To find the newest information about this product, refer to www.aerotech.com. If you do not understand the information in this manual, contact Aerotech Global Technical Support. IMPORTANT: This product has been designed for light industrial manufacturing or laboratory environments.
To decrease the risk of damage to the equipment, you must obey the precautions that follow. IMPORTANT: Aerotech motors are meant to be part of a drive package that consists of an amplifier and a controller. The motor relies on the drive package for fault protection.
It is the responsibility of the End User/System Integrator to make sure that motors are properly connected and grounded per Engineering Standards and applicable safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the End User/System Integrator to configure the system drive or controller within the Aerotech motor electrical and mechanical specifications. www.aerotech.com...
S-Series Hardware Manual Motor-Related Warnings Aerotech motors are capable of producing high forces and velocities. Obey all warnings and all applicable codes and standards when you use or operate a stage or system that incorporates Aerotech motors. DANGER: Mechanical Hazard! Personnel must be made aware of the mechanical hazards during set up or when you do service to the motor.
Hardware Manual S-Series Pinch Points A pinch point is a mechanical hazard that can occur when there are exposed parts of the motor, stage, or system that can move. For example, the travel of a stage tabletop could expose the user to a pinch point between the tabletop and the stage housing.
S-Series Hardware Manual Handling and Storage IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the customer to safely and carefully lift and move the motor. Be careful when you move or transport the motor. Retain the shipping materials for future use. Transport or store the motor in its protective packaging.

Before you operate the motor, let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours. This will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when they were tested at Aerotech. Storage Store the motor in the original shipping container.

Applications with vertical axes require a fail-safe brake. Aerotech, Inc. supplies the parts that follow: 1. Stator Assembly 2. Rotor Assembly The customer must supply the parts that follow: 1.
S-Series Hardware Manual 2.2. Rotor Shaft Requirements The rotor shaft diameter should be no more than 0.003 inches smaller than the rotor hub ID. The shaft should also have a shoulder perpendicular to the OD of the shaft for locating the rotor.
You will have to disassemble the motor if you need to move the card. The standard Aerotech Hall sensor commutation offset is 0°. A 30° offset requires moving the card. Refer to the Hall Card Placement section (Section 2.4.) to change the offset.
Hardware Manual 2.4. Hall Card Placement Aerotech motors are supplied with a 0° offset between the Hall signals and corresponding line-to- neutral BEMF voltages. This can be changed to a 30° offset by removing the mounting screws and remounting the card in the position shown in Figure 2-3.
RMS current rating of the motor. For most applications, you should use slow-blow type fuses. When the motor is part of an Aerotech system that uses an Aerotech controller and drive, the motor over-current protection fault must be set to whichever is lower: the peak continuous current rating of the motor or the drive continuous current rating.
Hardware Manual S-Series 2.5.4. Hall-Effect Device and Thermistor Wiring The insulation of these wires should have a rating for at least the maximum voltage applied to the motor winding. The temperature rating of the wire insulation must also be sufficiently high to withstand the operating temperatures specific to the application.
Hardware Manual 2.5.6. Thermal Protective Device S-Series motors use a positive-temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor as a thermal protection device. The nominal resistance of the thermistor is 100 ohms at 25 °C. The resistance of the thermistor will increase rapidly to 1,000 ohms as the motor temperature increases to the 100 °C transition temperature of the thermistor.
Hardware Manual S-Series WARNING: If you connect the thermistor to the interface circuit incorrectly, you could cause the thermistor to self-heat. If too much current passes through the thermistor, the temperature will increase and cause the thermistor to activate and increase resistance.
S-Series Hardware Manual 2.6. Motor Heating The amount of current that can pass through the motor winding is limited by a rise in temperature above ambient. If the temperature of the motor exceeds the thermal limit, the thermistor sensor will send a signal to the controller and the controller will stop the motor.
Use non-magnetic tools when you do service to the motor. Inspect the S-Series motor at least once per month. You will have to determine a longer or shorter inspection interval based on the application and conditions, such as the duty cycle, speed, and environment.
