Safety notes 12/2001 BECKHOFF

Safety Notes
l Only properly qualified personnel are permitted to perform such tasks as transport,
assembly, commissioning and maintenance. Properly qualified personnel are
persons who are familiar with the transport, assembly, installation, commissioning
and operation of motors, and who have the appropriate qualifications for their jobs.
The qualified personnel must know and observe the following standards and
regulations:
IEC 364 resp. CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100
IEC-report 664 or DIN VDE 0110
national regulations for safety and accident prevention or BGV A2

l Read the available documentation before assembly and commissioning. Incorrect

handling of the motors can result in injury and damage to persons and machinery.
Keep strictly to the technical data and the information on the connection
requirements (nameplate and documentation).

l It is vital that you ensure that the motor housing is safely earthed to the
PE(protective earth) busbar in the switch cabinet. Electrical safety is impossible
without a low-resistance earth connection.

l Do not unplug any connectors during operation. This creates the danger of death,
severe injury, or extensive material damage.

l Power connections may be live even when the motor is not rotating. Never
disconnect the power connections of the motor while the equipment is energised.
This can cause flashovers with resulting injuries to persons and damage to the
contacts.

l After disconnecting the servoamplifier from the supply voltage, wait at least five
minutes before touching any components which are normally live (e.g. contacts,
screw connections) or opening any connections.
The capacitors in the servoamplifier can still carry a dangerous voltage up to five
minutes after switching off the supply voltages. To be quite safe, measure the
DC-link voltage and wait until the voltage has fallen below 40V.

l The surfaces of the motors can be very hot in operation, according to their
protection category. The surface temperature can reach 100°C. Measure the
temperature, and wait until the motor has cooled down below 40°C before touching
it.

BECKHOFF 12/2001 Important notes

Important Notes

l Servomotors are precision equipment. The flange and shaft are especially
vulnerable during storage and assembly — so avoid brute force. Precision requires
delicacy. It is important to use the locking thread which is provided to tighten up
couplings, gear wheels or pulley wheels and warm up the drive components, where
possible. Blows or the use of force will lead to damage to the bearings and the
shaft.

l Wherever possible, use only backlash-free, frictionally-locking collets or couplings,

e.g. from the manufacturers Baumann & Cie, Gerwah, Jacob, KTR or Ringspann.
Ensure correct alignment of the couplings. A displacement will cause unacceptable
vibration and the destruction of the bearings and the coupling.

l For toothed belts, it is vital to observe the permissible radial forces. An excessive
radial load on the shaft will significantly shorten the life of the motor.

l Avoid axial loads on the motor shaft, as far as possible. Axial loading significantly
shortens the life of the motor.

l In all cases, do not create a mechanically constrained motor shaft mounting by

using a rigid coupling with additional external bearings (e.g. in a gearbox).

l For mounting style V3 (shaft end upwards), make sure that no liquid can enter the
upper bearing.

l Take note of the no. of motor poles (6-pole) and the no. of resolver poles (2-pole),
and ensure that the correct setting is made in the servoamplifier which is used. An
incorrect setting can lead to the destruction of the motor, especially with small
motors.

version). Among other things, you find information about:
l Description of the Motors, Technical Data Chapter I
l Installation, Commissioning of the motors Chapter II
l Dimensions, wiring and characteristics Chapter III
l Notes on Transport, Storage, Maintenance, Disposal Chapter IV

This Manual is intended for the use of qualified staff with professional knowledge
of electrical and mechanical engineering.

observe the entire system documentation, consisting of:
— Installation and commissioning instructions for the servoamplifier
— Installation and commissioning instructions for any CONNECT module or expansion
— card which is connected
— Operating manual for the Operator Software of the servoamplifier
— Technical description of the AM227..297 series of motors

I.2 Prescribed usage

The AM227..297 series of synchronous servomotors is designed especially for drives for
industrial robots, machine tools, textile and packing machinery and similar with high
requirements for dynamics.
The user is only permitted to operate the motors under the ambient conditions which are
defined in this documentation.
The AM227..297 series of motors is exclusively intended to be driven by servoamplifiers
from the AX2000 series under speed and / or torque control.
The motors are installed as components in electrical apparatus or machines and can only
be commissioned and put into operation as integral components of such apparatus or
machines.
The motors must never be connected directly to the mains supply.
The thermal contact which is integrated in the motor windings must be observed and
evaluated.
The conformity of the servo-system to the standards mentioned in the manufacturers
declaration on page 6 is only guaranteed when the components (servoamplifier, motor,
leads etc.) that are used have been supplied by us.

