Servos Add High-inertia Option

Sept. 2, 2010
The 1FK7 servo motor family has been expanded to include a new high-inertia style. 
These self-cooled 1FK7-HI servo motors provide stall torque in the 3Nm to 20Nm range and are offered in IP64 or IP65 with IP67 flange degree of protection, with selectable options for plain or keyed shaft, holding brake, 22-bit incremental or absolute encoders, as well as 18 color options. A mechanical decoupler between the motor and encoder shaft protects the encoder from mechanical vibrations. If the encoder must be exchanged, the device automatically aligns the encoder signal to the rotor pole position, enabling feedbacks to be changed in the field in less than five minutes. The servo motors also feature Drive-Cliq serial bus and electronic nameplate recognition, allowing virtual plug-and-play operation when paired to the vendor’s Sinamics S drive platform.Siemens Industry Inc.www.usa.siemens.com/motioncontrol800.879.8079
