Souped-up servoamps

Field-oriented control boosts servomotor torque and delivers a flatter torque-speed curve. Accelus amplifiers provide up to ±18-A peak current for rapid motor acceleration and ±6-A continuous current. The amplifiers work with analog and digital commands from most system controllers including ±10-V PWM and can run in torque, position, or velocity modes. Copley's Motion Explorer CME2 software contains algorithms for autotuning the current loop and autophasing the motor. The autophase algorithm for brushless motors ensures correct connections and polarities for motor drive power, encoder signals, and Hall sensor data. The motor rotating magnetic field exerts maximum torque on the permanent magnet rotor when the rotor magnetic field and the stator rotating magnetic field are 90° apart. Field-oriented control maximizes motor torque by preserving this 90° displacement at all shaft speeds. The Accelus servoamp uses a dedicated current loop with the amplifier functioning as the current source for tight control of U, V, and W coil currents. There is a critical relationship in brushless

Products & Services
AC Servomotors
AC servomotors are responsive, high-acceleration motors typically constructed as permanent magnet synchronous motors.
DC Motors
DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors.
Brushless Motors
Brushless motors are synchronous electric motors that have a magnetically (AC induction) or electronically (DC) controlled commutation system instead of a brush-based mechanical commutation system.
