0605 / 1503 Servo Motor Series Manual 3
2.0 General Overview
This manual will cover both the Push orp 0605 and 1503 Series Servo Motors as
they share many common components. The 0605 and 1503 (motor) are capable of
continuously producing 5 and 3 horsepower, and spinning up to 6000 rpm and 15000
rpm respectively. The motors come in two models; a model SM0605 or SM1503
utilizing a manual collet, and a ST 0605-BT30 or ST 1503-BT30 automatic version
which allows changing out tools via a BT30 toolholder. These versions utilize
identical motor windings, and power amplifiers. Differing only in a few physical
dimensions and how they secure the media. Each of these motors provide a
convenient and effective means to spin and/or change any number of different media
types to support a fully automated workcell.
The Servo Manual (SM) models have a manually tightened collet that is a cost-
effective alternative to the automatic version. The “SM” models use the same motor
winding and housing as the automatic “ST ”, but without the automatic clamping
mechanism. The manual ollet is a standard ER-20 series collet designed to clamp a
½ inch (12.7 mm) diameter Toolholder. The user may choose different sized collets
in the ER-20 series, ranging from .031-.500 inch (1mm – 13mm).
The Servo Tool hanger (ST ) automatic tool-changing models, actuate
pneumatically to secure the BT30 style toolholder. They are comprised of four
primary components: a high-torque Servo Motor, a pneumatic actuator, high force
Belleville springs, and a component to clamp a Toolholder. The ST version uses a
drawbar to pull the ollet/Gripper in. High force Belleville springs located at the back
of the Servo Motor tension the drawbar. Actuating the large pneumatic actuator,
located in the lamping Housing, opens the ollet/Gripper. During pressurization the
cylinder contacts the Belleville springs and compresses them to drive the
ollet/Gripper out, releasing the Toolholder. There is no mechanism to forcibly eject
the Toolholder from the ollet, so gravity or a capturing mechanism must be used.
The ST models use a 30 taper to grip a standard BT30 toolholder. This design
locks the toolholder in the 30 tapered shaft and resists large pull out forces. The shaft
does not have locking keys, so motor indexing for tool change is not required. The
ST motors are fail-safe, in that no air pressure is required to hold the Toolholder.
Therefore, the Toolholder will remain held in the ollet/Gripper even when the air
pressure is un-expectantly lost. Likewise, applying air pressure to a single input port
via a simple manual or electrically operated valve opens the ollet/Gripper and
releases the Toolholder. The clever mechanical design always isolates the motor
bearings from the drawbar tension. This greatly improves reliability by allowing the
motor shaft to spin freely and never be subject to any clamping forces. All Push orp
motors use sealed bearings to ensure a long life. The bearings have additional
contamination protection from a Push orp proprietary contact shaft seal. This special
seal eliminates the need for constant purge air.
During operation the motor generates considerable heat due to the high torque and
compact size of the motor. Excessive operating temperatures will significantly reduce
the life of the motor. Water ooling is required to keep the unit within the internal
temperature operating range. The motor should never be allowed to exceed a
temperature of 176 F (80 ). ontinuously operating the unit above 176 F (80 )
will cause the rotor to de-magnetize and the bearings to fail. High temperatures will
