servo gearhead
Servo gearheads provide mechanical advantage by multiplying engine torque while reducing the driven load’s reflected inertia
back again to the motor.
We offers the widest range of gear technologies providing optimal solutions considerably beyond the capabilities of other gearhead suppliers.
Have you any idea why we still use today gearboxes while servo motors becoming more powerful and more complex? The gearboxes are found in many situations in combination with a servo motor, for instance because they possess low backlash and so are able to deal with high torque. But nonetheless we did not give a remedy to the previous query: why! In this article we discuss the procedure of a servo drive and translate this through to the gearboxes.
Technically translated tis methods to follow or execute a command. A servo engine follows the (complex) task given to him.
For industrial applications, servo motors are used in which a drive-system needs to be accurate or highly dynamic. The opinions to the electric motor is done through a resolver (analogue sensor of rotation) or encoder (digital sensor of rotation). A servo motor is managed by a servo amplifier, possibly with a shaft controller.
The rotation frequency of the servo gearhead actuator is returned by the resolver or encoder. This is capable as well as the rotational quickness, also to look for the position of the rotor and the direction of rotation. The servo amplifier compares the arranged rotational frequency with the measured rotational frequency. At this point the servo amplifier can drive the actuator to the required values.
Interesting, AC Servo Motors have no significant disadvantages more! So, why would you use a gearbox?
This has the next reasons:
If you prefer a very low quickness, possibly in combination with an increased torque.
If you need high torque. (Actuators with high torque can be found, however they are exponentially more expensive compared to the smaller servomotors)
Inertia matching, to be able to prevent that the load determines the behaviour of the motor.
To be able to absorb the high radial or axial forces of the application.
If you want to go “around the corner” otherwise the servomotor sticks out the application. Gearboxes can be found in right-angled versions.
Baldor’s GBSM-series of low backlash, servo electric motor rated gearheads, attach easily and directly onto AC brushless servo motors to supply industrial motion control devices with torque multiplication and proper inertial matching. These gearheads are designed for servo applications needing precision, durability, and long trouble-free operation.
