Precautions for using the servo motor

First, servo motor maintenance and maintenance

1. Although the servo motor has a high degree of protection, it can be used in places where dust, moisture or oil droplets are attacked, but it does not mean that it can be immersed in water. It should be placed in a relatively clean environment. in.

2. If the servo motor is connected to a reduction gear, the oil seal should be applied when using the servo motor to prevent the oil of the reduction gear from entering the servo motor.

3. Check the servo motor regularly to ensure there is no fatal damage on the outside.

4. Regularly check the fixed parts of the servo motor to ensure a firm connection.

5. Regularly check the servo motor output shaft to ensure smooth rotation.

6. Regularly check the encoder cable of the servo motor and the power connector of the servo motor to confirm that the connection is secure.

7. Regularly check whether the cooling fan of the servo motor is rotating normally.

8. Clean the dust and oil on the servo motor in time to ensure that the servo motor is in a normal state.

Second, protect the servo motor cable

1. Ensure that the cable is not subjected to moment or vertical load due to external bending forces or its own weight, especially at the cable exit or at the joint.

2. In the case of servo motor movement, the cable should be firmly fixed to a stationary part (relative to the motor), and it should be extended with an additional cable installed in the cable support so that bending stress can be minimized. .

3. The elbow radius of the cable is as large as possible.

4. Do not immerse the cable of the servo motor in oil or water.

Third, determine the shaft end load allowed by the servo motor

1. Ensure that the radial and axial loads applied to the servo motor shaft during installation and operation are controlled within the specified values ​​for each model.

2. Take extra care when installing a rigid coupling, especially excessive bending loads may cause damage or wear to the shaft ends and bearings.

3. It is best to use a flexible coupling so that the radial load is lower than the allowable value. This material is designed for high mechanical strength servo motors.

4. For the allowable axle load, please refer to the instruction manual.

Fourth, servo motor installation precautions

1. When installing/disassembling the coupling part to the shaft end of the servo motor, do not hit the shaft end directly with a hammer (if the hammer directly hits the shaft end, the encoder at the other end of the servo motor shaft will be knocked out).

2. Try to align the shaft end to the best condition (otherwise it may cause vibration or bearing damage).
