We offer EC Motors, both physical and Virtual Prototypes, which includes 3D printed slotless (Wide Airgap) BLDC motors, slotless permanent magnet BLDC motors, and traditional torque motors of the BLDC type with a complete range of electronic controls/drivers. Although, we now prefer to supply "apps" that embody Virtual Prototypes which allow modist tailoring of the design characteristcs for applications adjustments without expensive modification and retooling of physical machines. The Virtual Prototype represents a huge investment savings over machined physical devices.

Transverse Flux motors and generators are the object of considerable alternate energy research. One of the newest incarnations is an inside out version which only achieves approximately 50% of its potential and suffers complete demagnetization. Jackson Research has developed and constructed machines that overcome those deficiencies achieving efficiencies over 90%. These inside out machines are proprietary.

• Transverse Flux Machines

We use sensored drives exclusively to achieve continuous stall torque. And, it is the only means to achieve precision profiling. The computer on a chip and proprietary PID closed loop operation coupled with precision optical encoders or our proprietary resolver technology provides the ultimate in precision motion and positioning.

• Embedded Motion Controls
• PolyPhase Power Filters

Jackson Research encoder technologies are interchangeable devices with choices of pole counts and shaft hole sizes. They can be furnished in several grades of precision. All units are designed for harsh environments. Specialized permanent magnets provide stable accurate reliable operation over the entire temperature range. Simple encoder winding alignment during assembly is achieved by rotation of the encoder housing with the encoder magnet fixed to the shaft.

• Digital Electronic Commutation
• Solid State Synchros
• Solid State Resolvers

Features include:

• Phase Angle Resolution to +/- 0.01 Degrees
• Typical Bandwidths to 10KHz
• Interchangeable Housings
• Neutralized Flutter
• Thermally compensated
• Near and Far Field Shielding
• Submersible

These proprietary devices are fully solid state. No sine wave inputs are necessary. Demodulation is no longer required. All Synchro/Resolvers outputs are pure sine waves in real time. Any latency or phase delays are within the device resolution and are not measureable.

Moving a system from one steady position to another (point-to-point motion) following the fastest possible motion within an allowed maximum value for speed, acceleration, and jerk, will result in a third-order motion profile as illustrated in this image:

The motion profile consists of up to 7 segments defined by the following:

1. acceleration build-up, with maximum positive jerk
2. constant acceleration (zero jerk)
3. acceleration ramp-down, approaching the desired maximum velocity, with maximum negative jerk
4. constant speed (zero jerk, zero acceleration)
5. deceleration build-up, approaching the desired deceleration, with maximum negative jerk
6. constant deceleration (zero jerk)
7. deceleration ramp-down, approaching the desired position at zero velocity, with maximum positive jerk

If the initial and final positions are sufficiently close together, the maximum acceleration or maximum velocity may never be reached.
