Hi all I have found the solution elsewhere. The motor is a PM linear motor yes.
The equation is this:
Where k is equal to 2583.3 (derived from the mass, back emf, and coil resistance)
m is equal to 200kg (the mass of the unit)
And v0 is equal to 2 (initial velocity)
Graphing this shows the...
So I will isolate the motor from the drive, and essentially use resistors to load it and come to a stop.
I am not looking for a different solution to the problem here, I am going to use this method as least in test, then possibly move to large braking resistors if things get too hot.
The...
as long as each ring stays at the same speed you can use one motor and a bunch of gears, what you are trying to do is basically the same as a clock, but instead of a 60:1 ratio and a 3600:1 ratio (second hand to the minute and hour hand) you want smaller differences in the ratio.
To get started...
The drive for the motors in question are undersized for the application, so for instance we can accelerate at a max of 2.5-3m/s/s but that is because we have limited current and voltage through the motor amplifier, the motor itself has a theoretical max acceleration of that mass is something...
Hey all, new to the forum and I have a question.
I have an application where I have Linear motors moving quite a large mass, and to make the system at least a little safe I need to implement some braking. The difficult part of this is that the largest electrical brakes that I can find are only...
