YOKOGAWA SGMPH-01A1E41D

Product Introduction:
The SGMPH-01A1E41D is a compact AC servo motor from Yokogawa’s Sigma-7 series, designed for high-precision motion control applications. The SGMPH designation indicates a small-frame servo motor with an absolute encoder (E41) and specific winding/connection configuration. This motor delivers high torque density in a small package, ideal for pick-and-place, packaging, semiconductor handling, and precision positioning applications.

Functional Features:

  • 17-bit absolute multi-turn encoder — position retained after power-off, no homing required
  • High torque-to-inertia ratio for fast acceleration/deceleration
  • Electromagnetic brake for vertical axis holding without power
  • Low cogging torque for smooth low-speed operation
  • Compact design — fits in space-constrained machine layouts
  • Compatible with SGD7S and SGD7E servo drives

Material Composition:

  • Stator/Rotor Core: Silicon steel laminations (0.2 mm thickness)
  • MagnetsNeodymium (NdFeB) rare-earth permanent magnets
  • HousingAluminum die-cast with anodized finish
  • Shaft: Stainless steel (SUS303)
  • Bearings: Sealed ball bearings (NSK/NTN grade)
  • WindingsClass F insulation (polyimide coating)

Structural Features:

  • Square flange mounting70 mm × 70 mm with 4 mounting holes
  • Keyed shaft with flat keyway for timing pulley or coupling attachment
  • MS military-spec connector for motor power and encoder signals
  • Integrated electromagnetic brake — 24 V DC actuation

Working Principle:
The motor is a 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The servo drive supplies 3-phase sinusoidal current to the stator windings, creating a rotating magnetic field that locks with the permanent magnet rotor field. The absolute encoder provides real-time position feedback to the drive, enabling closed-loop vector control with ±1 arc-second positioning accuracy. The brake is a spring-applied, electrically-released electromagnetic brake that holds the shaft when de-energized.

Advantages & Highlights:

  • Absolute encoder eliminates homing procedure — saves cycle time
  • 0.32 N·m continuous torque in 70 mm frame — exceptional power density
  • IP65 rating — resistant to dust and water jets
  • Low vibration and noise — suitable for cleanroom environments
  • Wide speed range: 0–3000 rpm with constant torque region up to rated speed

Applicable Industries:

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
  • Electronics Assembly / Pick-and-Place Machines
  • Packaging Machinery
  • Printing & Converting Equipment
  • Medical Device Manufacturing
  • Laboratory Automation

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on rigid flat surface using 4× M5 mounting screws, torque 1.5 N·m
  • Use flexible coupling — allowable misalignment: angular ≤ 1°, parallel ≤ 0.5 mm, axial ≤ 0.5 mm
  • Connect MS connector with torque 3.0 N·m — do not pull on cables
  • Ground motor housing to equipment ground with ≤ 0.1 Ω resistance
  • Ensure ambient temperature ≤ 40°C or derate output per motor curve

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not apply axial or radial loads exceeding specifications — will damage bearings
  • Do not disassemble motor — internal magnets are brittle and can shatter
  • Brake voltage must be 24 V DC ±10% — overvoltage will burn brake coil
  • Encoder battery life: approx. 10 years — replace motor if battery expires (position loss occurs)
  • Do not exceed 3000 rpm — mechanical damage to rotor will occur
  • Use servo drive with auto-tuning function for optimal performance
