Thomson 4. Installation 4.1 Product label The product label can be found on the side of the motor case. It will tell you the model of the linear system and the manufactured date. Please review the product label to determine linear system type before starting any installation or service of the linear system. If you need any assistance from Thomson, please provide the part number and the manufacturing date of the linear system(s) in question. 4.2 Terminology a. lead wires b. stepper motor c.
Thomson 4.3 Operation environment Min. -4° F (-20° C) Max. +122° F (+50° C) IP40 1. Operation temperature range is -4 to +122° Fahrenheit (-20 to 50° Celsius). 2. Protection degree against ingress of water and particles is IP40. 3. Max non-condensing humidity is 85%. 4.4 Mechanical installation 4.4.1 General installation safety notes • Never work on the linear system with the power switched on. • Keep hands clear while the unit is energized.
Thomson 4.4.4 Mounting of CLSH and CLSV units 1. The mounting holes are situated in the guide rail. Their exact position and dimensions depend on the size of the profile rail and can be found in the table below. 2. The first mounting hole (Y) on the motor side has a positional tolerance of ± 1.0 mm from the end of the guide rail. 2. The positional tolerance between the rest of the mounting holes (X) are 0.5 mm. 5.
Thomson 4.5 Electrical installation 4.5.1 General notes • Make sure the leads/cables leading to the motor can handle the maximum motor current. • Do not exceed the peak current of the motor. Peak current is 1.41 × RMS current. • An emergency stop is recommended to reduce the chance of a crushing hazard. • Never work on the linear system or the wiring with the power switched on. 4.5.
Thomson 4.6 Stepper motor control 4.6.1 Driving the stepper motor There are many possible ways to drive a stepper motor. The most common way is to use a constant current or “chopper” drive. A chopper drive works by limiting the current into the stepper motor and “chopping” the voltage, allowing for maximum torque output from the motor. When using this type of drive, it is important to input the appropriate amount of current to maximize torque output and prevent damage to the motor.
