5.7. Electronic Gear Ratio
5.7.1. Electronic Gear
Electronic Gear: assume that the host controller sends 5000 pulses per revolution of servo motor.
When doubling revolutions of servo motor driven by the same amount of pulses is needed, there are
two methods available,
―set servo parameters‖ and ―addition of mechanical gear between motor
spindle and load-
spindle‖. Using circuit to realize the functions of mechanical gear is called electronic
gear, viz. pulse frequency multiplication function.
5.7.2. Electronic Gear Functions
Regarding
―Electronic Gear‖, it refers to a proportional control factor of output displacement to motor
when a certain amount of pulses is input. For the
―senior device‖ issuing pulses, it can be regardless of
encoder pulse No. and mechanical deceleration ratio in controlling.
Functions of electronic gear: it can set the command unit freely (the displacement of lead screw
corresponding to one pulse sent by host controller). Frequency reduplication can be used to amplify
the frequency of pulse issued by mater controller.
Electronic gear ratio= encoder resolution × command unit × mechanical deceleration ratio / pitch
Please see the servo motor label plate and then refer to the corresponding driver manual to confirm its
encoder resolution. Fig. 5-4 is a label plate of YASKAWA SGMSH motor, and the 4th character in
motor type is the serial encoder specification, so the resolution of this motor is 2
17
, i.e. 131072.

For instance: (an example of YASKAWA servo) lead screw pitch of a certain type machine is 5mm, with
17 bit encoder resolution,
―0.0001mm/p‖ pulse equivalent and ―1:1‖ deceleration ratio.
