We recently made the following test setup for one of our customers who required a ‘loaded’ motor to perform a specific rotational sequence.
The motor used for the test is our 30mm PCBMotor w/100-Line Encoder – modified with a 400-line encoder.
The test result was that the 30mm diameter motor with a load of 230g easily performed the required ‘100 sequences’ and came back to the exact starting point.
The codewheel has 399 lines/rev., so the sequence was as follows:
- step66,delay1000,s66,d1000,s66,d1000,s66,d1000,s66,d1000,s69,d1000,step-399,d1000,xrepeat100
The first x100 sequences are without load and the last are with 230g. The speed is approximately 0.7 rps (without load) and 0.3 rps with the 230g load.
