    Ensure that the motor, and especially the "fingertip", is not subjected to direct high mechanical shock. Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual when mounting the motor. The EDGE & EDGE-4X motor is not user-serviceable. For any installation and mounting inquiries, please contact Nanomotion.

  • Page 11: Introduction

    2 Introduction The EDGE Motor The EDGE motor is the smallest industrial motor of its kind available in the marketplace today. Providing typical 0.4N stall force, maximum velocity of 200 mm/sec and unlimited linear or rotary motion, the EDGE motor offers extensive opportunities in applications that suit a wide range of industries.

  • Page 13: Motor Operation

    Driving Modes The EDGE & EDGE-4X motors can be driven by a custom NM ASIC driver, or alternatively by an XCD and XCD2 EDGE & EDGE-4X Driver-Controller (refer to section 1.2 for Reference Documentation). The drivers can drive the motor in two driving modes: •...
  • Page 14 Linear Driving Mode – this mode facilitates a linear response of the motor from 0 (zero) command level. This mode is recommended for scanning applications and micron-level displacement. The Linear Mode drive is preferable for perfect servo tracking and/or very low ripple constant velocity. Nanomotion Ltd.
  • Page 15: Motor Installation

    The mounting base, the stage and the method used for mounting should be designed for maximum mechanical rigidity and stiffness ≥ 5 N/µm for EDGE motor and > 10 N/µm for EDGE 4X motor. • The ceramic strip surface should move parallel to the motion. The maximum allowable run-out of the strip should not exceed ±0.03mm...
  • Page 16: Bonding The Driving Strip To The Stage

    Figure 1: Bonding the Ceramic Driving Strip Verify that there is a maximum gap of 0.5mm between the lower edge of the Ceramic Driving Strip and the motor mounting surface (refer to chapter 7) to assure enough clearance for the motor tip.
  • Page 17 Ensure that the epoxy is in contact with the surfaces of both the strip and slide, but that it does not flow over the Ceramic Driving Strip front surface or over the upper working surface of the slide. Nanomotion Ltd.
