Selecting step by step

We will walk you through every step of setting up a servo drive system, from choosing the best servomotor for your needs to selecting the best servo converter, cables, and connectors.

Step 1: The ideal servomotor

1. SIMOTICS S-1FK2 servomotors – the dynamic and compact solution

When paired with a SINAMICS S210 servo converter in a drive system, SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 servomotors offer quick control and positioning times, accurate and quick control response to disturbances, and stable closed control with excellent dynamic performance.

Two versions of servomotors are available, depending on the particular application:

• SIMOTICS S-1FK2 High Dynamic: Highest dynamic response through low inertia for highly dynamic applications with low moved masses.
• SIMOTICS S-1FK2 Compact: Precise, stable control with medium to high masses to be moved with a medium moment of inertia.

Advantages

• Highest dynamic response as a result of the low rotor intrinsic inertia and the high overload capability
• Space-saving design as a result of the optimized frame size with a high power density
• High precision as a result of the high-resolution 22-bit single turn or multiturn absolute encoder
• High IP64 degree of protection of the motor – can be optionally increased to IP65

2. SIMOTICS S-1FT2servomotors – the optimizable motor solution

More options are available with the SIMOTICS S-1FT2 servo motor to better address the various driving technology issues. Encoders possessing a high resolution of up to 26 bits, for instance, enhance the precision of the system. A higher level of protection up to IP67 as well as different motor paint finishes are possible for usage in tough locations. There are also new machine options available, like faster-rated speeds. There are two variants of the SIMOTICS S-1FT2 servo motor: the Compact moment of inertia and the high-dynamic version. For applications requiring a high dynamic performance with low masses to be moved, the High Dynamic version provides a maximum dynamic response because to a low intrinsic inertia. The Compact variant features impressive and precise, stable closed-loop control of medium to high masses to be moved with a medium intrinsic moment of inertia.

• Highest accuracy using singleturn or multiturn absolute encoders with resolutions of up to 26 bits
• More robust in harsh and humid environments thanks to the motor’s expandable degree of protection up to IP67 and various coating options.
• Greater variety of winding designs compared to SIMOTICS S-1FK2 for higher speeds
• Highest dynamic response as a result of the low rotor intrinsic inertia and the high overload capability
• Space-saving design as a result of the optimized frame size with a high power density

3. SIMOTICS S-1FS2 Hygienic design servomotor – the solution for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries

When regular SIMOTICS S-1FK2 and S-1FT2 servomotors are insufficient for certain applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors, or in plants and systems, SIMOTICS S-1FS2 servomotors supplement the motor portfolio for the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system. This line of stainless steel motors is suitable for use in extremely hygienic settings. It comes in four different sizes, ranging from 0.45 to 2 kW in power and 3.1 to 23.5 Nm in torque.

• High IP66 / IP67 degree of protection for the complete motor, IP69k (30 bar) motor housing
• Suitable for cleaning in-place processes (CIP) using commercially available cleaning agents
• Meets the requirements of the pharmaceutical and food industry: 1.4404 stainless steel enclosure, EPDM seals, bearing grease with NSF H1 approval

4. SIMOTICS S-1FK2 and S-1FT2 planetary servo gearmotors – the pre-assembled geared motor solution

• Gearbox NRB/NRBW
  The NRB(W) is the lightest gearbox with the highest power density. As a result of its low-friction bearing design, it has a low intrinsic temperature rise and is suitable for high speeds.
• Gearbox NRK / NRKW
  As a result of their large output bearings, NRK(W) gearboxes are suitable for higher radial and axial forces. Thanks to their low inner friction, these gearboxes are also suitable for higher speeds.
• Gearbox NLC / NLCW
  As a result of their pretensioned tapered rolling bearings, the NLC(W) gearbox has a high degree of stiffness, and is the perfect choice for high radial and axial load levels. These gearboxes are protected against dust and water thanks to their IP65 sealing system.

Advantages

• Optimum adaptation of the torque-speed or the mass moment of inertia relationship between the motor and load
• Pre-assembled, tested and ready-to-run servo geared motor solutions

5. The coupling adapter SIMOGEAR KS – Adapter – the flexible connection between gearboxes and servomotors

In addition to SIMOTICS S-1FK2 servomotors with planetary gearboxes, the coupling adapter SIMOGEAR KS-Adapter provides an additional flexible solution to connect various SIMOGEAR gearbox units with SIMOTICS servomotors of the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system.
