Re: A really fast Gecko
It's obviously a pointless stunt as presented. At 24VDC the motor was
developing 55W and most of that energy went into accelerating and decelerating the screw. At 75VDC I was getting 2.5 meters/sec (100 IPS) but it was hurting the stage by being beyond the screw's critical RPM. No video on that because I didn't want to repeat it numerous times. What matters is the stage is going to be equipped with rate-damped compression spring loads next. This will be to test and run data on the "unstallable stepper project" algorithms for when a closed-loop stepper runs into a load beyond what it can sustain at the programmed velocity rate. This was all fun in videoing what the axis can comfortably do at moderate speeds. Next comes dealing with the adaptive algorithms which are supposed to slow the G100 down during high-speed overloads.

Re: A really fast Gecko
Not so sure you want that:-)
In the previous run I had the G201 cranked up to 75VDC; the motor develops 165W+ at that voltage. On the 1-TPI screw it developed 22lbs (10kg) thrust at 10 meters/min. It took a nice gouge out of my thumb, the kind it takes super-glue to close up and stop the bleeding. Furthermore I had a brick instead of the "action figure" as the load. The brick was duct-taped to the stage; it flew off and destroyed my PC keyboard upon the 2-G deceleration I had programmed. I decided to play it safe one bloody thumb and and new keyboard later when I ran the video. I hit the mouse key to start things and it darn near took another bite out of me. Deleted cussing ensued. Moral: Stay clear of fast-moving stuff unless you want to shed a little unplanned blood.

A really fast Gecko
Hi,
Cross-posted from the geckodrive group. I thought people here might be interested in it. -------------------------------------- I uploaded a short video that has an axis tooling along at 3,932 IPM. Please go to: Then pick 3900IPM.avi. Please download and save; view it from your hard drive instead of selecting "open". This will save on bandwidth and not irritate our webmaster.:-) Video: 16 seconds, 1.234MB, 720 X 480 format, encoded using DivX 6.0, no audio; had to remove it because I swore when I nearly got nicked by the axis. The average velocity is 51.4"/sec if accel/decel is included. The velocity 65.535"/sec after accel, before decel. The motor is an MCG IH230014 run in parallel at 3A/phase, 24VDC supply, PID closed-loop on the G100 driving a stock-standard G201. The distance in each direction is 20.000" Motor speed is 3,932.10 RPM, screw is 1"/turn, well oiled to keep from overheating.:-) Metric: Avg velocity: 1.306 meters/sec. (7,836mm/min) Peak velocity: 1.666 meters/sec. (10,000mm/min) Distance: 0.508 meters in each direction. I'll leave the video up one week, then I'll take it down. Enjoy. Mariss |

One more comment on using Radio Control motors and speed controls for small milling spindle motors. Remember that these motors are designed to be air cooled by the planes speed through the air it flys in and from the prop blast. No experience here but I would be sure to provide a lot of cooling to the motor if run on a stationary system. Rare earth magnets do strange things when they get too hot. RC hobby propulsion systems are at best an intermittent use with cooling cycles, ie. when the batteries are exhausted you are going to land / pit stop and change batteries. BTW From an electrical view there is not much difference between a brushless RC motor controller and a VFD except for the power source and the voltage & current capacity and some of the RC brushless ESCs now handle 100 amps and up.

An inrunner has the windings on the outside and the rotor spins inside them. An outrunner has a bell shaped rotor and the windings are inside it. This means that the majority of the casing actually rotates so you have to be careful to make sure nothing touches it.

An inrunner can be sealed and in general achieves high speed with relatively low torque. An outrunner runs at lower speed but has more torque. This makes them popular with electric flight people as they can do away with having a reduction gearbox. Most r/c brushless motors have a KV rating. This is the speed per volt. For instance a KV of 2000 will give approximately 14000 RPM no-load speed at 7.2V Les guzakaka wrote: Nattyone960 thank you for bring this up. Can you or someone else explain to me the difference between an inrunner and an outrunner? Which would be best for a spindle? |
