Microradian motor shaft angle control

Subject:Microradian motor shaft angle control
Date:Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:29:28 -0500
I have an instrument project where I need to control the rotation of a
very small (~ 9 mm) motor very accurately--about 1-2 arc seconds RMS--at
about 200 RPM.

Actually I can relax that requirement slightly, because I really only
need to know what the shaft angle was at each of ~200k measurement
points per rev, so maybe a combination of good stabilization and even
better encoding would work.

Being an optics/electronics/physics guy more than a mechanical guy, I'd
like to ask you folks for advice. Where should I start? (My physics
personality suggests jewel bearings and an eddy-current drive, but I try
to keep him under control.)

Thanks

Phil Hobbs
