WARNING: Trip Hazard! Route, house, and secure all cables, duct work, air, or water lines. Failure to do so could introduce trip hazards around the system that could result in physical injury or could damage the equipment. www.aerotech.com...
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...
Hardware Manual BM/BMS 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.
(during normal operation, for example). when the system is moved manually (during the installation process or when you do maintenance, for example). Motors are capable of very high speeds and acceleration rates. Figure 1: Typical Pinch Point Locations www.aerotech.com...
Use a cart, dolly, or similar device to move the motor to a new location. Gently set the motor on a smooth, flat, and clean surface. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil- free air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping. www.aerotech.com...

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.

6. To reduce outgassing during the initial pump-down to vacuum pressure, Aerotech recommends that you bake out vacuum systems when you first install them into the vacuum chamber. Bake the vacuum components at 60 °C for 24 to 48 hours to desorb water vapor from surfaces and...

Do not bundle signal, motor power cables, or AC power lines within the same protective shield or conduit. Use separate protective shields or conduits. Do not introduce multiple paths to ground from a grounding point. Multiple paths to ground can create ground loops within the system. If necessary, use an EMI suppression device. www.aerotech.com...
1,000 ohms as the motor temperature increases to the 100 °C transition temperature of the thermistor. WARNING: The thermal protective device used in the motor must be connected to an external shutdown circuit to provide protection to the motor. Figure 2-1: Thermal Sensor Resistance as a Function of Temperature www.aerotech.com...
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. Figure 2-2: Typical Thermistor Interface Circuit www.aerotech.com...
BM/BMS Hardware Manual 2.3. Hall-Effect Operation and Motor Phasing Aerotech brushless motors are shipped from the factory with the correct motor phase to Hall effect relationship. Figure 2-3 shows the correct Hall effect to motor phasing for both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) motor rotation.
1. Aerotech phasing expects ØC to be the lead signal in time, ØB to follow it, and ØA to follow ØB. This means that whichever signal has been determined to lead the others in time is designated as the ØC winding.
Move channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the second motor lead and repeat the steps given above. Note which Hall signal corresponds to the currently selected motor lead. Repeat the process for the third motor lead until the desired relationships are attained and noted. www.aerotech.com...
Continuous Operating Curve. Motor operation in the region bounded by the Peak Operating Curve has to be limited in time or the temperature of the motor will exceed the thermal limit. Figure 2-7: Operating Regions Example www.aerotech.com...
Be careful when you clean the motor so that you do not remove the text on the motor labels. Lubrication Aerotech BM/BMS rotary motors do not require lubrication. It is the responsibility of the customer or OEM to lubricate customer-supplied components. Repairs In general, it is not possible for field service personnel to repair and/or replace damaged or components that have malfunctioned.
