50 results about "Inertial mass" patented technology

Inertial mass is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration when a force is applied. It is determined by applying a force to an object and measuring the acceleration that results from that force. An object with small inertial mass will accelerate more than an object with large inertial mass when acted upon by the same force.

To enable a rotor to be pressed in an axial direction by a magnetic attraction force, and enable stable sensing to be performed while suppressing an increase in an inertia mass.SOLUTION: An axially central part of a ring magnet 43 is offset from an axially central part of a stator core 31 in a direction opposite to an abutting direction of an abutting member 44 against a first ball bearing 23. Therefore, by supplying a drive current to a coil 34 to drive an electric motor part 20, it is possible to generate a magnetic attraction force MF that attempts to move a rotor 40 to the other side in an axial direction. Due to an action of the magnetic attractive force MF, it is possible to prevent an axial position of the rotor 40 from fluttering and shifting, and consequently, it is possible to keep a separation distance between the ring magnet 43 and a total of three Hall elements Hv and Hw (only two are shown in Fig.9) in an axial direction of a rotating shaft 41 constant, and it is possible to perform stable sensing while suppressing an increase in inertia mass.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9