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).

BECKHOFF 12/2001 - E.4.929.4/9 General

I.5 Standard features

I.5.1 Style

The basic style for the AM227..297 synchronous motors is style IM B5 according to
DIN42950. The permitted mounting positions may be read from the technical data of the
motor series.

I.5.2 Shaft end, A-side

Power transmission is made through the cylindrical shaft end A (fit k6) to DIN 748, with a
locking thread (except AM227) but without a fitted-keyway.
If the motors drive via pinions or toothed belts, then high radial forces will occur. The per-
missible values at the end of the shaft may be read from the diagram in chapter III.3. The
maximum values at rated speed you will find at the technical data. Power take-off from
the middle of the free end of the shaft allows a 10% increase in F R.
The curves are based on a bearing life of 20.000 operating hours.
The axial force FA must not exceed F R/3.
Double-coned collets have proved to be ideal zero-backlash coupling devices, combined,
if required, with metal bellows couplings.

I.5.3 Flange

Flange dimensions to IEC standard, fit j6, accuracy according to DIN 42955.
Tolerance class: R

I.5.4 Protection class

Standard version IP65

Standard shaft bushing IP64
Shaft bushing with shaft-sealing ring (Option -J-) IP65

I.5.5 Protective device

The standard version of each motor is fitted with a thermostat (electrically isolated,
normally closed). You will find the switching point at the technical data. The thermostat
does not provide any protection against short, heavy overloading. Provided that our pre-
assembled resolver cable is used, the thermostat contact is integrated into the monitoring
system of the digital servoamplifier AX2000.
The flange temperature must not exceed 65°C in rated operation.

General 12/2001 - A.4.031.1/35 BECKHOFF

I.5.6 Insulation material class

The motors come up to insulation material class F according to DIN 57530.

I.5.7 Vibration class

The motors are made to vibration class N according to DIN ISO 2373.

I.5.8 Connection method

The motors are fitted with rectangular connectors for power supply and resolver signals.
The mating connectors are not part of the delivery package. We can supply preassem-
bled resolver and power leads (Þ II.2.1).

I.5.9 Feedback unit

The motors are equipped with two-pole hollow-shaft resolvers as standard. As an option,
the motors are available with built in single- (ECNxx13) or multiturn (EQNxx25)
EnDat-encoders.
Type designation singleturn: AM2xxx-xxxx-S3-1313 (AM227 with S3-1113)
Type designation multiturn: AM2xxx-xxxx-S3-1325 (AM227 with S3-1125)
The motor length changes when an encoder is mounted. Retrofitting is not possible.

I.5.10 Holding brake

The motors are optionally available with a holding brake.

Type designation: AM2xxx-0001
A permanent magnet brake (24V DC) is integrated into the G-motors. When this brake is
de-energized it blocks the rotor. The holding brakes are designed as standstill brakes
and are not suited for repeated operational braking. If the brake is released then the rotor
can be moved without a remanent torque, the operation is free from backlash! The motor
length increases when a holding brake is mounted.
The holding brake can be controlled directly by AX2000-servoamplifier (no personal
safety !), the winding is suppressed in the servoamplifier — additional circuitry is not
required.
If the holding brake is not controlled directly by the servoamplifier, an additional wiring
(e.g. varistor) is required. Consult our applications department beforehand.
A personal safe operation of the holding brake requires an additional contact (normally
opened) in the braking circuit and an anti-surge-device (e.g. Varistor) for the brake.

I.6 Options

-09- Special flanges and shafts are possible, we invite inquiries.

