Ironless Motors Manual

Ironless linear motor manual
[ Introduction ]
A linear motor system is a part of a specific machine. Tecnotions Ironless linear motors are components that can be combined
with numerous application devices. This manual is intended for technicians who want to construct a machine that includes a
linear motor system.
It gives insight in the basic components of a Tecnotion ironless linear motor and additional components to complete the whole
motion system. The manual further informs about important design and installation aspects of the linear motors. The settings
required before starting up are discussed.
In the appendix the important dimensions for designing the construction that will hold the linear motor can be found. Finally,
the glossary, starting on page 36, gives insight in the definition of all specifications of a Tecnotion linear motor.
When installing a linear motor system one should be familiar with some important safety remarks. In the first chapter these

remarks are made. Please, read them carefully.

2. [ Motor COMPONENTS ]
An ironless linear motor of Tecnotion is not a system on itself. It contains
several components, such as a coil unit and magnet yokes. The components should be build within a total machine concept or a working unit.
The size and the shape of the mounting frame, the design of the slide, the
type bearings or the kind of dampers depend of the required application.
For instance the mounting frame and the slide should be designed in such
2.1 Basic components

The basic Linear Motor components supplied by Tecnotion are:
The coil unit (the N and S version differing in voltage and current requirements)
The magnet yoke (in different lengths, varying in outer dimensions
and mounting)
a way that a correct air gap between coil unit and magnet yokes will be
obtained.
Tecnotion provides standard and special components which are suitable
for numerous linear motor applications. These components can easily be
applied in your system.

that it is not possible to obtain a temperate signal.

4.3 Testing
Before handing over the control of the linear motor to the closed loop
feedback controllers, it is wise to perform some tests. Most important issue
for testing are the end switches.
other application parameters.

The speed loop is often the limiting factor of the servo performance,
because it is sensitive for all kinds of oscillations, noise and (filter) delays.
You should spend some time to get this loop proper, before optimizing the
Before testing, make sure that the electrical and mechanical

Vary the filter time on the feedback speed signal. Balance noise against

position. Simultaneously check whether the signal is detected by the

amplifier.
The position loop can only be tuned with a correct speed loop.
4.4 Starting up
Generally spoken, build it up in small steps. Dont climb the stairs with 2 or
3 steps in one time.
Start the tuning with only the speed loop, initially with very low speeds.
Then make the step to position control, but still with limited speeds.
Increase maximum speed only if everything operates properly and only
when you are in the right configuration. Speed limits save the mechanics.
4.5 Optimization of control settings

Generally, current loop settings are not very critical for the motor
performance and mostly there is a wide band of settings that will do. The

For Iron core motors the peak force is the force generated by the motor just beyond the saturation point of the Motor Force Constant.
The actual value of the Motor Force Constant is 14% less then the linear value. The coils will heat up with 6C/s.
Iron less motors lack a saturation point in the Motor Force Constant. The peak force is determined by the tolerated material expansion
due to an increased temperature of the coil. For Iron core motors this increase is at 20C/s.
