Abstract

See full text

Apparatus are provided for motor control systems and related medical devices. In one embodiment, a control system includes a motor having a rotor, a sensor to obtain a measured displacement that is influenced by rotation of the rotor, and a control module coupled to the sensor. The control module adjusts a duty cycle for a modulated voltage applied to the motor in response to a difference between an expected displacement and the measured displacement. The expected displacement is influenced by or otherwise corresponds to a commanded rotation of the rotor.
