MP-Series Heavy Duty Electric Cylinder

(MPAI-A3150CM32A is shown)

About the MP-Series Heavy Duty Electric Cylinders

MP-Series™ electric cylinders feature multi-turn high resolution encoders and are available with 24V DC brakes. The MP-Series motor drives a ball screw or roller screw that converts rotary motion into linear movement. The linear motion extends or retracts the thrust rod within the electric cylinder housing.

The MP-A/Bxxxxxx2x electric cylinders are non-braking. When there is no input torque, the thrust rod can be moved freely. To achieve self-locking of your motion system, use an electric cylinder with an integrated brake (catalog number MPAI-A/Bxxxxxx4x).

The MP-Series electric cylinders have been designed for exact positioning at high speeds.

Before You Begin

Remove all packing materials from within and around the item. After unpacking, verify the nameplate catalog number against the purchase order.

1. Remove the polyethylene foam cushioning.

2. Remove the electric cylinder carefully from its shipping container.

Consider the weight of the electric cylinder. Depending on the design, the electric cylinder can weigh up to 49 kg (108 lb).

Do not rotate the thrust rod. Rotating the thrust rod will cause the home position to be lost.

ATT EN TI ON : Elec tric cylinders that exceed 23 kg (51 lb) require a two man lift. Do not lift the electric cylinder by the thrust rod.

ATT EN TI ON : Do not rotate the thrust rod. Rotating the thrust rod will cause the factory set home position to be lost and require the electric cylinder be homed before its initial use.

3. Visually inspect the electric cylinder for damage.

Closely examine the mounting surface, frame, and thrust rod for defects.

4. Notify the carrier of shipping damage immediately.

ATT EN TI ON : Do not attempt to open and modify the electric cylinder beyond changing motor connector orientation as described on page 16 described on page 12. Only a qualified Allen-Bradley employee can service the internal working of the electric cylinder. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

Planning Your Installation

Refer to the Kinetix® Motion Control Selection Guide, publication GMC-SG001, for the specifications and additional products referenced in this section:

• This product can be operated in compliance with the relevant safety regulations, only if

the maximum loading limits are observed.

ATT EN TI ON : The electric cylinder is not intended to be used in applications where side-loading occurs. Loads must be guided and supported. Aligned load with the line-of-motion of the thrust rod. Side loading will reduce the lifetime of the electric cylinder.

Rockwell Automation Publication MPAI-IN001E-EN-P - March 2012

MP-Series Heavy Duty Electric Cylinders 7

• If you are mounting your electric cylinder in a vertical or sloping position, include safety

measures that will control the work load, should the spindle nut fail.

ATT EN TIO N: Uncontrolled moving masses can cause injury or damage to property. If there is a spindle nut fracture inside the actuator cylinder due to wear, the working mass will drop down. Check whether additional external safety measures are required to prevent damage in the event of a spindle nut fracture.

• Keep the rod from rotating when in use to achieve consistent linear motion. In most

applications the connection to the load inherently provides anti-rotation. If your work load is free to rotate when the actuator is attached use the anti-rotate option, catalog MPAI-NEx02xx, to prevent rotation.

• Corrosive environments reduce the service life of electric cylinders.

• Where possible, install the electric cylinder with the grease fitting facing up. This will

reduce the residual grease from falling or dripping on your application.

• Factory-manufactured feedback and power cables are available in standard cable lengths.

They provide environmental sealing and shield termination. Contact your Allen-Bradley® sales office or refer to the Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide, publication GMC-SG001, for additional information.

Prolonging Electric Cylinder Life

Thoughtful design and proper maintenance can increase the life of an electric cylinder. Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of a electric cylinder especially within a food processing environment:

• Always provide a drip loop in each cable to carry liquids away from the connection to the

motor.

• If design requirements permit, provide shields that protect the motor housing, thrust

rod, seals, and their junctions from contamination by foreign matter or fluids.

• Replace the thrust rod seals at or before its expected lifetime of 12-months.

Refer to page

59 for catalog information on thrust rod seals.

• Inspect the seals for damage or wear on a regular basis. If damage or excessive wear is

observed, replace the item.

IMPORTANT

Electric Cylinders with Brake Option

The brake option on this servo motor is a spring-set holding brake that releases when voltage is applied to the brake coil. A separate power source is required to disengage the brake. This power source can be applied by a servo motor controller or manual operator control.

If system main power fails, holding brakes can withstand occasional use as stopping brakes. However, this creates rotational mechanical backlash that is potentially damaging to the system, increases brake wear, and reduces brake life.

An unpowered electric cylinder will require a brake to maintain its position if the force on the actuator exceeds the Back Drive Force listed in Kinetix Linear Motion Specifications Technical Data, publication GMC-TD002.

A brake can be use with the actuator to keep it from backdriving, typically in vertical applications. A brake may be used for safety reasons or for energy savings allowing the actuator to hold position when unpowered.

Holding brakes are not designed to stop rotation of the motor shaft, nor are they intended to be used as a safety device. They are designed to hold a motor shaft at 0 rpm for up to the rated brake holding torque.

The recommended method of preventing motor shaft rotation is a four step process: first, command the servo drive to 0 rpm; second, verify the motor is at 0 rpm; third, engage the brake; and fourth, disable the drive.

Disabling the drive removes the potential for brake wear caused by a badly-tuned servo system oscillating the shaft.

Preventing Electrical Noise

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), commonly called electrical noise, can reduce motor performance. Effective techniques to counter EMI include filtering the AC power, by using shielded cables, separating signal cables from power wiring, and practicing good grounding techniques.

