They must be authorized to install, commission and operate in accordance with established practices and standards.
The NK frameless servomotor are the active parts of a servo motor: a rotor and a stator. The NK series can not be used alone and must integrated into a complete system to provide a complete servomotor. The design, the construction, the certification and the tests are the responsibility of the integrator.

3.1.3. Thermal equivalent torque (rms torque) The selection of the right motor can be made through the calculation of the rms torque (i.e. root mean squared torque) (sometimes called equivalent torque). This calculation does not take into account the thermal time constant. It can be used only if the overload time is much shorter than the copper thermal time constant.
Page 15
Selection of the motor : The motor adapted to the duty cycle has to provide the rms torque M at the rms speed(*) without extra heating. This means that the permanent torque M available at the average speed presents a sufficient margin regarding the rms torque M rms.
Please refer to the drive technical documentation for any further information and to select the best motor and drive association. AC890 PARKER drive example: The rated current provided by the AC890 drive depends on its rated power and its mode selection. “Vector mode” is used for induction motors while “Servo mode” is used for brushless AC motors.

Example n°2 : This times; the application needs : - a permanent torque of 5.8 Nm at low speed, - a rms torque of 5.8 Nm at the rms speed of 1890 rpm, - an acceleration torque of 8.8 - a maximal speed of 2800 rpm. Selection of the motor: The selected motor is the type NK620EAR.
3.1.5. Current limitation at stall conditions (i.e. speed < 3 rpm) Recommended reduced current at speed < 3 rpm: reduced Warning: The current must be limited to the prescribed values. If the nominal torque has to be maintained at stop or low speed (< 3 rpm), imperatively limit the current to 70% of I (permanent current at low speed), in order to avoid an excessive overheating of the motor.

3.6. Thermal Protection Different protections against thermal overloading of the motor are proposed as an option: Thermoswitch, PTC thermistors or KTY temperature built into the stator winding. No thermal protection are available for the NK1 motor The thermal sensors, due to their thermal inertia, are unable to follow very fast winding temperature variations.
3.6.2. Temperature measurement with KTY sensors: Motor temperature can also be continuously monitored by the drive using a KTY 84- 130 thermal sensor built in to the stator winding. KTY sensors are semiconductor sensors that change their resistance according to an approximately linear characteristic.
3.7. Power Electrical Connections 3.7.1. Wires sizes In every country, you must respect all the local electrical installation regulations and standards.

4.6. Tests The motor components delivered by Parker are tested : • dielectric test, • surge test, • winding resistance and inductance, • direction of rotation, • rotor flux. But complete motor must be tested for safety reason and to comply with the regulations (CE,…).
Whenever an operating incident occurs, consult the relevant servo drive installation instructions (the troubleshooting display indications will help you in your investigation) or contact us at: http://www.parker.com/eme/repairservice. Check there is no mechanical blockage or if the motor You note that the motor does not turn by hand terminals are not short-circuited.
