Characteristics Analysis of the Motions of the Two-Degree-of-Freedom Direct Drive Induction Motor

The 2-degree-of-freedom direct drive induction motor (2DoFDDIM) is capable of implementing rotary linear or helical motion, which has the definite advantages of integrated structure, high material utilization, and so on. In this paper, the characteristics analysis of the three kinds of motions is presented. The air-gap magnetic field distributions and mechanical characteristics of the 2DoFDDIM with three motions are derived respectively. The...
