Operating mode selection
The following figure illustrates the transmission of force from one motor to another in rigidly coupled motors:
Explanation: At 2 motors rigidly coupled via a beam (shown as a dot in the figure), an external force (F) acts on motor 1. Due to the rigid coupling of the motors, motor 2 must compensate part of the force acting on motor 1. The ratio between the force acting on motor 1 (F1) and the force acting on motor 2 (F2) is therefore decisive for selecting the operating mode.
The following table shows which operating mode is used with which force ratio:
Force ratio F1/F2 | Operating mode |
|---|---|
0 to 0.1 | Skew priority |
0.1 to 0.25 | Determine the operating mode by a test |
0.25 to 1 | Torque priority |
