In an electric motor, a magnetic bearing generates an electromagnetic force between multiple permanent magnets and a coil and rotatably supports an other side of a rotation shaft in an axis line direction. The rotation shaft is configured to be capable of being inclined with a rotation center line using a bearing side of the rotation shaft as a fulcrum. An electronic control device controls a current that flows to the coil such that an axis line of the rotation shaft approaches the rotation center line due to a supporting force which is the electromagnetic force between the multiple permanent magnets and the coil. Accordingly, the rotation shaft is rotatably supported to be freely rotatable by a magnetic bearing and the bearing.

A motor includes a rotating portion including a shaft and a rotor, and a stationary portion including a stator and a magnetic sensor.

The disclosure describes techniques to filter unwanted noise from feedback signals of an electrical machine. An electrical machine may receive AC power from an inverter and circuitry in the inverter may cause noise on the AC power signals to the electrical machine. The noise may couple to sensors for the electrical machine and cause noise in the sensor output signals. The sensor output signals may provide feedback for a closed loop control system for the electrical machine and noise may impact the closed loop operation. Also, the noise in the feedback signals may cause electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, either by direct radiated emissions or by coupling to other circuits in the vehicle wiring harness as the feedback signals travel from the electrical machine. The techniques of this disclosure may include filter circuitry located near or inside the electrical machine that filters out the unwanted noise in the feedback signals.

A system is provided with a magnetic field sensor being positioned in a magnetic field of a magnet that is coupled to a rotatable driving shaft. The magnetic field sensor is configured to sense a rotation of the magnetic field in response to a rotation of the rotatable driving shaft, and generate an angle sensor signal based on an orientation angle of the magnetic field. The angle sensor signal includes angular values that represent an absolute orientation angle of the rotatable driving shaft. The system includes a memory storing a mapping of values of a patterned signal to the angular values, electronic circuitry configured to generate, based on the angular values and the stored mapping, the patterned signal, and a signal generator circuit configured to generate a signal representing the absolute orientation angle of the rotatable driving shaft based on the angle sensor signal.
