Abstract
Choosing the right equipment in terms of price, performance and reliability, is one of the main challenges in the automation industry. Among these equipments, electric motors are the most important elements which are widely used in the industries. Electro motors selection is made according to certain rules and principles, and it is very important to know the governing conditions. Using amotor with less power than required will lead to system failure and a motor with much more power will result in extra costs. In this article, scientific selection of an electric motor for the bending process in an automation system has been discussed. Using real conditions of a manufacturer and available data in articles and books, the necessary relationships were extracted. 28 number of motors (among the available ones) were nominated in the first stage of preliminary monitoring. Then, by applying other prevailing conditions and characteristics, 3 motors with different powers selected for final investigations. Eventually, after using Simscape simulations & exerting less energy consumption criteria, the 5RK90GE-CW2ML2 motor (manufactured by Oriental Motor Company) was selected and was approved after satisfying the power, quality and safety conditions.
