OM_Plettenberg_Electric_Motors | Version 1 | 2023.07.14 15
Plettenberg motors are available with various positioning and
temperature sensors, which are used for commutation and
monitoring. The below table provides an overview on the availability
of sensor types. Motor series not included below are only available
for sensorless operation.
Note: (
) is defined as not available in standard.
Plettenberg’s standard positioning sensor is the “stator-sensor”,
whereby three hall sensors with 120-degree electrical spacing are
installed in the stator. Depending on the application, a “rotor-sensor”
or a “shaft-sensor” can be viable alternatives. Plettenberg can also
integrate custom encoder and positioning sensors.
All sensor guided motors of Plettenberg have a specified direction
of rotation (CW or CCW), which needs to be defined when ordering
the motor. Our sensors have an operating voltage of 5V.
Block commutation with sensors
The feedback of the rotor position is implemented through a
positioning sensor integrated into the motor. The sensors are
electrically offset by 120-degree and deliver six different switch
positions per revolution. The three partial windings are driven by the
motor controller in accordance with the sensor information.
