Functional Features:

  • 230V AC rated — connects directly to mains-fed servo drive
  • Incremental encoder — 2048 lines for high-resolution feedback
  • High continuous power — 2.3 kW for sustained industrial duty
  • Regenerative braking capability — energy returned to DC bus

Structural Features:

  • Cast iron body with aluminum end bells
  • External finned housing for forced-air or natural convection cooling
  • Front-mounted encoder with IP54 seal
  • NEMA 42 mounting flange pattern

Working Principle: Three-phase sinusoidal commutation driven by external AKD or compatible servo drive. Incremental encoder provides velocity and position feedback. Drive performs electronic commutation and closed-loop servo control.

Advantages:

  • Direct 230V AC operation — no external transformer required
  • 2.3 kW continuous — handles heavy-duty applications
  • Robust mechanical construction — cast iron body resists vibration
  • Wide speed range — 0 to 4500 RPM

Applicable Industries:

  • Metal forming (press brakes, shear machines)
  • Plastics extrusion
  • Heavy conveyor systems
  • Woodworking (large routers, shapers)
  • Textile winding machines

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on NEMA 42 flange using M8 bolts, torque 8 Nm
  • Use rigid coupling rated for ≥22 Nm peak torque
  • Ensure 100mm minimum clearance for airflow

Usage Notes:

  • Verify drive is rated for 230V AC input before connection
  • Use regenerative braking resistor if deceleration energy exceeds bus capacitor capacity
  • Monitor winding temperature via drive thermal model
