Improving Torque Data Signal with Digital Filtering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on improving the quality of torque data signals from a three-phase brushless motor. The user is experiencing noisy torque signals after applying a brake, which do not align well with the RPM readings. Suggestions include using digital filtering techniques, specifically a z-transform filter, to clean up the torque signal. The proposed filter formula aims to enhance the signal clarity and provide a more accurate representation of torque. Implementing this filtering approach could lead to better data visualization and analysis.

Hello,

I have a three phase brushless motor and was trying to measure its torque and speed using a torque sensor. The motor will first go to its maximum speed which is about 6000RPM, then I applied a brake to decrease its velocity. Here is what I get as a result of data acquisition :

The problem is that the torque signal looks kinda mess up. I wish to get a signal as nice as the RPM. Does anyone know how can this be done? Some kind of signal processing steps?

Please help me.

It seems that you are measuring the torque after the brake. The curve for the torque does not reflect the curve for the current.

If the data are sampled digitally, you can insert a digital filter ( z-transform ) like for example:

H(z) = 0.01z2 / ( ( z - 0.9 ) ( z - 0.9 ) ) = 0.01z2 / ( z2 - 1.8z + 0.81 )

( The amplification = 0.01 / ( 1 - 0.9 )2 = 1 )

You can put your already sampled data through such a filter and redraw the result.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
