4.1 Montering af motoren

The motor features two M3 threaded mounting holes on its face plate, spaced 18mm apart. Use appropriate M3 screws to secure the motor to your application's chassis or mounting bracket. Ensure the mounting is firm to prevent vibration and misalignment during operation.

4.2 Ledningsinstruktioner

The motor includes a 6-pin connector for both motor power and encoder signals. It is crucial to correctly identify each wire's function to ensure proper operation and prevent damage. Note: There have been reports of variations in wire color assignments. Always verify connections before applying power.

Figure 4: General wiring diagram for the gear motor and encoder. Verify with actual PCB markings if available.

Based on common configurations and user feedback, the wiring is typically as follows:

• Motoreffekt:
  • Rød: Motor Positive (+)
  • Hvid: Motor Negative (-)
• Encoder Signals:
  • Sort: Encoder Ground (GND)
  • Blå: Encoder Vcc (Positive supply, typically 3.3V to 5V, but Hall effect ICs can often handle up to 24V-30V with appropriate pull-up resistors)
  • Grøn: Hall Sensor A Output (Encoder Channel A)
  • Gul: Hall Sensor B Output (Encoder Channel B)

The A and B outputs of the Hall sensor are square waves, approximately 90° out of phase, providing quadrature encoding for direction and speed detection.

Important Note on Wiring Discrepancies:

Some users have reported variations in wire color mapping. If the motor does not function as expected, or if the encoder signals are incorrect, it is recommended to consult the markings on the encoder's PCB (Printed Circuit Board) if visible, or to test the connections carefully with a multimeter before applying full power. The PCB may have labels such as M1, M2 for motor, GND, VCC, C1, C2 for encoder.

5. Betjening

Once properly installed and wired, the motor can be controlled by applying a DC voltage within its specified range (6-24V) to the motor power leads (Red and White). The direction of rotation can be reversed by swapping the polarity of the motor power leads.

The integrated encoder provides feedback on the motor's rotation. By monitoring the square wave outputs from Hall Sensor A and B, you can determine the motor's speed and direction. This is typically done using a microcontroller or dedicated motor controller.

• Hastighedskontrol: Juster indgangsvolumentage (within the 6-24V range) or use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control the motor's speed.
• Retningskontrol: Reverse the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor leads.
• Encoder Usage: Connect the encoder outputs (Green, Yellow) to interrupt pins or a dedicated encoder interface on your microcontroller to count pulses and determine rotational position and velocity.

6. Vedligeholdelse

The uxcell gear motor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, adhering to the following guidelines can prolong its lifespan and ensure optimal performance:

• Hold rent: Regularly clean the motor's exterior to prevent dust and debris accumulation, especially around the shaft and ventilation points.
• Undgå overbelastning: Do not exceed the specified torque or current ratings to prevent overheating and premature wear of the motor and gearbox.
• Tjek forbindelser: Periodically inspect all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
• Miljøforhold: Operate the motor within its intended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive environments.
• Smøring: The gearbox is pre-lubricated. Avoid disassembling the gearbox unless absolutely necessary, as this can compromise its sealing and lubrication.
