Limited Angle Torque Motors/Tachometers

Explanation of Size and Winding Parameters

  • Continuous Torque - The motor is capable of developing this torque on a continuous basis with no heat sinking from the stator mounting mechanics. The motor will reach 135C at room temperature (approximately 185 C at 71 C ambient) under these conditions. In actual applications, there is large heat sinking available from the stator mounting allowing higher continuous torque ratings. This rating is therefore very conservative.
  • Peak Torque - The motors can achieve these levels for short periods of time. The wire current handling capability and the magnetic saturation of the steel has all been considered in this rating.
  • Peak power - The Peak current squared times the motor resistance
    at 20C.
  • Km - Motor Constant - A figure of merit which characterizes the size of a motor with respect to the amount of torque vs amount of power available. It is mathematically the peak torque divided by the square root of peak power or it is the torque constant (Kt) divided by the square root of motor resistance (R).
  • Poles - The number of poles has been chosen with consideration towards peak torque and angle of regard.
  • Inertia - The moment of inertia about the axis of rotation. Multiply by
    0.00706 to convert to Kgm-m2.
  • Weight - The weight of the combined rotor and stator without leads.
  • Voltage Peak Torque - The nominal voltage required to generate the peak torque when the winding temperature is 20 C. It is nominally Peak current time R. Since the motor torque is proportional to current, as the motor heats the resistance increases causing the current to drop for a constant voltage source. This should be considered in designing the drive system.
  • Peak current - The current required to generate the Peak Torque of the motor. It is peak voltage divided by motor resistance at 20C.
  • Kt - Torque Constant - The amount of torque developed for a given
    current.
  • R - Motor resistance - The 20C resistance of each phase of the motor.
