AC Servo principle
What is a Servo?A servo is a device which controls the angle of a piece of machinery. A motor attached to the servo controls a rotating shaft which changes the angle of the shaft. Servo originates from Latin
Servus. (English as
Slave)
The function of a
Slave is to work with loyalty under his lord?s orders.
Servo system can be briefly classified into following parts:
1.Order part?Movement instruction signal output device.
2.Drive part?A device that receives the output signal from the Order part and drives the execution machinery. ( e.g. servo motor)
3.Feedback part?A device that inspects execution machinery or load status.
4.Execution machinery: A device that receives the output signal from Drive part and generates rotation torque, position status etc.,
AC servo system control structureServo driver Internal structureServo motor could be classified as follows:Synchronized type: Applied with PM servo motor. Because of power generation effect when stops, it is easier to brake. (Rotator:
PM Stator: Windings)
Inductive type: The structure is like synchronized type servo motor. It has good torque performance at high speed. However, it is easier to generate heat. (Rotator & stator: windings)
DC type: DC servo motor. As carbon brush will generate powder while rotation, it is not suitable for locations with dust-free
requirement. It is mainly used for small capacity. (Rotator: windings; Stator: PM)
Synchronized AC servo motorCharacteristics:1.Maintenance free
2.Good environment adaptability
3.Good torque performance
4.Easier to brake
5.Smaller dimension, lighter weight
6.High efficiency
Shortcomings:1.AMP is more complicated than DC?s
2.Motor could only be driven with relevant power AMP.
3. PM is possible to demagnetize
Inductive servo motorCharacteristics:1.Maintenance free
2.Good environment adaptability
3.Good torque performance
Shortcomings:1.Low efficiency
2.AMP is more complicated than DC?s
3.No DB brake
4.Performance will be effected by temperature
5.Motor could only be driven with relevant power AMP.
DC servo motorCharacteristics:1.Driver structure is simple.
2.DB brake
3.Smaller in volume, low price.
4.High efficiency
Shortcomings:1.Carbon brush will generate powder.The refore, it cannot be used in locations with dust-free requirement.
2.Poor torque performance at high speed.
3. PM is possible to demagnetize
