LMBR Series Brush DC Linear Servo Motor

Mounting

The motor primary must be aligned (parallel) to the equipment guide ways within 0.005″

 

(0.127mm) on each end. Use gauge blocks and shims as necessary. Precise parallel

 

alignment of the motor to the equipment guideways is required. Align the stationary half

 

of the motor to the guideways. Then align the moving half with the stationary half.

 

When securing the primary to the equipment base do not allow the screws to penetrate

 

the motor more than .25″ deep (to prevent damage to the motor windings).

 

To mount the motor secondary, slide the table over the secondary and align the mounting

 

holes. The secondary is to be secured to the moving table with screws after the proper

 

amount of shims are added to maintain an air gap of .015″ min. to .020″ max. (unless

 

otherwise specified) between the secondary and the primary. This is achieved by

 

ensuring that the plastic shim provided does not bind anywhere over the length of the

 

primary when moving the table top with secondary back and forth by hand.

 

The plastic shim between the primary and the secondary can now be removed. Be sure

 

that the secondary is centered and runs parallel to the commutator to within .005″ at each

 

end.

Electrical Check:

With an ohmmeter across input terminals, verify that the resistance reading does not drop

 

to zero when the secondary / commutator assembly is moved over the entire length of the

 

stationary primary. If a zero reading is observed, inspect the connections between the

 

commutator brushes and the power input wires. In addition, inspect the connections

 

between the motor windings and the commutator bar.

Motor Removal:

Insert the plastic shim between the primary and secondary to maintain the air gap. First,

 

disconnect the power input wires. Next, remove the screws between the secondary and

 

the moving table as this allows the secondary to sit on the primary. Then remove the

 

mounting screws between the primary and the base. Finally, the complete motor

 

assembly can be removed and placed on a level, flat surface.

Secondary Removal:

If just the secondary must be removed,slide the table with the secondary attached, to one

 

end of the primary. Insert a .015″ minimum plastic shim between the secondary and the

 

primary to maintain the air gap. Remove the screws between the secondary and the

 

sliding table. Move the table out of the way and slide the secondary out using extreme

 

caution so as to not damage the brushes. If brushes are worn out, contact Northern

 

Magnetics for replacement.

Secondary Reinstallation: Place .015″ minimum plastic shim on primary face. Next place .015″ min fiberglass shims on the brush assembly and completely depress the brushes into their holders. With the brushes toward the commutator bars, slide the secondary onto the primary face (with the shim in place). When the secondary is in place, gently remove the shim from between the brushes and commutator bars.

Note: Ensure that the shim between commutator and brushes has rounded ends and that they do not cut the leads to the commutator bars.

Refer to “Mounting” instructions to reinstall.
