Why do servo motors overheat? Why is my servo getting hot?

Analysis and solution of servo motor overheating causes



The servo motor is overloaded:

When the servo motor is subjected to more load than its rated load, it will cause the motor to overheat. This is because the motor needs to consume more energy to do the job, which generates more heat.

Servo motor overload protection fails:

servo motors are usually equipped with overload protection function, when the load borne by the motor exceeds the rated value, the protection function will automatically start to avoid motor overheating and damage. If overload protection fails or is turned off, then the motor is prone to overheating.

Ambient temperature is too high:

servo motors usually need to work within a certain ambient temperature range, if the ambient temperature is too high, it will lead to poor heat dissipation of the motor, which will cause overheating.

Servo motor cooling system failure

Servo motors are usually equipped with cooling systems, such as fans, heat sinks, etc., for heat dissipation and cooling. If the cooling system fails or fails, it will cause the motor to overheat.

The servo motor controller parameters are set incorrectly

The controller of the servo motor usually needs to set parameters, such as maximum speed, maximum acceleration, maximum torque, etc. If the parameters are set incorrectly, it may cause the motor to overload or overspeed, causing overheating.

It should be noted that overheating of the servo motor will affect the performance and life of the motor, and may even cause damage to the motor. Therefore, when using servo motors, it is necessary to follow the correct operation methods and maintenance procedures to ensure the normal operation and long-term stable operation of the motor.
