Material Composition:

  • Stator: M-19 silicon steel laminations, epoxy-coated
  • Rotor: SmCo (Samarium Cobalt) permanent magnets
  • Housing: Anodized aluminum alloy (6061-T6)
  • Shaft: Hardened stainless steel (17-4PH)
  • Bearings: Sealed angular contact ball bearings (pre-loaded)

Structural Features:

  • Flange mount with 4× M6 mounting holes on 102mm bolt circle
  • Integrated connector (M23, 12-pin) for power, brake, encoder
  • Keyed shaft (standard, DIN 6885-1)
  • Labyrinth seal at shaft exit

Working Principle:
Electronic commutation with Hall-sensor feedback for rotor position. Drive energizes stator phases in sequence to create rotating field. 17-bit Hiperface DSL encoder provides absolute position across 128 turns. Closed-loop servo control maintains position/velocity/torque per drive command.

Key Advantages:

  • 102mm flange — standard mounting interface for many machines
  • SmCo magnets — superior high-temperature performance vs. NdFeB
  • 17-bit encoder — 131,072 counts/rev for sub-arc-second resolution
  • 5,000 RPM — higher speed than B-204 for same torque class
  • Commutated design — smooth low-speed operation, no cogging

Applicable Industries:

  • Conveyor systems
  • Woodworking machines
  • Food processing equipment
  • Textile machines
  • Material handling

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on 102mm bolt circle, torque M6 bolts to 8 Nm
  • Shaft alignment: ≤ 0.05mm TIR
  • Ambient: -20°C to +50°C
  • Minimum 80mm clearance for ventilation

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not run continuously at peak torque — thermal limit is 1.3 Nm continuous
  • Brake voltage: 24 VDC ±10% (if equipped with brake option)
  • Do not exceed 5,000 RPM — bearing speed limit
  • Encoder cable shield must be grounded at drive end only
