Matching Fixed Supports to Servo Motors: Key Points

In automation equipment, matching the fixed support to the servo motor is critical to machine accuracy and stability. The key points are set out below.

Key Points

• Choose the right fixed support: select the support model to suit the screw specification and mounting method - BK, BF, EK and EF series are common - so that rigidity and stability are assured.

• Match motor parameters: choose a servo motor that suits the screw, considering power, speed and torque so the motor can meet the load and motion demand.

• Consider ratio and speed: calculate the ratio between screw and motor from the required speed and stroke, then choose a suitable gearbox or direct drive.

• Mind mounting accuracy: ensure alignment between screw, support and servo motor during installation; alignment error directly degrades machine performance.

• Maintenance: check the running condition of screw, support and motor regularly and replenish grease in time, so the machine stays stable over the long term.
