Minimum distance between the motors

a) Motor cables pointing away from each other

Minimum distance between the motors 1:


b) Motor cables pointing in the same direction

Minimum distance between the motors 2:


c) Motor cables pointing towards each other

Minimum distance between the motors 3:


xmin = minimum distance between the motors
xmin = n * 16 – a – b n´ = auxiliary variable
n = multiple of the phase spacing
a = distance between phase line and housing wall of motor 1 (see previous page)
B = distance between phase line and housing wall of motor 2 (see previous page)
rmin = Minimum bending radius of the motor cable (see section entitled Technical data)

Calculation for example a):

Calculation for example c):

(AL2006 and AL2012 motor)

n' = (23 mm + 22 mm) / 16 mm = 2.81

n' = (43 mm + 46 mm + 96 mm + 96 mm) / 16 mm = 17.56

n = 3 (rounded up)

n = 18 (rounded up)

xmin = 3 * 16mm – 23mm - 22mm = 3mm

xmin = 18 * 16mm - 43mm - 46mm = 199mm
