15. USING A DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR

15.4.3 Dynamic brake characteristics

CAUTION
(1) Dynamic brake operation
(a) Calculation of coasting distance
Fig. 15.3 shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the dynamic brake is
operated. Use equation 15.1 to calculate an approximate coasting distance to a stop. The dynamic
brake time constant τ varies with the direct drive motor and machine operation speeds. (Refer to (1)
(b) in this section.)

e
There is internal relay delay time of about 10 ms.
The coasting distance is a theoretically calculated value which ignores the
running load such as friction. The calculated value will be longer than the actual
distance. If an enough braking distance is not provided, a moving part may crash
into the stroke end, which is very dangerous. Install the anti-crash mechanism
such as an air brake or an electric/mechanical stopper such as a shock absorber
to reduce the shock of moving parts.
POINT
Do not use dynamic brake to stop in a normal operation as it is the function to
stop in emergency.
For a machine operating at the recommended load to motor inertia ratio or less,
the estimated number of usage times of the dynamic brake is 1000 times while
the machine decelerates from the rated speed to a stop once in 10 minutes.
Be sure to enable EM1 (Forced stop 1) after the direct drive motor stops when
using EM1 (Forced stop 1) frequently in other than emergency.
