Servo Motor Brake Mounting Member for Guided Cable-Safe Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The mounting process of special purpose servo motors with electromagnetic brakes is challenging due to difficulties in guiding the brake mechanism and passing power cables through the motor housing, often resulting in dislodged fixing members and damaged cables.
Innovation Solution
A special purpose servo motor design featuring a brake pull mechanism, a table with circular steps, a mounting member with an upside-down U-shaped slit, and a quadrangular prism motor casing with a hole, allowing for guided assembly and easy passage of power cables without damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the brake mechanism is guided to the brake gear using fixing members, then the brake mechanism can be positioned correctly, but the fixing members dislodge during the guiding process
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting member acts as an intermediary component between the brake mechanism and the motor housing. It provides a stable guiding structure with guide holes that accommodate fixing members throughout the entire assembly process, preventing dislodgement until the brake mechanism is properly positioned and secured.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting member is installed on the motor housing before the brake mechanism assembly begins. This preliminary action establishes the guiding structure in advance, ensuring that fixing members remain stable throughout the subsequent positioning and assembly operations.
2Ease of manufacture
If power cables are passed through the motor housing during brake mounting, then electrical connection is achieved, but the cables are crushed or damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting member serves as a mediator that coordinates the passage of power cables through dedicated cable passages. These passages are specifically designed to guide cables safely through the assembly process, preventing crushing or damage while maintaining ease of electrical connection.
Solution Approach 2:
Cable passages are pre-formed in the mounting member before assembly. This preliminary preparation ensures that cables can be routed safely through the designated paths during the mounting process, avoiding contact with crushing surfaces and preventing damage.
3Ease of manufacture
If the brake mechanism and brake pull mechanism are assembled separately, then each component can be manufactured independently, but the mounting process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting member serves as a central intermediary that receives both the brake mechanism and brake pull mechanism. It provides a unified assembly interface with multiple mounting holes and guiding features, enabling rapid integration of separately manufactured components into a complete assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting member performs multiple functions simultaneously: it guides the brake mechanism, positions the brake pull mechanism, secures both components with mounting holes, and provides cable passages. This multi-functionality consolidates several assembly operations into a single efficient process.
