Patent ID: 8084976

Claim:
A motor control device performing vector control for a motor that drives a load whose load torque varies periodically, the motor control device comprising: a motor speed deriving portion estimating or detecting a motor speed; a speed controller producing a specified torque current value such that the motor speed is made to follow a specified motor speed value fed from outside; a resonance filter producing a corrected torque current value by receiving a control value that varies with variations in the load torque and emphasizing a periodic variation component of the control value; a torque current corrector producing a specified superimposed torque current value by superimposing the corrected torque current value on the specified torque current value; and an adjusting portion adjusting, based on the specified superimposed torque current value, a degree of emphasis placed on the variation component by the resonance filter, wherein the vector control is performed according to the specified superimposed torque current value.
