Drive Simulation

Problem analysis: Measure, simulate, calculate

In the simulation and interpretation of data, drive expertise plays a central role. Simulation engineers sample different variables:

Load cycle

Location of stress on motor

Is the load radial or axial?

What is the frequency?

What are the interactions between the different variables?

Also, not all forces can be measured on running machines. Only with simulation techniques can these values be calculated and included in the analysis. The FFT analysis is used for the evaluation of data: The FFT analysis breaks down a time signal into individual sine waves and in many areas allows for an optimization of rotating components or an assessment of the wear and tear. The aggregated time signal can then be examined for dominant frequencies. Only certain frequencies cause a dangerous build-up of the motor and are considered critical, while others are harmless. Full steam ahead with simulation: As a specialist with decades of experience in electrical drive technology, Baum��ller can model motors with all the relevant characteristics. Information on materials, contacts and connection types is included here. The simulation engineers consider components that are excluded from the analysis using remote mass with the relevant moments of inertia. Structural adaptations can thus be calculated, simulated and checked for their stability with the existing loads. This can be done without having to build and test a prototype.

Teamwork pays off. Early cooperation between machine builder and drive manufacturer is recommended for applications where problems commonly arise from process-related shocks or vibrations.
