Other Supplier’s Motors
If you want to use a motor other than those recommended here, it must be a three phase mo-
tor with 120° commutation timing. The motor must also have an incremental encoder (index
signal is not required) with no fewer than 50 lines and no greater than 32,000 lines. The halls
and encoder must operate from +5VDC, 200 mA max (supplied by the BLU drive). The hall
signals may be single-ended or differential. We strongly recommend that the encoder have
differential line driver outputs, but single-ended may be acceptable if you use a shielded
cable.
If using other motors than AMP’s you will need a ferrite bead on each motor lead, with the
wire wrapped several turns - please refer to the section on wiring ferrites, page 17, or call an
Applied Motion Products service representitive.
The BLU servo drives feature sine commutation, which makes motors run more smoothly
than trapezoidal drives. If you choose a low cost motor with internal hall effect devices in-
stead of a quality motor with precision commutation tracks on the encoder disk, your perfor-
mance may suffer.
