2.1 MOTOR SELECTION
motor should be selected according to the following items.
A
NOTE
For information related to the motor specifications,
also see Part I, "SPECIFICATIONS."
2.1.1 Required Data for Motor Selection
Load Inertia
The load inertia means the whole load on a motor. That is, the weight
of the movable objects including the weight of the motor itself. This
alue is always required for selecting a motor.
v
Required Maximum Torque
The required maximum Torque means the torque required for
implementing desired acceleration and maximum speed when the load
inertia described above is present. Make sure that the maximum torque
in the motor specifications is not less than the required maximum
torque. When checking the requirement, it is desirable to allow a
margin of about 10% by taking a load variation into account. And also,
if an axis has some heavy friction to rotate, deduct the friction torque
rom the motor maximum torque.
f
Root Mean Square Torque
The root mean square torque means the root mean value of the torque
required in one duty cycle. The root mean square torque must not be
greater than the rated continuous torque of the motor. If the root mean
square torque exceeds the rated continuous torque, the motor may
overheat. It is desirable to allow a margin of about 20% by taking a
oad variation into account.
l
The rated continuous torque of the motor varies depending on the type
of cooling condition used for the motor (no cooling or liquid cooling).
It also varies depending on the heat dissipation and other
characteristics of the machine. Be extremely careful of torque for
supporting frictional load and weight along a vertical axis because it
sometimes fluctuates largely. Even when the motor is at rest, it keeps
roducing torque to prevent drifting.
p
An example of calculation is shown below.
For explanation, a simple duty cycle as shown below is assumed.
According to the driving conditions, create a torque distribution chart
or one cycle. The torque distribution chart is made as follows:
