AC Motors Customization
Anaheim Automation was established in 1966 as a manufacturer of turnkey motion control systems. Its emphasis on R&D has insured the continued introduction of advanced motion control products, such as the AC Motors product line. Today, Anaheim Automation ranks high among the leading manufacturers and distributors of motion control products, a position enhanced by its excellent reputation for quality products at competitive prices. The AC Motors product line is no exception to the Company’s goal.

Anaheim Automation offers a variety of standard AC Motors. Occasionally, OEM customers with mid to large quantity requirements prefer to have AC Motors that are custom or modified to meet their exact design requirements. Sometimes the customization is as simple as shaft modification, brake, oil seal for an IP65 rating, mounting dimensions, wire colors, or label. Other times, a customer might require that AC Motors meet an ideal specification such as, speed, torque, and/or voltage.

Characteristics of a Step Motor
• Step motors are constant power devices.
• As the stepr motors speed increases, torque decreases.
• Maximum torque for most step motors is when the motor is fixed, but the important aspect of step motors is the torque when rotating (spinning).
• Torque curves (performance curve of distinuishing step motors) can be extended by current limiting step motor drivers (see our web site for compatible step motors and driver models).
• Step motors exhibit some vibratory characteristics, more than other motor types. (If vibration is a problem, consider another technology).
• The vibration seen in step motors is due to the fact that the takes discrete steps and this tends to create a snap in the step motor rotor, as it moves from one position to the other.
• Proper sizing and pairing the step motors with the step motor driver will help reduce vibration
• Failure to correctly size a step motors application can cause the motor to lose torque and change direction, at certain speeds. (This problem can be greatly reduced or eliminated by accelerating rapidly the speeds that are problematic. Frictional damping the step motor system or using a micro step motor driver combination may completely solve this problem.
• Stepper motors that are constructed with a high amount of phases are capable of smoother operation, or the same effect can be accomplished using a microstep drive technique.

Stepper Motors Common Causes for Failure
Frequent Causes for Stepper Motors and/or Stepper Driver Failure
NOTE: Always read the condition sheet/user's guide that accompanies each product

Problem: Intermittent or erratic basic stepper motors or drivers operation.
Solution: This is the most frequent cause of failure and 1 of the most problematic to detect. Begin by checking to insure that all connections are snug between basic stepper motors and drivers. Evidence of discoloration at the terminals/connections, may denote an insecure connection. When replacing a basic stepper motor, driver or Driver Pack in a motion control system, be sure to inspect all terminal blocks and connectors. Check cabling/wiring for precision. Stress basic stepper motor wiring and connections for amiss conditions and check with an ohmmeter.

Problem: Standard Stepper motor wires were disconnected while the driver was forceed up.
Solution: Avoid performing any service to the basic stepper motors or drivers while the force is on, especially in regard to motor connections. This precaution is critical for both the driver, as well as the technician/installer.

Problem: Inenough system performance.
Solution: Check to see if the wire/cables are too lengthy. Keep wire/cable to the standard stepper motors under 25 feet in length. For applications where the wiring from the basic stepper motors to the stepper drivers exceeds 25 feet, please touch the factory for instructions, as it is likely that temporal voltage protection devices will be required. Another possibility is that the standard stepper motor lead wires are of a gauge that is too short. Do not match your cable wires to the gauge size the standard stepper motor lead wires. Anaheim Automation suggests using a shielded cable for such wiring (bought separately). Additionally, check the age of your standard stepper motor, as with time and use, standard stepper motors lose most of their magnetism which affects performance. Commonly 1 can expect 10,000 operating hours for basic stepper motors (approximately 4.8 years, running 1 eight-hour shift per work day). Also, make certain that your basic stepper motor and driver combination is a acceptable match for your application. Contact the factory, should you have any concerns.

Problem: The basic stepper motor has a shorted winding or a short to the motor case.
Solution: It is likely that you have a abnormal basic stepper motor. Do not attempt to repair motors. Opening the basic stepper motor case may de-magnetize the motor, causing poor performance. Opening of the basic stepper motor case will also void your warranty. The motor windings can be examed with an ohmmeter. As a rule of thumb, if the basic stepper motor is a frame size of NEMA 08, 11, 14, 15, 17, 23, or 34 and the warranty period has expired, it is not cost-effective to return these basic stepper motors for repair. Call the factory if your suspect a abnormal basic stepper motor that is still under warranty, or if it is a NEMA size 42 or a K-series motor.

Problem: The basic stepper motor driver or Driver Pack is over-heating.
Solution: Ventilation and cooling accommodations are vital - failure to provide enough airflow will affect the basic stepper motor driver's performance and will shorten the life of the driver. Keep driver temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius. To maintain acceptable airflow, use fans, heat sink material, and base plates, so not to exceed the elevatedest temperature rating of the basic stepper motors, drivers or controllers. Be mindful of temperatures inside cabinets and enclosures where stepper drivers may be mounted.

Problem: Environmental factors are less than normal.
Solution: Environmental factors, such as welding, chemical vapors, moisture, humidity, dust, etc., can harm both the electronics and the basic stepper motors. Protect drivers, controllers and basic stepper motors from environments that are wearing, contain voltage spikes, or prevent acceptable ventilation. For AC lines that contain voltage spikes, a line regulator (filter) will be required.

Problem: Pulse rates (Clock or Step) to the driver are too elevated.
Solution: The typical half-step driver can drive basic stepper motors at a elevatedest rate of 20,000 pulse per 2nd. Pulse rates of above 60,000 pulses per 2nd can harm the driver. See distinct condition sheets for the motor and driver combination for optimum performance.

Problem: The basic stepper motor is stalling.
Solution: In many cases, stalling the motor causes a enormous voltage spike that often harms the phase transistors on the driver. Some drivers are built to protect itself from such an occurrence. If not, Transient Suppression Instruments can be added externally. Consult the factory for further info.

Problem: The basic stepper motor is back-driving the driver.
Solution: A basic stepper motor that is being turned by a load creates a back EMF voltage on the driver. Higher speeds will produce elevateder voltage levels. If the rotational speed gets overly elevated, this voltage might cause harm to the driver. This is especially dangerous when the motor is back-driven while the driver is still on. Put a mechanical stop or brake in applications that might be subject to these phenomena.

General Safety Considerations for Stepper Motor Applications

The following safety considerations must be observed during all stages of operation, service and repair. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety basics of design, manufacture, and intended use of basic stepper motors, drivers and controllers. Even well built products, operated or installed imsuitablely, can be unpredictable. Safety precautions absolutely must be observed by the user with respect to the load and operating environment. The customer is responsible for suitable selection, installation and operation of the products bought.

• Use caution when handling, examining, and adjusting during installation, set-up and operation • Service should not be performed with force applied • Exposed circuitry should be suitablely guarded or enclosed to prevent unauthorized human touch with live circuitry • Many products should be securely mounted and enoughly grounded • Provide enough air flow and heat dissipation • Dont operate in the presence of flammable gases, vapors, liquids or dust

Stepper Motors Mode
There are 3 excitation modes that are frequently used with Stepper Motors. The Stepper Motors modes are the full-step, half-step- and micro-step.

Stepper Motors - Full-Step
In full step operation, Stepper Motors step through the normal step angle e.g. 200 step/revolution motors take 1.8 steps while in half step operation, 0.9 steps are taken. There are two kinds of full-step modes. Single phase full-step excitation is where Stepper Motors are operated with only 1 phase energized at-a-time. This mode should only be used where torque and speed performance are not significant, e.g. where the motor is operated at a specific speed and load conditions are well defined. Problems with resonance can prohibit operation at most speeds. This type of mode requires the least amount of power from the drive power supply of any of the excitation modes. Dual phase full-step excitation is where the Stepper Motors are operated with two phases energized at-a-time. This mode provides excellent torque and speed performance with a minimum of resonance problems. Dual excitation, provides about 30 to 40 percent more torque than single excitation, but does require twice the power from the drive power supply.

Stepper Motors - Half-Step
Stepper Motors have half-step excitation which is substitute single and dual phase operation resulting in steps 1 half the normal step size. This mode provides twice the resolution. While the motor torque output varies on substitute steps, this is more than offset by the need to step through only half the angle. This mode has become the predominately used mode by Anaheim Automation because it provides almost total freedom from resonance problems. Stepper Motors can be operated over a vast range of speeds and used to drive almost any load frequently encountered.

Stepper Motors - Micro-Step
In Stepper Motors micro-step mode, a Stepper Motor's natural step angle can be divided into much smaller angles. For example, a basic 1.8 degree motor has 200 steps/revolution. If the motor is micro-stepped with a 'divide-by-10', then each micro-step would move the motor 0.18 degrees and there would be 2,000 steps/revolution. Commonly, micro-step modes range from divide-by-10 to divide-by-256 (51,200 steps/rev for a 1.8 degree motor). The micro-steps are produced by proportioning the current in the two windings according to sine and cosine functions. This mode is only used where even motion or more resolution is required.

