  • Bearings: Deep Groove Ball Bearings (Sealed, Lifetime Lubricated)
  • Sealing: Double Lip Seal with Labyrinth Design

Working Principle:
The motor operates on the principle of a permanent magnet synchronous machine. The stator windings are energized with three-phase sinusoidal current by the servo drive, generating a rotating magnetic field. The rotor, equipped with NdFeB permanent magnets, synchronously follows the stator field. The incremental encoder provides real-time position and speed feedback to the servo drive, enabling closed-loop vector control (FOC — Field Oriented Control) for precise torque, speed, and position regulation.
