RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Pittman Servomotor

Hi,
Thanks for your info.
The HP encoder board has a serial (part?) No 07470-60110 and HP 711?5. No
mention of HEDS.
I assume the 4 output leads are ground, supply, pulse and direction. But
which is which?

It is pretty easy to determine the basic motor constants. Kv is how many
volts it
takes to get 1000 RPM. You can use a disc with a slot in it and a
photo-sensor,
and count with an oscilloscope, if you have one. You can also use a neon
bulb
with a 100 K Ohm resistor and rectifier, all in series. This bulb will
blink 60 times
a second (at least in the US) and can be held next to a disc with a wide
stripe
marked on it. Connect the motor to a variable DC power supply, and adjust
for
16.67 pulses per second on the oscilloscope for 1000 RPM, and read voltage.
Or, set such that the disc only shows one stripe standing still (with the
neon stroboscope)
and you should be at either 1800 or 3600 RPM. If you increase voltage to
get two
stripes standing still, that would be 7200 RPM, but that might be tough on
the motor.
Anyway, at 3600 RPM, divide the voltage by 3.6 and you have your Kv.

For Kt (the torque constant), mount a spool of some sort on the motor. A
thread
spool might be perfect. Wind some heavy thread or light string on the drum
a few
turns, and put some modest weight on the string. You might want to put a
power resistor
of something like 1 - 10 Ohms in series with the power supply, and hook a
DVM
in series to measure current. Adjust the voltage of the power supply until
it just
starts to lift the weight. At this point, read the current. Kt is torque
per amp.
So, knowing the radius of the drum and the weight, you can figure out the
torque
to lift it in whatever units of measure you like. If the radius of the drum
was one
inch, and the weight was 10 Oz, then lifting the weight required torque of
10 Oz-In.
If it took 1.5 Amps to do that, the Kt of the motor is 10/1.5 = 6.667
Oz-In/Amp.

If you can find a part # on the encoder or read head (may look like
HEDS-9000
or some similar) we can be more help.
