1.5 MOTOR ARRANGEMENT AND DRIVING METHODS
1.5.1 Serial Arrangement and Symmetrical Arrangement
One feature of Dis series motors is that multiple motors can be
installed in one axis. For example, when the torque obtained by one
motor is insufficient, two motors can be arranged along the same axis
o ensure the double torque. t
NOTE
There are rules for the orientation and position of a
motor always when using Dis series motors.
For details of installation, see Part III, "HANDLING,
DESIGN, AND INSTALLATION."
Serial arrangement
Two or more Dis series motors are arranged in serial. It is very
difficult to arrange by using a ball screw and a general rotation motor.
The following figure shows an example of arranging two Dis series
otors in serial: m
Symmetrical arrangement
For an axis with long shaft, two Dis series motors can be placed as
ollows. f
