1. Mounting sensor
The current of the synchronous motor is controlled according to the pole position of the magnet built
in the motor rotor. There are two method prepared in the spindle control software in order to get the
pole position.
The first method uses a reference signal of BZ sensor as zero position of the pole. Therefore, it is
necessary to fix the reference signal position of the BZ sensor to the zero pole position of the
synchronous motor. The following is the explanation about how to mount the BZ sensor on the
synchronous motor.
The second method doesn’t use the reference signal but use the temporary pole position that the
software can get at earlier stage in the first method.
PRM4008#6 chooses which method is available in spindle control software. In case of PRM4008#6=1,
skip the explanation of chapter 1.1 and 1.2. The method of a mounting sensor is to be based on the
specifications (B-65202A/02) of stated chapter 1.1.
1.1 BZ sensor
1.1 BZ sensor1.1 BZ sensor
1.1 BZ sensor
The BZ sensor consists of the mounting detector attached to the motor and the mounting ring (Ring
A for the feedback, Ring B for the reference signal) attached to the spindle shaft. If the inner
diameter of the ring doesn’t fit the outer diameter of the shaft, the sleeve is necessary.
The BZ sensor has to be installed on the rotating axis at the side of power leads, and the ring A &
the detector must face the motor. If the sensor is installed incorrectly, the motor cannot be controlled
normally.
And furthermore, refer to “FANUC BUILT-IN AC SPINDLE MOTOR α series DESCRIPTIONS (B-
65202EN/02)” about the BZ sensor, the measurements of the parts to install the BZ sensor, the install
position and the accuracy.

(1) Fix the detector so that the deviation between the mounting ring and the center of shaft is within
±0.02mm.
(2) Press Ring A and B into the sleeve or connect them by heat hardening with Ring A and B fitted
closely.

(3) Let the motor shaft free to rotate by a hand, not to lock.
(4) Connect the motor power line to DC supply as follows.
•Positive terminal of DC supply to U phase of motor
•Negative terminal of DC supply to V and W phase of motor together connected
(5) Pour about one third of the maximum motor current from U to V&W and stick the shaft to a position
in stall. In case of the easy moving by the little force of a hand, there is possibility of inaccurate
positioning due to the friction. If so, make the positioning accurate by means of increasing the
current to get rid of the influence.

(6) Adjust the sleeve position when the sleeve attached the detection ring is fitted by heat hardening
keeping Ring A place at the motor side.
Radial direction: Adjust to fit the key of Ring B to the center of the detector.

Thrust direction: Adjust the deviation between a half place in the thickness of the detection ring
(9.3mm) and the center of the detector within ±0.5mm. Furthermore keep the
