CHAPTER 11 – Appendix
6 - COGGING TORQUE COMPENSATION
The cogging torque in brushless permanent magnet rotating motors results from the interaction between the rotor
magnets and the stator slots. This disturbance is due to the difference of reluctance between the copper of the
windings and the iron of the stator teeth. For a given motor, the cogging torque can be easily evaluated by simply
moving the motor manually when the amplifier is disabled. The Cogging torque compensation available in the
SMT-BD1/t amplifier allows to cancel the motor cogging effects for specific applications where torque accuracy
higher than 1 % is required.
Proceed as follows for the cogging torque compensation setup :
Start the amplifier commissioning and adjustment as described
Uncouple the motor from the load in order to avoid any external disturbance on the shaft during the cogging
torque acquisition procedure.
Disable the
Reduced stiffness at standstill
command if selected,
then execute an
Auto-tuning
procedure with
the
High bandwidth
and the
Standard
filter selection.
Execute the
Cogging torque acquisition
procedure. This procedure is taking a few minutes because the motor
is moving at low speed over 1 or 2 revolutions in both directions. The acquired cogging torque value is
automatically stored in the amplifier EEPROM at the end of the procedure execution.
Switch off the amplifier and couple the motor to the load.
Switch on the amplifier again, enable the
Cogging compensation
command and execute the
Save parameters
to EEPROM
procedure.

CAUTION
The motor shaft must not be disturbed during the cogging torque acquisition procedure.
CAUTION
When changing either the motor, the resolver, the amplifier or the EEPROM memory, the cogging torque
acquisition procedure must be renewed.
