Coupling High Performance TECHNICAL NOTE Servos to Mechanical Loads Best Practices Mick Oakley, ORMEC Systems Corp. Mechanical design for servos places an additional set of constraints to the design rules normally used for power transmission de- sign. These added constraints relate primarily to the stiffness of the system and inertial matching. Decisions on speed reducers, couplings, shaft configurations and many other critical aspects of the mechanical design are often made very early in the design process. Once made, these decisions can be very expensive and time consuming to change. The intent of this technical note is to communicate some design information and “rules of thumb” that we at ORMEC have found important in our many years of applying servos to industrial automation. Are these guidelines universal truths? Obviously any set of design rules will from time to time collide with a special case. However, the following guidelines will apply in the vast majority of cases and the prudent designer will only violate them after careful analysis and with a thorough understanding of the risks i n- volved. Why be concerned about the load? Knowledgeable servo designers are No designer should approach wary of using a servomotor to drive the design of a servo driven mechanisms whose moment of inertia is mechanism especially one many times that of the motor itself. with a significant inertial However, economic pressures and other
