日本电产(尼得科)推出搭载有铝笼的高效同步磁阻电机“SynRA” ―达到国际能效标准中最高能效等级IE5水平―

日本电产（尼得科）面向美国市场推出了将笼式感应电机的基本原理与同步磁阻电机结合而成的、搭载了铝笼的高效同步磁阻电机“Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor)”。

笼式感应电机为工业领域中常见的通用电机，这种电机的优点是接入商用电源即可起动且无需配置逆变器来控制转数，广泛应用于风扇和泵、空气压缩机、起重机、电梯等工业设备。此外，只要配置简单、价格低廉的V/F转换器*1即可满足变频式空调、家电产品等可变速的需求。因此，笼式感应电机被广泛用于定速、可变速的各种应用场景。而另一方面，由于笼式感应电机在结构上，转子和定子之间会产生被称为“滑差”的转速差（损失），因此与下文介绍的同步磁阻电机相比具有能效较低的缺点。
“SynRA”通过对转子进行特殊的磁阻设计，纳入笼式诱导电机的“笼子（cage）”结构，在设备起动时

日本电产与日本电产三协共同研发出搭载有位置检测技术“Zignear®”的AC伺服电机可支持 17bit分辨率、向工业机器人市场推广

日本电产与日本电产三协共同研发出了一款搭载有 “Zignear®”的AC伺服电机 (分辨率:17bit) ，“Zignear®”是一种也可适用于工业机器人的、可替代编码器的位置检测技术。
【本产品的特征】
■实现了与磁性编码器相同的部件个数、与光学编码器相同的位置检测精度及随动性。
■位置检测误差的最高精度机械角小于±0.02°*。
■可实现与传统17bit‐AC伺服电机相同的动作 (通过搭载用于驱动无人搬运车 (AGV) 的系统测试来证明) 。
■形状与传统的磁性编码器相同，方便置换。
■通过利用通用微型计算机，可支持光学编码器输出的ABZ相输出、磁性编码器中一般的串行通信、电压输出、PWM输出等多种输出形式。
■有望用于工业机器人、AGV等。

编码器是主要用于检测无刷直流电机旋转的传感器，是将电机调整到目标位置、消除旋转不均匀性等
