Abstract
A rotation detector apparatus and a rotation control apparatus for the DC motor is disclosed wherein rotational operations of a rotor of the DC motor are controlled by detecting at least one of the rotational direction, the rotational speed, the cumulative rotation number, and the rotational position of the rotor. The pulsed output signal from at least one motor rotor rotation detector brush is processed by signal processing circuitry to regulate the at least one of the rotational direction, the rotational speed, the cumulative rotation number, and the rotational position of the rotor.
