Note
Siemens offers its mechatronic support service
Please contact your local Siemens office if you require mechatronic support regarding,
• the mechanical design of the machine
• the closed-loop control technology to be used
• the resolution and measuring accuracy of the encoder
• the optimum integration of the encoder into the mechanical structure.
When designing, constructing and optimizing your machine, we can support you with
measurement-based and computer-based analyses.
You can obtain additional information from your Siemens contact person, also refer to the
Internet link in the introduction under "Technical Support".
5.1.1
Procedure
Requirements
The selection of a suitable segment motor depends on:
● The peak, continuous and static torque required for the application
● The required speed and angular acceleration,
● The installation space available,
● The required/possible drive arrangement
Workflow
Selecting the motors is generally an iterative process because - in particular for direct drives
with a high dynamic performance - the moment of inertia of the motor type is a factor in
determining the required torques.
