Construction & Materials:
- Housing: Cast aluminum alloy with powder-coat finish
- Shaft: Hardened stainless steel, keyed or keyless
- Bearings: Deep-groove ball bearings (sealed)
- Windings: Class F insulation (155°C)
- Magnets: Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) or NdFeB
Structural Features:
- Standard NEMA 34-equivalent footprint
- Front and rear flange mounting options
- Shaft seal for IP54 protection (standard)
- Compact length-to-diameter ratio
Working Principle:
Sinusoidal commutated three-phase BLDC motor. Incremental encoder provides velocity and relative position feedback to the servo drive for closed-loop control.
Advantages:
- Proven B-Series platform — extensive installed base and spare parts availability
- High reliability in continuous-duty industrial applications
- Cost-effective solution for standard motion profiles
- Smooth torque output with low cogging
Applicable Industries:
Material handling, conveyor systems, plastic injection molding, textile machinery, woodworking equipment, food processing
Installation Requirements:
- Bolt to mounting surface using 4× M8 bolts (front flange)
- Maintain shaft coupling runout below 0.03 mm
- Provide minimum 50 mm clearance around motor for airflow
- Ground housing to chassis ground
Usage Notes:
- Incremental encoder requires homing sequence at every power-up
- Do not operate without a properly configured servo drive
- Monitor winding temperature; derate torque by 15% above 50°C ambient
