the ID was increased to 3. 790 inches.
These changes required making both a new mold for the winding assem-bly and a mold for the sensor ring as well as modifying the test fixture.
The winding assembly was potted with Scotchcast Resin 251, which isa filled epoxy. It is a medium viscosity, rigid, class F (155°C) resin system.The resin was warmed in order to lower its viscosity for maximum impreg-nating ability. Nevertheless, voids still occurred and had to be filled.
The sensor ring was made of the same epoxy so as to be compatible.Each Hall device was cemented into a slot in the sensor ring and then coveredwith a conformal coating for protection. (The Hall devices were found to beextremely fragile. )

SECTION VI
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The ironless armature torque motor developed on NASA ContractNAS 5-11481 met or exceeded all specifications except for the generated volt-age waveform. It is recommended that further effort be made to investigatethe effect of coil shape on generated voltage waveform and to develop methodsof improving the flux distribution.
The ironless armature torque motor is recommended for use in appli-cations requiring low friction torques, low electrical time constants, or lackof decentering forces. High speed applications should be investigated.
Consideration should be given to making the outer magnetic ring,which is part of the rotor assembly, part of the stationary winding assembly.This would both reduce the overall weight due to the elimination of structuralelements and provide a mechanically stronger stator assembly while addingvery little magnetic friction.

SECTION VII
NEW TECHNOLOGY
Contractor by letter dated August 14, 1972 reported noinventions were made in the performance of work under thiscontract. Such report was made on DD Form 882 and copiesforwarded to the Contracting Officer, Mr. P. Videniers.There were no discoveries, improvements or innovations madein performance of this contract other than reported in Contractor'sFinal Project Report JA 700-0020 dated September 10, 1972. Thebasic concept of the ironless armature torquer as applied toBrushless DC Motors is new technology. The use of samarium
cobalt permanent magnets in the design of the ironless armaturetorquer is new technology in that this is one of the few motorapplications that can effectively use this magnet material.
