I.3
Design of the motors
Synchronous servomotors in the AM227..297 series are brushless DC motors for
demanding servo applications. When combined with our digital servoamplifiers they are
especially suited for positioning tasks in industrial robots, machine tools, transfer lines
etc. With high requirements for dynamics and stability.
The servomotors have permanent magnets in the rotor. The rare earth neodymium
-iron-boron magnetic material is an important factor in making it possible to drive these
motors in a highly dynamic fashion. A three-phase winding which is driven by the
servoamplifier is integrated into the stator. The motor does not have any brushes since
commutation is performed electronically by the servoamplifier.
The temperature of the winding is monitored by temperature sensors in the stator wind-
ings and is signalled via an electrically isolated contact (normally closed).
A resolver is built into the motors as standard feedback element. The servoamplifiers in
the AX2000 series evaluate the resolver (hence rotor) position and supply sinusoidal cur-
rents to the motors.
The motors can be delivered with or without a built-in holding brake. Retrofitting of the
brake is not possible.
The motors are enamelled in matt black (RAL 9005). This finish is not resistant against
solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene, nitro-thinners, or similar).
