Hudson Motor FAQ
Q: Are Hudson Motors UL or CE certified?
A:
Yes, both.
Q: How are Hudson Motors tested?
A:
Each Hudson motor is rigorously tested before shipment. The tests
include:
•
100% HASS tested (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening)
•
Mechanical compliance tests
•
Encoder
integrity
test
•
Commutation
sensor
accuracy
test
•
Full electrical compliance test
•
Full
functional
test
Q: What type of servo drives will work with a Hudson Motor?
A:
Hudson servo motors are 3-phase, synchronous, permanent magnet,
brushless, servo motors with an incremental encoder that outputs standard
differential encoder signals and standard 120º optical commutation (Hall)
sensor signals. Hudson BLDC motors will work with the following drive types:
•
Six-step
(trapezoidal)
•
Sine
wave
•
Sine wave with vector torque control
Q: Which connector should I use?
A:
A Hudson motor can be fitted with either a Molex MiniFit Jr. or Souriau
Trim-Trio connector.
For most applications, the
Molex MiniFit Jr.
connector is a good choice. Use
this type of connector in relatively clean, dry environments (general dust is
OK), and when 10 amps or less motor phase current will be applied.
Consider using
Souriau Trim-Trio
connectors where the connector may be
subject to water spray, mist or fumes, or when more than 10 amps per phase
may be present. Note: Trim-Trio connectors have a longer lead time.
Q: Which motor winding option should I pick?
A:
Hudson motors are available in
Series
or
Parallel
winding
configurations.
Select the winding that best matches your torque and speed requirements.
Torque-speed graphs are available in the Hudson motor section of our
website.
