B&R's compact servo motors allow precise positioning
B&R is expanding its servo motor portfolio with the addition of the 8WS compact motor series. This makes it possible to implement servo applications that require highly precise synchronisation and accurate positioning in limited space. Potential applications include gluing and dosing systems; grippers; measurement and testing equipment; filling systems and robot axes.
These brushless motors are offered in four different diameters ranging from 17 to 40mm. The robust, compact 8WS-series motors are specially designed for harsh industrial environments and are available in all sizes with IP54 or IP66/67 protection. The 40mm variant is available in a hygienic design with IP69K protection for use in food and beverage production.
The motors are designed for 60V DC and cover a power range from 7 to 205watts of continuous power. The integrated absolute encoder has a resolution of 4096 positions per revolution. The double-shielded hybrid motor cable - available in two lengths - is connected directly to the motor and can be used in cable drag chains.
All motors in the 8WS series can be shipped with a directly mounted 1- to 3-stage planetary gearbox. The seamlessly welded housing allows for a compact design of the motor-gearbox unit and opens up additional application possibilities.
