Structural Features

  1. Frameless split dual-component structure: Independent stator winding assembly and independent permanent magnet rotor assembly, no integrated housing, bearing or end cover

  5. Ultra-thin stator lamination stack reduces iron loss torque ripple, low cogging torque design smooth low-speed rotation
  6. Vacuum epoxy impregnated stator winding eliminates winding vibration friction noise during high-frequency reciprocating rotation

Working Principle

  1. Three-phase alternating sine wave current input to stator distributed winding generates rotating alternating magnetic field
  2. High-energy neodymium iron boron permanent magnet rotor produces fixed polarity static magnetic field; stator rotating magnetic field and rotor permanent magnetic field generate electromagnetic torque to drive rotor mechanical rotation
  3. Closed-loop servo drive controls three-phase current amplitude and phase angle to adjust output torque, rotational velocity and rotor absolute position precisely
  4. Direct mechanical connection between rotor and equipment load eliminates intermediate transmission links (gearbox, timing belt, reducer), realize zero mechanical backlash transmission
  5. Low cogging torque electromagnetic design minimizes torque ripple under low-speed operation to ensure ultra-smooth precision positioning motion

Function Characteristics

  1. Frameless embedded mechanical integration design reduces overall equipment transmission system volume by 40% compared with housed servo motor plus reducer solution
  2. Zero-backlash direct drive transmission eliminates positioning error and elastic deformation caused by gear/reducer clearance
  3. Ultra-high torque density output provides large continuous torque at low rotational speed without mechanical reduction gearbox amplification
  4. Hollow center through-hole compatible with complex equipment internal pipeline, cable and transmission shaft layout requirements
  5. Low cogging torque electromagnetic design achieves stable rotation under <1rpm ultra-low speed without obvious velocity jitter

Applicable Industries

Collaborative robot joint drive modules, medical surgical rotary positioning platforms, semiconductor wafer rotary indexing stages, precision optical testing rotary equipment, aerospace miniature steering transmission mechanisms, automated optical inspection rotary tables, textile precision winding rotary spindles

Installation Requirements

  1. Separate stator and rotor assembly during mechanical embedding installation; strict control 0.2~0.4mm uniform air gap between stator inner circle and rotor outer circle, no eccentric offset allowed
  2. Stator outer circle fixed via reserved mounting screw holes inside mechanical housing, uniform torque screw fastening to avoid stator core deformation
  3. Rotor inner circle press-fit onto equipment transmission shaft with interference fit tolerance specified in sub-model datasheet; uniform press force applied to prevent permanent magnet cracking
  4. Motor three-phase winding lead wire minimum bending radius ≥8 times cable outer diameter to avoid enamel insulation layer fracture
  5. Install independent high-resolution absolute encoder or resolver at rotor non-output end for closed-loop position feedback signal collection
  6. Liquid cooling jacket mandatory for continuous torque output above 50% rated torque; cooling fluid temperature maintained within 20°C ~ 40°C

Usage Precautions

  1. Strictly avoid hard collision impact to rotor permanent magnet surface during installation; impact causes magnet chipping and demagnetization permanent performance degradation
  2. Forbid eccentric air gap between stator and rotor exceeding 0.5mm; uneven air gap generates unbalanced magnetic pull leading to severe mechanical vibration
  3. Do not operate winding temperature exceeding 155°C continuous state; over-temperature causes permanent magnet irreversible demagnetization and winding insulation breakdown
  4. Three-phase motor wiring must connect to matched Kollmorgen servo drive with vector control algorithm; direct connection to industrial AC mains causes instant winding burnout
  5. Conduct annual air gap eccentricity inspection and rotor permanent magnet surface anti-corrosion coating visual check
  6. Avoid continuous operation above maximum rated mechanical rotational speed; over-speed centrifugal force detaches permanent magnet from rotor hub