What are Servo Motors
Anaheim Automation provides an extensive variety of customary and Servo Motors. Occasionally, OEM customers with mid to large quantity requirements prefer to have Servo Motors that are custom or modified to meet their accurate design requirements. Most of the time the customization is as effortless as shaft modification, brake, oil seal for an IP65 rating, mounting dimensions, wire colors, or label. Other times, a customer might require that Servo Motors meet an ideal requirement such as, speed, torque, and/or voltage. Engineers appreciate that Anaheim Automation’s Servo Motors product line can answer their desire for creativity, flexibility and system efficiency. Buyers appreciate the simplicity of the "1-stop shop," and the price savings of custom Servo Motors design, while engineers are pleased with Anaheim Automation's dedicated involvement in their particular servo motor system.

Anaheim Automation’s average Servo Motors products are a price -effective solution, in that they are known for their rugged construction and superior performance. A considerable size of its sales growth has resulted from dedicated engineering, friendly customer service and professional application assistance, often surpassing the customer's expectations for fulfilling their custom requirements. While a acceptional portion of Anaheim Automation's Servo Motors sales involves unique, custom, or private-labeling requirements, the company takes pride in its average stock base located in Anaheim, California, USA. To make customization of Servo Motors affordable, a minimum quantity and/or a Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) fee is required. Contact the factory for details, should you require custom Servo Motors in your design.
All Sales for customized or modified Servo Motors are Non-Cancelable-Non-Returnable, and a NCNR Agreement should be signed by the customer, per each request. All Sales, including customized Servo Motors, are made pursuant to Anaheim Automation’s average Terms and Conditions, and are in lieu of any other expressed or implied terms, including but not limited to any implied warranties.
Anaheim Automation's customers for the Servo Motors products are divergent: companies operating or designing automated machinery or processes that involve food, cosmetics or medical packaging, labeling or tamper-evident requirements, cut-to-length applications, assembly, conveyor, material handling, robotics, unique filming and projection effects, medical diagnostics, inspection and security apparatuses, pump flow control, metal fabrication (CNC machinery), and equipment upgrades.

Stepper Motors Basic Types
Each type of stepper motors varies per application by its construction and functionality. The 3 most frequent stepper motors types are Variable Reluctance, Permanent Magnet, and Hybrid Stepper Motors.

Variable Reluctance (VR) Stepper Motors
VR stepper motorss are characterized as having multiple soft iron rotors and a wound stator. VR stepper motors commonly operate on the fundamental principle of the magnetic flux finding the lowest reluctance pathway through a magnetic circuit. In general operation, VR stepper motorss have relatively elevated step rates of 5 to 15 degrees and have no detent torque. The step angles taken in VR stepper motors are related to the number of teeth the stator and rotor have. The equation relating these two variables can be found in the formula section of this guide.

How Does a Variable Reluctance Stepper Motors Work?
Referring to Figure 1 on Page 2, the poles become magnetized when the stator windings are energized with DC current. With the poles becoming magnetized, the rotor teeth are now attracted to the energized stator poles and rotate to line up. With the windings around stator A becoming energized the rotor teeth become attracted allowing the poles to line up. When A’s windings become de-energized and B’s windings become energized, the rotor rotates to line its teeth with the stator teeth. This process continues in sequence with C, followed by D being energized allowing for the rotor to rotate.

Brief Summary of Variable Reluctance Stepper Motors:
• The rotor has multiple soft iron rotors with a wound stato
• Least elaborate and expensive stepper motors
• Big step angles
• No detent torque detected in hand rotation of a de-energized motor shaft

Permanent Magnet (PM) Stepper Motors
PM stepper motorss are composed of permanent magnet rotors with no teeth, which are magnetized perpendicular to the axis of rotation. By energizing the 4 phases in sequence, the rotor rotates due to the attraction of magnetic poles. The stepper motors shown in Figure 2 on page 3 will take 90 degree steps as the windings are energized in clockwise sequence: ABAB. PM stepper motorss commonly have step angles of 45 or 90 degrees and step at relatively low rates. However, they exhibit elevated torque and excellent damping characteristics. Anaheim Automation carries an extensive selection of PM stepper motorss, ranging from 15 to 57mm in diameter.

