The right drive solution for each and every task

Winding application with 1FW3 motors

Rotary swivel head positioning

with 1FW6 motors

The function, performance and accuracy of the electrical

components used as well as mechanical design are decisive in
determining the productivity and quality of the output from
machines and systems.
What's more, the drive concept also has a significant influence
on the life cycle costs of a machine.
When it comes to power density, direct drives are unsurpassed. They are therefore the ideal solution when maximum
dynamics and accuracy are required. In contrast to conventional motors, direct drives are integrated in the machine and
transmission elements such as gearing, leadscrews or toothed
belts, which are standard features of other drive types, can be
omitted. This arrangement ensures a high degree of control
stiffness and thus a good dynamic response and excellent
precision.
A further advantage is that direct drives take up far less space
in the machine.
Siemens offers two series of torque motors for high-precision
rotary axis applications. 1FW3 complete torque motors for
direct mounting on the machine, and 1FW6 built-in torque
motors for integration in the machine design.

The right drive solution for each and every task

Horizontal feed axis with 1FN3

When highly dynamic, highly precise linear axes are required,

our 1FN3 and 1FN6 linear motors are the obvious choice.
Built-in motors in the 1PH2 and 1FE1 series are specially
designed for application in machine tool spindles.
Due to the high level of integration of direct drives in the
machine, special attention must be paid to certain aspects, for
example, to storage and cooling, that are less important when
using conventional rotary servo motors.
Siemens offers not only the right direct drive for every task,
but also the necessary experience and advisory expertise for
supporting the user in planning integration of the drive in his
particular machine.
In addition to the standard motors described here, application-specific solutions can also be implemented on request.

1FN3 linear motor synchronous linear motor with magnetic

secondary section track

1FN6 linear motor synchronous linear motor with nonmagnetic

secondary section track

Overview
Linear motors are highly dynamic, high-precision motors for
linear traversing motions. Accordingly, linear motors are the
preferred motor type for use in applications with stringent
requirements in terms of productivity and accuracy. By virtue
of their design, however, linear motors are also extremely
robust, wear-resistant motors which are easy to maintain.
Siemens offers two different linear motor designs for different
application classes.

Operating principle
The diagram on the right shows the typical design of a traversing axis driven by a linear motor.

1FN3 motors are synchronous linear motors with an energized

primary section equipped with coils and a secondary section
equipped with permanent magnets. The high power density
of 1FN3 linear motors makes them particularly dynamic, precise and compact. The motors are generally liquid-cooled, but
can also operate with natural cooling when derating factors
are applied and design measures taken to ensure effective
heat dissipation.
1FN6 linear motors are also synchronous linear motors, but
have a nonmagnetic secondary section. They are available as
both naturally cooled and water-cooled variants. Due to their
inexpensive secondary section, 1FN6 linear motors are especially recommended for long traversing paths or for applications where a magnetic secondary section track would not be
desirable.

The secondary section is fixed (bolted) in the machine.

By mounting a number of secondary sections side by side, it is
in principle possible to create an optional length of secondary
section track. The primary section is mounted on a traversing
slide which moves on guide rails above the secondary section
track.
The current through the coils of the primary section is controlled in such a way as to produce a traveling magnetic field.
This interacts with the secondary section to generate a feedrate force which sets the traversing slide with the primary
section in a linear motion.
A linear position measuring system is installed on the machine
side alongside the secondary section track for sensing the current velocity and position.
In addition to this classic constellation, there is a wide variety
of possible combinations of primary and secondary sections,
for example, arrangements with fixed primary section and
moving secondary section, configurations with multiple
primary sections on one secondary section track as well as
gantry configurations.
Our mechatronics specialists will be pleased to give advice
on the best motor configuration for a specific application.
For standard applications in production machines, our partner
SKF Linear Motion stocks a fully assembled linear slide which
is equipped with a naturally cooled model of our 1FN3 linear
motor.

Design of a linear axis with linear motor

Fully assembled linear axis (type LTS) supplied by SKF, with built-in
naturally cooled 1FN3 motor helps machine builders get started in the
field of highly dynamic, highly precise linear technology.

