Case Study on Measures to Prevent Excessive Motor Temperature Rise on Dispensers (Filling equipment)

Reducing the Motor Temperature

Conventional Equipment

A piece of equipment that uses a stepper motor to exhaust a constant and accurate amount of liquid.

Application

Dispensing of solutions, paints, adhesives, etc.

Conventional Problems

• The heat generated by the motor is transmitted to the load, changing the viscosity and properties of the liquid, resulting in unstable quality

αSTEP
Reduced Heat Generation via High Efficiency Motors

The use of αSTEP with a high efficiency motor solves problems caused by temperature and offers more consistent quality.

Specific Application Examples

High Efficiency Motors are Used to Reduce Heat Generation

The heat generated by the motor is caused by losses in the stator and rotor.
By optimizing the design and materials of the stator and rotor, αSTEP has significantly reduced heat generation.

Control Motor Temperature With Information Function

Equipped with an information function that allows you to receive an output power from the motor when the motor temperature reaches a desired value.^*
Set the output temperature in advance, and when that temperature is reached, information will be output. (Motor operation will continue)

• *Only some products have this feature. Refer to the αSTEP product pages for details.

Integrated Products With High Efficiency Motors and Mechanisms are Also Available

Compact electric cylinders equipped with αSTEP are available.
It is no longer necessary to design the transfer mechanism, reducing design and start-up time.

These mechanism-integrated products are introduced in each αSTEP product page.
