Three-phase AC servo motors are widely used, but after long-term operation, various failures will occur. To determine the cause of the failure in time and deal with it accordingly is an important task to prevent the expansion of the failure and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Ⅰ. Motor encoder alarm

1. Reasons for failure

①Wiring error;

②Electromagnetic interference;

③Encoder hardware damage caused by mechanical vibration;

④Pollution caused by the on-site environment;

2, troubleshooting

①Check the wiring and eliminate errors;

②Check whether the shielding is in place, check whether the wiring is reasonable and solve it, if necessary, add a filter to improve it;

3. Installation and wiring standards

①Try to use the original cable;

②Separate the cable to keep it away from the contaminated wiring as far as possible, especially the highly contaminated wiring;

③Always use the internal power supply as much as possible. If you use a switching power supply, you should use a filter to ensure that the power supply reaches the cleanliness level;

④ Always ground the common terminal;

⑤Keep the encoder shell insulated from the machine structure and connect it to the cable shielding layer;

⑥If the encoder cannot be insulated, the cable shield can be connected to the ground (or dedicated terminal) on the encoder housing and the drive frame.

Ⅵ. The motor can't rotate after power on, but there is no abnormal noise, no strange smell and smoke?

1. Reasons for failure

①The power supply is not connected (at least two phases are not connected);

②The fuse is blown (at least two phases are blown);

③The overcurrent relay is adjusted too small;

④The wiring of the control equipment is wrong.

2, troubleshooting

①Check whether there are breakpoints at the power circuit switch, fuse, and junction box, and repair it;

②Check the fuse type, the cause of fusing, and replace it with a new one;

1. Reasons for failure

①The bearing clearance is too large due to wear;

②Uneven air gap;

③The rotor is unbalanced;

④The shaft is bent;

⑤The coaxiality of the coupling (pulley) is too low.

2, troubleshooting

①Check the bearing and replace if necessary;

②Adjust the air gap to make it uniform;

③Correct the rotor dynamic balance;

④Straighten the shaft;

⑤Recalibrate to make it meet the requirements.

Ⅷ. The motor does not rotate and there is a buzzing sound after power-on

1. Reasons for failure

①The rotor winding has an open circuit (one-phase disconnection) or one phase of the power supply loses power;

②The beginning and end of the winding lead wire is connected wrongly or the winding is connected reversely;

③The power circuit contacts are loose and the contact resistance is large;

④The motor load is too large or the rotor is stuck;

⑤The power supply voltage is too low;

⑥The small motor assembly is too tight or the grease in the bearing is too hard;

⑦The bearing is stuck.

2, troubleshooting

①Find the breakpoint and fix it;

③Tighten the loose wiring screws, use a multimeter to judge whether each connector is falsely connected, and repair it;

⑤Check if the specified surface connection method is wrongly connected; if the voltage drop is too large due to the power wire is too thin, correct it;

⑥Reassemble to make it flexible; replace qualified grease;

⑦Repair the bearing.

Ⅸ. he bearing is overheated?

1. Reasons for failure

①Too much or too little grease;