Benefits and characteristics

Since mechanical power transmission elements and the
associated backlash and frictional losses are dispensed with,
linear motors boast the following characteristics:
Outstanding dynamic response
Very high traversing velocities
Extremely precise
Simple installation
Wear-free drive components
Enable a simple, compact machine design
High electrical efficiency

Thus, typical applications for linear motors are:

Machining centers
Turning machines
Grinding machines
Punching/cutting machines
Laser/water jet cutters
Machines for processing wood/glass/plastics
Interlinking, handling, robotics
Measuring machines
Printing
Electronics production (pick&place, bonders)

When suitable measuring systems and cooling methods are

employed, linear motors achieve a positioning accuracy in the
nanometer range.

With its inexpensive, nonmagnetic secondary section track,

the 1FN6 motor is also ideal for use in applications with long
traversing paths:
Chain conveyors, assembly and transfer lines
Handling gantries and robotics applications

Applications
1FN3 and 1FN6 linear motors are therefore ideally suited to all
applications that require high acceleration rates and velocities
for highly productive handling or machining of parts.

1FN3 and 1FN6 linear motors

Versions and options of 1FN3 linear motors

Different versions of the 1FN3 linear motor are available,
depending on the application you have in mind.
The primary section version for continuous load is recommended for machine axes with constant acceleration changes
(oscillating), with high process/weight forces or for operation
without water cooling.
For application profiles requiring high forces and acceleration
rates for brief periods, the peak load version of the primary
section is the perfect option.
The primary sections are designed as standard for water cooling. However, with the appropriate system design, natural
cooling is also possible in certain cases.
In order to keep heat transfer to a minimum in precision
applications, as an option both the primary and the secondary
sections can additionally be equipped with a precision cooler.
An optional cover for the secondary section makes the motors
extremely robust against mechanical influences.

Design of 1FN6 linear motors

The 1FN6 linear motors comprise a primary section that is
equipped with coils and permanent magnets and a nonmagnetic, toothed secondary section in which the intermediate
spaces are filled.
Sliding blocks are located on the top which are used to fix the
primary section to a moving slide fitted onto a guide rail. The
secondary section has sliding blocks underneath with threaded holes which are used to bolt it onto the machine.
By mounting individual secondary sections side by side, it is
possible to create an optional length of traversing path. The
only restrictions that apply are due to the maximum permissible cable lengths or the maximum lengths of the measuring
systems to be selected by the customer. A linear position
measuring system is installed on the machine side alongside
the secondary section track for sensing the position and
velocity.

Possible configurations of linear motors

The motors demonstrate extreme flexibility in terms of their
possible configurations: The classic single-sided arrangement
is used most frequently. Alternative options include the twotrack configuration or the arrangement of several primary
sections on one secondary section track. This increases the
force density or relieves the load on the linear guide.

Two primary sections on one secondary section track

Single-sided arrangement

If several primary sections are mounted in a machine, they can

be controlled by a variety of methods such as:
By operating multiple primary sections on one converter
using one position measuring signal
By splitting the position measuring signal among several
converters with one primary section each
By a separate position measuring signal for each converter with one primary section each.
The first two variants are the preferred options in cases where
there is a rigid mechanical coupling between the primary
sections. The last control variant allows the primary sections
to move completely independently of one another.

Two-track arrangement (gantry)

System integration
Linear motors of the 1FN3 and 1FN6 series merge perfectly
into the system landscape of the SINAMICS S120 drive system.
Thanks to the plug connector mounted on the front, the preassembled power and signal cables mean that the drive is
ready to use in the shortest time possible.

Torque motors
Direct drives for rotary axes

1FW3 complete torque motor

1FW6 built-in torque motor

Overview
Torque motors are direct drives for rotary axes with which precision and force are required at relatively low speeds. Because
their maintenance and space requirements are minimal, they
are often used as an alternative to geared motors.
Siemens offers two different motor types for these types of
application. The 1FW3 torque motor is a complete torque
motor which, mechanically speaking, needs only to be flangemounted to the machine and the rotor connected to the
machine shaft.
1FW6 torque motors are built-in motors. The stator and rotor
can be supplied as individual components and integrated
directly in the machine. They are available with jacket cooling
or an integrated cooling system.
Built-in torque motors must be precisely integrated into the
machine. Our mechatronics experts will be happy to advise
and support you in finding the right arrangement for your
application and with integration in the machine.
Both motor types feature a large hollow bore. The motor can
therefore be pushed onto the machine shaft. Alternatively,
media or mechanical components can be guided through the
cavity in the rotor.

