Selecting the MOVIMOT® performance drive unit

Observe the following points when selecting the MOVIMOT® performance drive unit:

  1. Selection of a suitable gear unit size
    (Specification: Helical-bevel gear unit)
    • Requirement: The maximum output torque of the gear unit must be greater than the maximum required application torque: Ma max ≥ Mmax.
    • On the basis of the application calculations and taking account of the efficiency, the maximum application torque during startup (first travel section) is Mmax = 145 Nm
    • Result: Helical-bevel gear units of size K.37 meet this requirement.
  2. Selecting the gear ratio with suitable output speed:
    • Requirement: The application calculations result in a maximum required output speed of nmax = 50 min-1.
    • To achieve a high setting range and an optimum efficiency, the required output speed should be achieved as precisely as possible at an input speed of ne = nN = 2000 min-1 (nominal motor speed).
    • Result: As there is no ideal gear ratio
      for the selected gear unit, the next smaller gear ratio available = 37.97 is selected.
    • There are no external overhung loads acting on the gear shaft in this example.
  3. Choosing the right motor:
    • Requirement: Select a motor/inverter combination that can provide at least at peak performance.
    • Result: In the following table, select motor CM3C80S/D.. with the assigned 2.0 A inverter.

  1. Checking further topics:
    • Feasibility of the selected motor/gear unit combination
  2. Checking the setting range:
    • Setting range of the application
    • This means the speed setting range of 1:40 is sufficient. The encoder option needs not be selected. na at ne = 50 min-1
  3. Thermal check of the MOVIMOT® performance drive unit
    • Requirement: In order to avoid thermal problems, the effective torque requirement of the application must be smaller than the continuous output torque of the MOVIMOT® performance drive unit.
    • The effective torque requirement (including the efficiency of the application) is 45.1 Nm, which corresponds to a torque requirement of at the motor shaft.
    • The selected motor/inverter combination CM3C80S/D.. with the assigned inverter 2.0 A has a nominal torque of 3.6 Nm.
    • Result: The requirements are met.
  4. Checking further topics:
    • Derating due to increased ambient temperature
    • Derating due to installation altitude
  5. Checking the braking resistor
    • Calculation of the regenerative power when decelerating:
