Step Response of the Servomotor AKM53H-ACG2C-01 Transfer Function | 17 Mar 2017 | |

Step Response of the Servomotor AKM53H-ACG2C-01 Transfer Function

Hi, I would like get the step response in open loop  of the servomotor AKM53H-ACG2C-01 transfer function, i did some simulations but de response that i got was underdamped, the dates that i using are:

kt = 1.75           %N-m/Arms
ke=112             %V/Krpm = 1.0695 V/[rad/s]
Rm = 2.1;         %Ohms
L = 11.413e-3;  %Henry
Jm = 9.12;        %kg-cm^2 = 9.1200e-04 kg-m^2 = 9.1513152e^-04 N-m-s^2
kdv=0.052;      %N-m/Krpm  = 4.9656e-04 N-m/[rad/s]

Because the response wasn´t overdamped or critically damped if the dates are ideals?.

The figures are attached, i am using the software Matlab Simulink.

Your step response looks fairly normal for a servo system that is not tuned perfectly. Again, we don't have any step response data for a motor by itself. In a real-world application, we would connect the motor to a drive and tune the control loops in the drive to get the response that we want, whether over-damped or under-damped. Typically, we like to have some velocity overshoot in order to get good motor performance, but it depends on the loads and motion requirements of each application.

Are you only wanting theoretical information, or are you trying to tune a servo system? We don't provide any step response or frequency response data for our motors. However, if you have one of our AKD servo drives, you can run a bode plot to see the frequency response. Can you be more specific about what you are asking for and why?

I only wanting theoretical information about the response underdamped that got with the parameters of the servomotor, because it oscillates at the beginning of the step?