Benefits and characteristics

Thanks to the large number of poles, and because mechanical
transmission elements and the associated backlash and
frictional losses are dispensed with, torque motors boast the
following characteristics:
High torque
Excellent rotational accuracy
High acceleration capability
Space-saving design
Low maintenance
High efficiency

Operating principle
The 1FW3 and 1FW6 torque motors are synchronous motors,
which basically operate in a comparable manner to rotary synchronous servo motors. Consequently, the rotor is equipped
with permanent magnets, and the stator contains the motor
windings. The multi-pole design of the windings endows the
motor with maximum torques at low speeds. For speed and
position control, the 1FW3 motor has a built-in shaft encoder;
this must be fitted to the machine for 1FW6 motors.
The torque motors are water-cooled as standard in order to
achieve a high power density. This cooling method also reduces the amount of heat transferred into the machine.

Applications
Torque motors are ideally suited to the precise operation of
rotary axes when high torques are required.
1FW6 built-in torque motors are used, for example, in machine
tools for

rotary tables
swivel axes
fork heads
rotary indexing tables
tool turrets
lathe spindles

1FW3 complete torque motors are used, for example, in production machines for
main drives for extruders
worms for injection molding machines
roller drives for paper machines
winders for packaging and paper machines
handling and assembly systems

Built-in motors for spindles

1PH2 built-in asynchronous motor

1FE1 synchronous built-in motor

Overview
Users who produce their own motor spindles can obtain the
right built-in motor from Siemens. These motors are characterized by their compact design, ruggedness, superior precision and accuracy.

Benefits and characteristics

Because mechanical power transmission elements (belts,
gears) and the resulting backlash are dispensed with, built-in
motors boast the following characteristics:
Excellent quality of surface finish
High acceleration capability
High rigidity thanks to compact design
Free of wear
High efficiency

Siemens offers three different types of built-in motors for

motor spindles:
The 1PH2 built-in asynchronous motor is employed as
a compact, standard built-in motor for lathe and
grinding-wheel spindles with maximum speeds of up to
10,000 rpm.
The "High Torque" version of the 1FE1 motor is characterized by very high torques, and achieves peak speeds
of 18,000 rpm.
The "High Speed" version of the 1FE1 motor is characterized by very fast acceleration rates, and achieves peak
speeds of 40,000 rpm.

Applications
Our built-in motors are ideal for use in motor spindles for
machine tools:
1PH2 motors for grinding-wheel and lathe spindles
1FE1 motors for lathe, grinding-wheel and milling
spindles

Principle of operation, design

The 1PH2 motor is asynchronous. The rotor, which is the
squirrel-cage type, and the stator, which is equipped with
windings, are delivered as components, which the engineer
combines to form a motor spindle that he then installs in
the machine.
The same applies to 1FE1 motors. However, unlike the 1PH2
version, they are synchronous, with a rotor that is equipped
with permanent magnets.
With all these motors, water cooling is used to dissipate the
heat. The position is sensed by external encoders, and most
commonly with a SIMAG H2 hollow shaft measuring system in
the case of the 1PH2 motor.

Mechatronic support for direct drives

Overview
Direct drives demand new solutions in the mechanical design
of motors and the selection of new system components.
Traditional complete motors have a clearly defined interface
to the machine. In contrast, direct drives in the form of builtin motors require the motor and encoder to be integrated
mechanically into the machine. Specially trained consultants
(mechatronic experts) are ready to provide you with the
support you need in designing a direct drive.
Our "Mechatronic Support" service offers an additional bonus.
Even while a machine is at the design stage, this service
models and optimizes all the mechanical, electronic and information technology systems included in the design for their
functionality within the overall drive before they are implemented for real. Mechatronic Support is thus the intelligent
alternative to "trial and error". Innovative machine concepts
are mutually compared, modified and optimized at the outset
a process which of course also takes account of your ideas
for new mechatronic components.

Scope of services
Support during machine development, from conception to
machine acceptance:
Comparison and analysis of machine concepts with
regard to static and dynamic precision, control loop
dynamics and rigidity
Mechatronic modeling and machine simulation
(Finite Element methods)
Computer-aided optimization of machine structures
Optimum dimensioning of all motor and control loop
components
Commissioning and control loop optimization
Analysis and optimization of existing tool and production machines on site
How you benefit from our Mechatronic Support:
Shorter development times quicker to market
Reliable achievement of development objectives
Risk-free testing of innovative machine concepts
Higher quality and productivity from the outset

During this phase, our Mechatronic Support specialists offer

you a comprehensive range of services to ensure that you can
achieve development objectives within specified requirements.
