Abstract
The starting torque for hysteresis motors is discussed in terms of the rotational hysteresis torque of the permanent magnet rotors as measured with a dc torque magnetometer. The rotational hysteresis torque was found to agree within experimental error with the starting torque of a rotor suspended in a magnetic field rotating at 60 cps. The rotational hysteresis in tungsten steel was measured for as‐quenched and tempered samples. The rotational hysteresis had a peak value of 2.1×105 ergs/cm3 and decreased with tempering. The applied field at which the peak rotational hysteresis was found was not changed by tempering. The rotational hysteresis integral, a measure of the magnetization reversal mechanism, varied from 2.2 to 3.2, increasing as the coercive force decreased. The maximum anisotropy field in the material was found to be 6700 Oe.
