Abstract
Description
[0001] This International Disclosure is based on and claims priority to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 461,170, filed July 31, 2006, entitled "Overloade Prevention Device for Permanent MagnetDC Motors," the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference . technical field
[0002] The present invention relates to a method, system and apparatus for preventing overload conditions on electric motors, in particular permanent magnet DC motors as used in linear actuators or rotary actuators. Background technique
[0003] Traditionally, where electric motors are employed, the current is monitored in some way to prevent overloading. This can be accomplished with a thermally activated switch commonly known as a thermal protector. The device requires the overload condition to last for a certain period of time to heat the thermal element, from seconds to minutes depending on the severity of the overload. Then, the device needs a period of time to cool down after ...