-J- Radial shaft-sealing rings:
A radial shaft-sealing ring can be supplied at extra charge to seal against oil mist
and oil spray. This increases the protection rating of the shaft bushing to IP65. The
sealing ring is not suitable for dry running. When a holding brake is built in, the
motor length increases by option -J- for 10mm.
-V- Vertical mounting sockets for resolver and power connections.
-C- Cable exit with PG-glands.
-K- Mounting flange for Stöber bevel gear
-2K- Special varnish with 2-component enamel.
-426- Encoder adaptor for ROD426/ROQ425 with coupling and eccentric washers.

I.7 Selection criteria

The three-phase servomotors are designed to operate with AX2000 servoamplifiers.

Together, both units form a closed speed or torque control loop.
The most important selection criteria are:
— Standstill torque M0 [Nm]
— Rated speed nn [min -1]
— Moment of inertia of motor and load J [kgcm²]
— Effective torque (calculated) Mrms [Nm]
When calculating the motors and servoamplifiers which are required, take account of the
static load and the dynamic load (acceleration/braking). Collected formulae and examples

I.8 Technical data

I.8.1 Definitions

Standstill torque M0 [Nm]

The standstill torque can be maintained indefinitely at a speed n=0 min -1 and rated
ambient conditions.
Rated torque Mn [Nm]
The rated torque is produced when the motor is drawing the rated current at the rated
speed. The rated torque can be produced indefinitely at the rated speed in continuous
operation (S1).
Standstill current I0rms [A]
The standstill current is the effective sinusoidal current which the motor draws during
standstill to produce the standstill torque.
Rated current I nrms [A]
The rated current is the effective sinusoidal current which the motor draws at the rated
speed in order to produce the rated torque.
Peak current (pulse current) I0max [A]
The peak current (effective sinusoidal value) should not exceed 4-times the rated current.
The actual value is determined by the peak current of the servoamplifier which is used.
Torque constant KTrms [Nm/A]
The torque constant defines how much torque in Nm is produced by the motor with 1A
r.m.s. current. The relationship is M=I x K T
Voltage constant K Erms [V/1000min-1 ]
The voltage constant defines the induced motor EMF, as an effective sinusoidal value
between two terminals, per 1000 rpm
Rotor moment of inertia J [kgcm²]
The constant J is a measure of the acceleration capability of the motor. For instance, at I0
the acceleration time tb from 0 to 3000 rpm is given as:
3000 ´ 2p m2
t b [s] = x ´J with M0 in Nm and J in kgcm²
M 0 ´ 60s 10 xcm 2
4

Thermal time constant tth [min]

The constant tth defines the time for the cold motor, under a load of I0, to heat up to an
overtemperature of 0.63 x 105 Kelvin. This temperature rise happens in a much shorter
time when the motor is loaded with the rated current.
Release delay time t BRH [ms] / Application delay time tBRL [ms] of the brake
These constants define the response times of the holding brake when operated with the
rated voltage from the AX2000 servoamplifier.

II Installation / Commissioning

II.1 Important notes

l Check that the servoamplifier and motor match each other. Compare the rated volt-
age and rated current of the unit. Carry out the wiring according to the wiring
diagram in the Installation and Commissioning Instructions for the servoamplifier.
The connections to the motor are shown on page 23 Notes on the connection
methods can be found on page 18.
l Ensure that there is proper earthing of the servoamplifier and the motor.
l Route the power and control cables as separately as possible from one another
(separation > 20 cm). This will improve the immunity of the system to electromag-
netic interference.
If a motor power cable is used which includes integral brake control leads, then
these brake control leads must be shielded. The shielding must be connected at
both ends (see under Installation Instructions for the servoamplifier).
l Install all cables carrying a heavy current with an adequate cross-section, as per
EN 60204. The recommended cross-section can be found in the Technical data.