Brief Summary of Permanent Magnet (PM) Stepper Motors:
• The rotor is a permanent magne
• Big to moderate step angle
• Often utilized in computer printers as a paper feeder

Hybrid Stepper Motors
Hybrid stepper motors incorporate the qualities of both the VR and PM stepper motors designs. With the Hybrid stepper motors’s multi-toothed rotor resemblance of the VR, and an axially magnetized concentric magnet around its shaft, the Hybrid stepper motors provides an increase in detent, holding and dynamic torque. In comparison to the PM stepper motors, the Hybrid stepper motors provides performance enhancement with respect to step resolution, torque, and speed. In addition, the Hybrid stepper motors is capable of operating at elevated stepping speeds. Typical Hybrid stepper motorss are built with step angles of 0.9°, 1.8°, 3.6° and 4.5°; 1.8° being the most frequent step angle. Hybrid stepper motors are ideally suited for applications having stable loads with speeds under 1,000 rpm. There are key components which are influential of the running torque of a Hybrid stepper motors which are laminations, teeth and magnetic materials. Increasing the amount of laminations on the rotor, accuracy and sharpness of the rotor and stator teeth, and strength of magnetic material are all factors taken into account in providing optimal torque output for Hybrid stepper motors.

Brief Summary of Hybrid Stepper Motors:
• Smaller step angles in comparison to VR and PM stepper motors
• Rotor is made of a permanent magnet with fine teeth
• Increase in detent, holding and dynamic torque
&bull 1.°° is the most frequent step angle


NOTE: At Anaheim Automation, the 1.8 degree Hybrid stepper motors is the most amplely stocked stepper motors type, ranging in NEMA frame sizes, 08 to 42. The Hybrid stepper motors can also be driven two phases at a time to yield greater torque, or alternately one then two then one phase, to produce half-steps or 0.9 degree increments.

Application Note - "Musical Motors" - Stepper Motors and Their Virtuoso Performance!
Anaheim Automation's amazing versatility of control systems is evident in their fresh program titled, Musical Motors. They have utilized stepper motors, stepper drivers, and stepper controllers to operate at speeds that coincide with musical notes and pitches to produce a variety of distinct tunes. Each tune is performed by simply running the program that converts each music note into a certain step-per-second. All of the distinct stepper motors are programmed to produce an appropriate pitch constructed on how many steps-per-second they run, and for how long. Frequently played at a trade show, the program provides the element of surprise; many people do not expect to hear music that is being played by stepper motors!

Application Note: Flexibility is the Key to Successful Automation
Despite the familiarity Anaheim Automation, Inc. has with helping in the design of automating apparatus in today's world, there is often an instance where automated controls are not used to perform a designated task without the presence of human judgment. Consequently, this type of procedure can limit the amount of alternative methods of production, and be labor intensive. This was present in the case of the oil drilling lathe project that came to us.

A large lathe was used to thread drill pipe for oil well drilling operations. A drill pipe's diameter varies, up to two feet in diameter. Therefore, it is important to keep close thread tolerances to ensure even stress points during drilling. Anaheim Automation needed to coordinate the programming, the electronics, and other disciplines (i.e. hardware and software support), required for the development of this automated control system. Together with the customer - a machinery builder - we achieved an automated control system that incorporates the skill of the operator, into an automated performance using stepper drivers.

This was a large endeavor; several features were built into the machine, including the depth of cut, number of passes, safety cutoff with automatic withdraw, and rapid traverse. Anaheim Automation succeeding in providing utmost performance in this application using high-performance step motors, stepper drivers, and stepper controllers. When completed, importantly all the customer needed to do was to press a button, and the lathe cut and finished 1 flawless thread. The machine was a success, due to its comparably accessible operation.

Unfortunately, this first lathe design was automated to the point where every1 that used it was forced to mold to its abilities; as result a advanced criteria was developed. The advanced lathe design provided customers with the ability to perform a complete threading operation without mediating the process, and still allowed them to have the luxury of customization found in non-automatic machines. The customer can disable the automated process and utilize the machine completely non-automaticly, if chosen. The system could even be installed on an already existing non-automatic machine.

Due to their ability to increase production speed, as well as the fact that they can be operated safely and easily, larger lathes can be found nationwide at drilling sites being operated by comparably inexperienced workers. In this application, Anaheim Automation found a way to maximize the performance of stepper drivers automated threading pipe by incorporating human judgment and control, while avoiding obsolescence among older technology.

Keep Clock and Motor Wires Separate
Clock pulse is the culprit for up to eighty percent of stepper drivers problems. The most common reason for clock problems is wire position. When clock wires are placed too close to motor wires, this causes extraneous voltages to arise within the clock wires. The tip to remember: Always physically separate your clock and motor wires. Better yet, purchase Anaheim Automation shielded motor cable along with your stepper drivers choice.

Accessories of Servo Motors
Anaheim Automation provides several different accessories for our servo motors. These accessories include a brake, encoder, connector, cable and a handheld interface unit.

