Goldline EB Instructions | 1 English
1.1 Introduction
This manual is a general document and is applicable for Goldline EB-Series synchronous
servomotors (standard version).
Kollmorgen’s brushless motors utilize high-energy Samarium Cobalt or Neodymium Iron Boron
magnet technology. These brushless motors consist of permanent magnet rotors and 3-phase Y-
stator windings. Brushless motors do not have commutators or associated brushes. These motors
run as synchronous motors, meaning the rotor speed is the same as the speed (frequency) of the
rotating stator's magnetic field. A brushless resolver is used as the feedback device and is mounted
internally as part of the overall motor construction.
Benefits resulting from the typical amplifier and brushless motor construction are:
l
Lower rotor inertia permits higher acceleration rates.
l
The motor is thermally more efficient since all heat is generated in the stator windings located
in the outside shell.
l
Higher speed operation and high peak horsepower are achieved. There is no commutation
limit.
l
Smaller physical motor size for a given horsepower rating.
l
Higher reliability and less motor maintenance. There is no commutator or brushes.
l
Smooth output torque.
The Catalog data (CD) and Performance Curve (PC) presented in this document are applicable only
to corresponding individual motor. They contain such information as maximum operating speed,
peak current limits, and values that make the amplifier and motor combinations compatible. Do
NOT operate the motor outside the parameters shown on the respective performance curves.
