2. Hysteresis Motors
•Stator
–same as for induction
motor
•Rotor
Smooth cylinder

3. Principle of Operation
Stator Flux
establishes these
magnetic poles
Rotor poles
“induced” by Stator
Flux

4. Spin the stator poles
with the rotor blocked
Stator poles
moving CCW
Rotor poles follow
the rotating flux,
but lag behind by
angle δ
h

5. Spin the stator poles
with the rotor blocked
If the rotor is released, it will accelerate to synchronous speed

9. Hysteresis Motor at Synchronous Speed
No load and
negligible
rotational losses
Induced rotor
magnets remain
locked with the
rotating poles
produced by the
stator

10. Hysteresis Motor at Synchronous Speed
Apply a step
increase in shaft
load.
The rotor slows
down and the
induced rotor
magnets lag the
rotating poles of the
stator by an angle
δ
mag.
The rotor returns to
synchronous speed
at the new torque
angle.

If shaft load causes δ
mag>90°,
the rotor pulls out if
synchronism, the magnet torque
drops to zero, and the machine
develops hysteresis torque. This
torque is not sufficient to carry
the load.

12. Torque-Speed Characteristic
“Normal”
Operating
Range
Constant Hysteresis Torque allows the motor to
synchronize any load it can accelerate
