Functional Features:

  • High torque-to-inertia ratio enabling rapid acceleration and deceleration cycles
  • Integrated absolute encoder provides position feedback without homing routine after power loss
  • Hiperface DSL encoder interface supports high-resolution real-time position data transmission
  • Delta winding configuration optimizes high-speed operation and reduces torque ripple
  • Sealed construction protects against dust and liquid ingress in harsh industrial environments
  • Class H insulation supports extended thermal capability for sustained high-duty operation

  • Torque Ripple: < 1.5% of rated torque
  • Positioning Accuracy: ±0.005° (with encoder)

Material Composition:

  • Stator Lamination: Silicon Steel (M-19 Grade), 0.35 mm thickness
  • Rotor Magnets: NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron), Grade N42SH
  • Housing: Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy (ADC12)
  • Shaft: Carbon Steel (AISI 1045), Hard Chrome Plated
  • Windings: Copper (Class H Enamel Wire)
  • Bearings: Chrome Steel (AISI 52100)

Structural Features:

  • Compact cylindrical body with integrated encoder housing
  • Foot-mount flange with 4 mounting holes for B3 configuration
  • Radial shaft seal with optional IP65 kit
  • Connector: M23 12-pin for power and encoder signals

Working Principle:
The motor operates on the principle of electromagnetic interaction between the permanent magnet rotor and the stator windings. The servo drive sends three-phase sinusoidal current to the stator windings, generating a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the NdFeB rotor magnets, producing continuous torque. The Hiperface DSL encoder provides real-time rotor position feedback to the servo drive, enabling closed-loop velocity and position control.

Advantages:

  • Exceptional dynamic response with sub-5ms mechanical time constant
  • Zero position loss after power cycle due to absolute encoder
  • High overload capacity (3x rated torque for short durations)
  • Low maintenance with sealed bearings and brushless design
  • Wide speed range from 0 to 6000 RPM with constant torque up to 3000 RPM

Applicable Industries:

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
  • Packaging Machinery
  • CNC Machine Tools
  • Robot Joint Actuators
  • Printing Presses
  • Textile Machinery

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on a rigid, vibration-damped surface
  • Align coupling within 0.05 mm radial and 0.05° angular tolerance
  • Use torque-controlled fasteners: M6 bolts at 8 Nm
  • Ensure adequate ventilation or forced cooling above 70% duty cycle
  • Ground the motor housing to chassis earth

Usage Notes:

  • Do not exceed peak current for more than 5 seconds continuously
  • Verify encoder cable shielding integrity to prevent EMI-induced position errors
  • Re-grease bearings only if operating above 5000 RPM continuously
  • Do not disassemble the encoder housing; it is factory-sealed
