torque and speed control

Dial gauge to confirm displacement and verticality

Encoder and VFD to read and control speed

LCD Display of RPM and time elapsed

Safety: belt guard, polycarbonate guards, E-stop

Encoder Selection: TRD-S100-VD

Inexpensive incremental (quadrature)

encoder

Capable of sending (depending on exact

model) 100-1024 pulses per revolution

Speed of motor can be determined based on

number of pulses received and time elapsed

Hardware allows for maximum of 6000 RPM

– well above 2000 RPM expected

Micro-Controller

Firsthand objective: proof of concept

TI Launchpad

Comes pre-equipped with on-board emulation and simple

outputs for ease of testing & debugging

Control procedure can be implemented using pseudo-inputs

and pseudo-outputs to prove feasibility of concept

In final design encoder sends signal to controller, which is

interpreted and fed in through VFD for feedback

After concept is proven a permanent microcontroller can be

selected to optimize system integration

Test Plan

Test Displacement

Tighten adjustment screws to proper torque

Measure displacement with dial gauge during setup

Validate 1/32” total displacement

Test Vibration Cycles

Measure RPM with encoder and display for feedback

Validate 2000 cycles/min

Test fittings

Do they fit the frame?

Test User Interface

Check connections

Ease of use

Conduit Pipe Size Considerations

• Concept: each conduit size will

have its own:

• Flange

• Collar

• This concept allows for easier

usage by operator

• Plan:

• Provide the 1st and possibly

the 2nd most used size

conduit

• Provide the drawings/files

necessary for the fabrication

of the remaining conduits

Flange

Collar –

crankshaft

connection

Collar – set

screws

Conduit Verticality

Attempt to keep the conduit as vertical as possible

Based on conversations with an operator – verticality is not

very critical

Very basic method:

Place a vertical level in the same place every time and using the

adjustable crankshaft to make minor adjustments

Design characteristics for VFD

HP : VFD must be rated for the appropriate HP.

Full Load Amps : Motors Full Load Amps must not exceed

VFD’s continuous amp load.

Voltage : number of phases and voltage must be matched as

well with the VFD.

Load Type: Constant vs. variable Torque during operation.

Programmability: programmable parameters of a VFD