The brakes for our servo motors are a 24vdc system. The brakes used with the servo motors are adept for any holding applications. They are available on all of the servo motors Anaheim Automation has to offer, and are already attached to the rear of the servo motors. The brakes for the servo motors have a low voltage design for applications that are susceptible to delicate batter, brown out, or lengthy wiring runs. When electric power is adjusted to the brake of the servo motors the armature is pulled by the electromagnet force in the magnet body assembly, which overcomes the spring action. This allows the friction disc to rotate freely. When electrical power is interrupted, the electromagnetic force is removed and the pressure spring mechanically forces the armature plate to clamp the friction disc between itself and the pressure plate.

Anaheim Automation's servo motors are built with a 2500 counts per revolution quadrature encoder, with a resolution of 10,000 pulses per revolution.

Anaheim Automation's servo motors come with all the mandatory connectors to connect to another company's servo driver or an Anaheim Automation servo driver. These connectors for servo motors can additionally be purchased separately if they are lost. Please refer to the user's guide for a particular part number.

The cables for servo motors can be made with the supplied servo motor connector, or can be purchased from Anaheim Automation. The cable for use with servo motors comes with a regular length of 5M but can be adjusted to any length required.

Brushless Motors Wiring
The following information is intended as a basic guideline for wiring of the Anaheim Automation brushless motors product line. Be aware that when you route power and signal wiring on a system or machine, radiated noise from the nearby relays, transformers, and other electronic devices can be inducted into the brushless motor and encoder signals, input/output communications, and other sensitive low voltage signals. This can cause systems faults and communication errors.

WARNING - Hazardous voltages capable of causing death or injury, may be present in the brushless motor system. Use great caution when handling, wiring, testing, and adjusting during installation, set-up, tuning, and operation. Don't make extreme adjustments or changes to the brushless motor system parameters, which can cause mechanical vibration and result in loss and/or failure. Once the brushless motors are wired, do not run the brushless motor controller by switching On/Off the power supply directly. Continual power On/Off switching will cause fast aging of the internal components, which will reduce the lifetime of brushless motor system.

Strictly obey the following rules:
- Follow the Wiring Diagram with each brushless motor
- Route high-voltage power cables separately from low-voltage power cables.
- Segregate input power wiring and brushless motor power cables from control wiring and brushless motor feedback cables as they leave the brushless motor controller. Maintain this separation throughout the wire run.
- Use shielded cable for power wiring and provide a grounded 360 degree clamp termination to the enclosure wall. Allow room on the sub-panel for wire bends.
- Make all cable routes as short as possible.

NOTE: Factory made cables are recommended for use in our brushless driver and motor systems. These cables are purchased separately, and are designed to minimize EMI. These cables are recommended over customer-built cables to optimize system performance and to offer additional safety for the brushless motor system and the user.

WARNING - To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, perform all wiring and mounting of the brushless motors and controller system prior to applying power. Once power is applied, connection terminals can have voltage present.

Brushless Motors Construction
The Stator
The stator of brushless motors is made up of stacked steel laminations the windings are placed in the slots that are cut inside the laminations. The stator of brushless motors is comparable to that of an AC motor however the windings are different. Brushless motors have three stator windings connected in either a Delta or star configuration. Each of these windings are constructed from multiple coils connected together to form a winding. Anaheim Automation commonly has six coils per brushless motor which are made into a three-phase winding. There is usually an even number of polls

There are mainly two types of stator windings sinusoidal and trapezoidal. The difference is made on the basis of the interconnection of the coils of the stator windings which results in a different type of back EMF the trapezoidal variant gives its back EMF in the shape of a trapezoid. The sinusoidal variation gives its brushless motors a back EMF in the sinusoidal fashion going along with the current the faulted also has the shape of a trapezoid and a sinusoid. The difference between the two brushless motors is that the sinusoidal brushless motor has smoother output torque than that of a trapezoidal brushless motor. The stator will winding can be wound for multiple folk voltages. This can be customized for almost any particular applications are speed and torque requirements.

The Rotor
The rotor is made up of permanent magnets in commonly have between two and eight poles the magnets are bonded onto the rotor core in alternating north and south pole fields. Ferrite magnets are normally used to make the permanent magnet rotor. For higher power density applications rare earth magnets are being used more frequently the ferrite magnets are less pricey but have lower flux density when compared to the rare earth magnets. The price of rare earth magnets is also coming down. Higher power density means that the brushless motors can put out more torque in a smaller volume which is advantageous to manufacturers that are constantly pushed provide smaller and smaller packages.

Rare earth magnet types:
Neodymium (Nd)
Samarium Cobalt (SmCo)
The alloy of Neodymium, Ferrite, and Boron (NdFeB)
