The Digital Variable Reluctance Smart Motor from DVR Technology Developments, Inc. (St. Petersburg, FL) overcomes traditional motor problems, such as cumbersome control, relatively high torque ripple, mechanical vibrations and acoustic noise.
The DVR Smart Motor has an internal micro-processor with sensors that constantly monitor the motor and environmental conditions to adjust speed and power, and tell the operator when it needs attention or maintenance.
This “controller intelligence” also makes it energy efficient, providing up to a 50 percent power savings over conventional AC and DC motors, and as a direct drive motor it provides up to 20 percent more power. As a switch reluctance motor, it has a simple construction – no brushes, or electrical connections to moving parts, and no current flow in the rotor, meaning less wear and a longer life than an AC or DC motor.