Follow these guidelines to avoid the effects of EMI:

• Isolate the power transformers or install line filters on all AC input power lines.

• Physically separate signal cables from motor cabling and power wiring. Do not route

signal cables with motor and power wires, or over the vent openings of servo drives.

• Ground all equipment by using a single-point parallel ground system that employs

ground bus bars or large straps. If necessary, use additional electrical noise reduction techniques to reduce EMI in noisy environments.

Refer to System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual, publication

GMC-RM001

, for additional information on reducing the effects of EMI.

MP-Series Heavy Duty Electric Cylinders 9

Build and Route Cables

Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves system electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

To build and install cables, perform these steps.

1. Keep wire lengths as short as physically possible.

2. Route signal cables (encoder or serial) away from motor and power wiring.

3. Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel run.

4. Ground both ends of the encoder cable shield and twist the signal wire pairs to prevent

electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment.

ATTENTION: High voltage can be present on the shield of a power cable, if the shield is not grounded. Make sure there is a connection to ground for any power cable shield. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

Install the Electric Cylinder

The installation must comply with all local regulations and use of equipment and installation practices that promote electromagnetic compatibility and safety.

ATTENTION: Unmounted electric cylinders, disconnected mechanical couplings, and disconnected cables are dangerous if power is applied. Appropriately identify (tag-out) disassembled equipment, and restrict (lock-out) access to electrical power. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury.

Follow these steps to prepare the electric cylinder for installation on the machine.

1. Provide sufficient clearances in the area of the electric cylinder for it to stay within its specified operating temperature range.

Refer to Specifications the electric cylinder unless forced air is blown across the electric cylinder for cooling. Keep other heat producing devices away from the electric cylinder.

2. Make sure the mounting surface supports the electric cylinder evenly so that it is free of mechanical stress and distortion.

Follow these steps to mount the electric cylinder on the machine.

1. Verify the mounting surface flatness.

The mounting surface must be flat or shimmed flat to the mounting surface of the electric cylinder within 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) to avoid distortion and damage to the actuator housing.

2. Install and evenly tighten the steel fasteners so the electric cylinder is securely mounted on the machine before thrust rod alignment is performed.

3. Align the electric cylinder as shown in the diagram and described below.

Align the thrust rod of the electric cylinder parallel to the load supporting bearing system in both flatness and straightness within these specifications:

• With thrust rod extended <0.254 mm (0.010 in.) parallel to the load guides.

• With thrust rod retracted <0.127 mm (0.005 in.) parallel to the load guides.

Groove reserved for quick-lock plug.

Backshell Seal Inside Feedback and Power/Brake Connector Housing

Verify Connector O-ring and Backshell Seal

An O-ring on the feedback connector, and a backshell seal on the feedback and power/brake connectors are necessary to achieve the maximum environmental rating. Verify the seal and O-rings are installed as described.

Location Verify

• An O-ring is mounted on the external surface of the

feedback connector and the power/brake connector.

• The O-ring is undamaged, not twisted, and rests in the

groove near the rear of the connector.

• A backshell seal covers the joint inside the feedback and

power/brake housings. It seals the joint between the backshell and the housing of the connector.

• The backshell seal is undamaged, and it is fully seated

against the face of the backshell.

Attach Motor Cables

Use this procedure to attach the power and feedback cables after the electric cylinder is mounted.

1. Carefully align each cable connector with the respective motor connector as shown in the diagram.

ATT EN TI ON : Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-tightened the recommended number of turns. Improper connector alignment is indicated by the need for excessive force to seat connectors. For example, the need to use tools to fully seat connectors. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to equipment.

ATT EN TI ON : When installing a threaded DIN cable with an M4 designation, an O-ring must be installed in the groove immediately adjacent to the body of the motor connector. This O-ring dampens the effects of vibration at the cable-to-motor connection. Cables requiring O-rings include 2090-XXNPMF-xxSxx or 2090-CPxM4DF-xxAFxx power cables, and 2090-CFBM4DF-CDAFxx feedback cable. Continuous flex cables with a SpeedTec DIN connector have an M7 designation.

2. Fully seat the feedback connector and the power/brake connector.

• Hand tighten the collar of a threaded (M4) connector five or six turns.

ATTENTION: Make sure cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexing at the cable connectors. Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors may result in the connector’s environmental seal opening and closing as the cable flexes. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the electric cylinder motor and its components.

3. Form a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids away from the connectors.

4. Verify the continuity and functionality of the thermal switch signals, TS+ and TS-.

These signals are transmitted through the feedback cable that connects the motor to its controlling drive.

Front (rod side of actuator)

Change Connector Orientation

You can rotate the circular DIN connector housings up to 270° in either direction.

ATTENTION: For actuators with food grade white paint, consider rerouting cables instead of rotating the connectors. Rotation of the connectors interrupts continuity of the white paint across the rotation joint. This might allow foreign material in and start corrosion. If you must rotate the connectors, consider applying food grade RTV to the joint to assist in corrosion protection.

ATTENTION: You can rotate the connectors into a fixed position during installation of the electric cylinder and remain in that position without further adjustment. Strictly limit the applied forces and the number of times the connector is rotated to be sure that connectors meet the requirements of IP67 for the motor portion of the electric cylinder. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and its components.

Follow these steps to rotate the DIN connectors.

1. Mount and fully seat a mating cable on the connector.

2. Grasp the connector and the cable plug by their housings and slowly rotate them to the

outside of the motor.

If necessary, repeat these steps for the other connector (feedback or power/brake).

ATT EN TIO N: Only apply force to the connectors; do not apply force to the cable. Do not use tools (for example, pliers and vise-grips) to assist with the rotation of the connector. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
