directly. Therefore, errors in the drive, such as nonlinearity, backlash or elastic deformations
cannot influence the measurement of the position.
4.4.2
Drive
The drive generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
The drive comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Motor
The motor generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
Rotary encoder
The rotary encoder measures the motor shaft's angle of rotation. This signal can be used by
suitable electronics for commutating the motor .
4.4.3
Holding brake
The holding brake blocks the drivetrain at rest.
The holding brake is designed for holding only and is not suitable for continuous braking
during operation.
The holding brake blocks in a zero voltage state.
4.4.4
Drag chain
The drag chain (also: energy chain or energy supply chain) guides and protects the
L-417.xx9211E1B's flexible cables and lines.
4.4.5
Linear Encoder Connector
The linear encoder connector transmits the L-417.xx9211E1B's sensor signals.
