Adjusting the timing does not affect the rotor asymmetry, end-bell deviation, or the hall-signal deviation.
  • End-bell Timing and Deviation: Shows the sensor timing for each phase (A, B, C) and their deviation from each other. Lower deviation indicates better sensor alignment.
  • Rotor Asymmetry: Measures the balance of the magnet's north and south poles. Lower values indicate better rotor manufacturing.
  • Hall Signal Deviation: Measures the consistency of the signal from each Hall sensor. A lower value is better.
When shimming the rotor, some will say that it is better to have the rotor centered in the stator for better performance. I have been thinking of doing this test for a while. Maybe it's time I did it.
Shimming the rotor as close to the sensor board as possible isn't always a good idea. You want the rotor's magnetic field centred in the stator.