Caution!
If a servoamplifier of the series AX2000 is used and the motor cable exceeds
25m, a boxed choke (type 3YL-20, manufactured by BECKHOFF) and motor
leads with the following diameters must be used:

Servoamplifier choke box Max. cable diameter

AX2001...06 3YL-20 4 x 1mm²
AX2010 3YL-20 4 x 1,5mm²
AX2020 3YL-20 4 x 2,5 mm²

l Connect up all shielding via a wide surface-area contact (low impedance) and
metallized connector housings or EMC-PG glands.
l Check the compliance to the permitted radial and axial forces FR and FA .
When you use a toothed belt drive, the minimal permitted diameter of the pinion
e.g. follows from the equation: d min ³ M 0 ´ 2.
FR

l Ensure that there is adequate heat transfer in the surroundings and the motor
flange, so that the maximum permissible flange temperature is not exceeded in S1
operation.

Caution!
Never undo the electrical connections to the motor while it is energised. A
dangerous voltage, resulting from residual charge, can be still present on the
capacitors up to 300 seconds after switch-off of the mains supply.
Measure the DC-link voltage and wait until it has fallen below 40V.
Even when the motor is not rotating, control and power leads may be live.

II.2 Assembly / Wiring

Only qualified staff with knowledge of mechanical engineering are permitted to

assemble the motor.
Only staff qualified and trained in electrical engineering are allowed to wire up the
motor.
The procedure is described as an example. A different method may be appropriate or
necessary, depending on the application of the equipment.

Warning!

Protect the motor from unacceptable stresses.

Take care, especially during transport and handling, that components are not bent
and that insulation clearances are not altered.

Always make sure that the motors are de-energized during assembly and wiring,
i.e. No voltage may be switched on for any piece of equipment which is to be
connected.

Ensure that the switch cabinet remains turned off (barrier, warning signs etc.).
The individual voltages will only be turned on again during commissioning

Note!

The ground symbol X , which you will find in the wiring diagrams, indicates that
you must provide an electrical connection, with as large a surface area as possible,
between the unit indicated and the mounting plate in the switch cabinet. This con-
nection is to suppress HF interference and must not be confused with the PE (pro-
tective earth) symbol (protective measure to EN 60204).

To wire up the motor, use the wiring diagrams in the Installation and Commis-
sioning Instructions of the servoamplifier which is used.

II.3 Commissioning

The procedure for commissioning is described as an example. A different method may be

appropriate or necessary, depending on the application of the equipment.
Only specialist personnel with extensive knowledge in the areas of electrical engineering /
drive technology are allowed to commission the drive unit of servoamplifier and motor.

Caution!

Check that all live connection points are safe against accidental contact. Deadly
voltages can occur, up to 900V.

Never undo the electrical connections to the motor when it is live. The residual
charge in the capacitors of the servoamplifier can produce dangerous voltages up
to 300 seconds after the mains supply has been switched off.

The surface temperature of the motor can reach 100°C in operation.

Check (measure) the temperature of the motor. Wait until the motor has cooled
down below 40°C before touching it.

Make sure that, even if the drive starts to move unintentionally, no danger can
result for personnel or machinery.

l Check the assembly and orientation of the motor.

l Check the drive components (clutch, gear unit, belt pulley) for the correct seating
and setting (observe the permissible radial and axial forces).
l Check the wiring and connections to the motor and the servoamplifier.
Check that the earthing is correct.
l Test the function of the holding brake, if used.
(apply 24V, the brake must be released).
l Check whether the rotor of the motor revolves freely
(release the brake, if necessary). Listen out for grinding noises.
l Check that all the required measures against accidental contact with live and
moving parts have been carried out.
l Carry out any further tests which are specifically required for your system.
l Now commission the drive according to the commissioning instructions for the
servo amplifier.
l In multi-axis systems, individually commission each drive unit
(servoamplifier and motor).

IV.2 Fault-finding

The following table is to be seen as a “First Aid” box. There can be a large number of dif-
ferent reasons for a fault, depending on the particular conditions in your system. The fault
causes described below are mostly those which directly influence the motor. Peculiarities
which show up in the control loop behaviour can usually be traced back to an error in the
parameterization of the servoamplifier. The documentation for the servoamplifier and the
operator software provides information on these matters.
For multi-axis systems there may be further hidden reasons for faults.
Our applications department can give you further help with your problems.

Measures to remove the cause of
