However, what issues should be considered when replacing the stepper motor in a product with a servo motor in a brushless motor driver?

A. To better ensure that the changes to the automatic control system are not significant, a digital display servo control system should be adopted, and the original single-pulse control method can still be used;

B. Because servo motors manufactured by Jinan brushless motor drivers all have a certain load capacity, when selecting a servo motor, experience suggests that the rated torque of the servo motor can be determined by referring to 1/3 of the output torque of the stepper motor used.

C. The rated transmission ratio of a servo motor is much higher than that of a stepper motor. In order to make better use of the characteristics of a servo motor, it is best to use a speed reduction device to allow the servo motor to operate at a speed close to its rated value. This also allows for the selection of a motor with lower output power to control costs.

1. Installation method

Unless otherwise specified, the motor should be mounted radially and horizontally on the test support frame as required by GB/T7345. The servo motor driver should be installed according to all normal operating procedures as required by the product-specific technical standards. The driver should be installed and tested in a manner that closely simulates its actual application location.

2. Ambient temperature of servo motor driver

(1) Application temperature: -10℃~ 40℃;

(2) Storage temperature: -25℃ to 65℃;

(3) Vibration/Impact: Vibration is 0.5G (4.8m/s 2 for Jinan brushless motor driver), and impact is 3g (19.6m/s 2).

(4) The relative humidity of the air in Jinan brushless motor driver: 5%~90%, with no condensation;

3. Natural Environment Standards

(1) Standard height-to-width ratio: Below 2000M altitude (above 2000M, the volume is reduced by 20% for every 100m increase in altitude);

(2) Construction: Wall-mounted, open structure;

(3) Cooling method: Over-temperature protection/forced air cooling:

(4) Work schedule: Continuous work schedule S1; Short-time work schedule S2, 30 min; Continuous periodic work schedule S6, 40%;

(5) Output power supply circuit control mode: three-phase/single-phase full-wave rectification, IGBT-PWM mode, sinusoidal waveform current control, driver frequency 15kHz/9kHz/4kHz;

Many customers mistakenly believe that servo motors and stepper motors are not much different and that their applications should be similar. This is not the case; there are significant differences, and the appropriate choice should be made based on the specific application. In fact, when the load on the terminal equipment fluctuates greatly, even in low-speed operation, a servo motor should be used. This is because, considering factors such as performance enhancement, energy saving, linearity improvement, and system reliability, using a more expensive servo motor actually increases the overall cost.
