Fadal Glentek DC Axis Motor GM6060-50 (MTR-0010)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & TUNING
The Glentek GM6060-50, or MTR-0010, is a high-performance DC brush motor designed for the XYZ axes of Fadal VMC models with Box or Linear Ways. This motor is a direct replacement for both original Baldor and Glentek motors and is specifically engineered for machines using a metric pitch ball screw with a rapid traverse of 400-900 ipm.
The GM6000 series motors feature a cost-effective design with traditional ferrite magnets. Their higher inertia armatures are optimized for medium to high inertia loads, significantly reducing vibrations and enhancing stability. A key technical feature is the skewed armature, which ensures ultra-smooth operation at all speeds by minimizing torque fluctuations.

Troubleshooting
Systematic Diagnosis of Fadal DC Servo Motor Overload Conditions
A motor overload alarm indicates a critical fault within the machine's motion control system. Our systematic diagnostic approach is designed to simplify this complex issue, guiding you to a definitive root cause analysis.
Based on extensive service data, we have identified four primary failure modes that account for over 95% of all DC servo motor overload conditions.
Internal Motor Component Failure:
This is the most frequent cause, accounting for approximately 70% of all overload alarms. An internal motor fault can manifest as:
- Commutator and Brush Issues: Shorting between the main brushes and the commutator.
- Tachometer Failure: A compromised tachometer or its brushes resulting in a loss of velocity feedback.
- Armature Faults: Shorted armature windings leading to a current surge.
- Magnet Demagnetization: Loose or weakened magnets compromising the motor's magnetic field.
- Resolver Signal Degradation: An internal resolver fault leading to a loss of position feedback integrity.
Wiring and Cable Harness Integrity: This can be a more challenging issue to diagnose. While relatively rare on the static Y and Z axes, the X-axis cable harness is highly susceptible to wear. Over time, constant motion and exposure to coolant can compromise cable insulation, leading to inter-wire shorts or ground faults that stress the servo amplifier.
Power Amplifier Malfunction: The servo amplifier is a common source of failure, responsible for approximately 25% of overload issues. To isolate a faulty amplifier, perform a methodical cross-axis validation. By swapping the suspect amplifier with a known good one from another axis (excluding the 4th axis), you can determine if the fault remains with the axis or follows the amplifier.
Control Card Fault: Though less common, a faulty controller card can also be a root cause. The axis controller cards, labeled 9, 10, and 11 for X, Y, and Z respectively, can be swapped with each other to verify their status. No jumper or EPROM changes are required for this diagnostic procedure.
For a data-driven approach, the motor itself is the most probable cause (70%). You can perform a cross-axis motor swap to confirm if the fault follows the motor. The servo amplifier is the next most likely culprit (25%), while axis controller cards fail infrequently.
Diagnostic LED Guide:
- 1010-5 and Earlier: A properly functioning card will have a steady red, blinking light at the top.
- 1010-6: A small green LED indicates nominal operation. An amber LED typically signals an external fault (e.g., motor resolver or encoder issue), while a red LED indicates a card internal failure.
