Abstract
Disclosed is an AC electric motor with oscillating rotary output, a permanent magnet rotor having radially magnetized magnets, and feedback control of oscillation amplitude. Amplitude control is accomplished without a separate amplitude sensor by using an accurate model of the motor as a basis for calculation of amplitude from measurements of motor voltage and current. The motor has high efficiency, low inertia, and uses a relatively small volume of permanent magnet per unit power output.
