In a method of operating and controlling hysteresis motors energized by a three-phase power supply and individually monitored by an operating monitoring system, whereby the effective power output of the individual motors is determined and the three-phase voltage is changed if the effective power output deviates from a predetermined range, the hysteresis motors are first energized at an intermediate range voltage until they reach nominal speed and are then running at synchronous speed, the supply voltage is then increased to an upper range, where the remanent magnet pole strength is impressed on the armature and then reduced to a lower range for continuous operation of the motors, the power output of the individual motors is monitored and, if it drops below a threshold indicating a switch to asynchronous operation, the operating voltage is again increased to the intermediate range for renewed synchronization.

Method for operating and controlling hysteresis motors

A method and system for measuring the dynamical behavior of an elongate body which has a floating electrical potential and only forms a total capacitance with its environment and which has a longitudinal axis about which the body rotates, which method includes a contact-free capacitive measurement of changes in the position of the body transverse to the longitudinal axis by means of at least two measuring probes each disposed to form with the body a respective capacitor having a capacitance value corresponding to the distance between the probe and the body, the measurement being performed by: applying to each measuring probe a respective alternating current signal having a frequency selected such that the frequency of the signal applied to each probe differs from that applied to each other probe by at least a selected frequency difference value; deriving from each probe an output signal having an amplitude representative of the capacitance value of the capacitor formed by that probe with the body; and passing the output signal from each probe through a respective signal processing circuit having a lowpass characteristic with an upper limit frequency value which is less than the selected frequency difference value, which the signal processing circuits associated with all of the probes having the same upper limit frequency value.

A rotor for use with a hysteresis motor in combination with a centrifuge rotor having a hub. The motor has a stator with an axial length and the motor rotor has a region coextensive with the stator. The motor rotor includes a hollow cylindrical body made of a magnetizable material, having one end firmly connected to the hub, and having a wall with a first thickness in the region that is coextensive with the stator and a second thickness, smaller than the first thickness, which is outside of the region that is coextensive with the stator and which is in the region of the connection of the cylindrical body with the hub. The point of transition from the first thickness to the second thickness of the wall is a predetermined distance from the nearest point of contact of the hub with the cylindrical body so as to increase the magnetic resistance between the hub and the cylindrical body.

A method for optimizing the power input to a plurality of parallel connected hysteresis motors wherein a three phase alternating voltage source jointly supplies the motors with an adjustable operating voltage. The method includes measuring, during the operation of each motor, the phase angle difference between motor voltage and motor current and determining the power factor therefrom for each motor. The effective current value of each motor is measured during operation and is combined with the power factor to obtain the active current for each motor. An active current limit value at which each motor transitions from synchronous to asynchronous operation is measured once and stored for each motor prior to commencement of continuous synchronous operation. After the motors reach synchronous speed at rated voltage, the control voltage is adjusted to reduce the supply voltage to an optimum working point just above the voltage level at which a first one of the parallel connected motors begins to transition from synchronous to asynchronous operation. The active current of each motor is then compared with its associated limit value to determine whether it is operating synchronously or asynchronously. The control voltage of the voltage source is thereafter regulated for increasing the supply voltage to the rated voltage value when it is determined that one of the motors is operating asynchronously and for decreasing the supply voltage to the optimum working point when the motors are all determined to be operating synchronously.
