    An excessive amount of current through the thermistor will cause its temperature to rise and a false triggering will occur. Figure 2-6: Typical Thermistor Interface Circuit Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 27: Hall-Effect Operation And Motor Phasing

    In linear servomotors, one popular method of commutation is with Hall-effect sensors. They sense the presence of a magnetic field and provide an output as a function of the forcer position. Aerotech linear motor Hall sensors provide a unique set of Hall sensor outputs every sixty electrical degrees. Therefore the forcer position can be resolved to any of six segments over 360 electrical degrees.
  • Page 28: Motor Heating

    Poor heat transfer away from the motor, excessive loading, elevated ambient temperatures, etc. are conditions that will cause excessive motor heating and failure. The importance of motor overload and thermal protection devices as described in previous sections becomes apparent. Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
