B&R has completely redesigned the servomotors in the 8LS series: The motors in sizes 2 and 3 are more compact with the same technical data. The motors in sizes 5 and 7 have been given additional lengths. They therefore offer more flexibility in terms of dynamics and torque. Inductive encoders are used in the motors, which, according to the supplier, provide much more precise data compared to the previous encoders. In combination with the digital EnDat 2.2 interface, the most common safety functions can also be used with motor hybrid cables, in which the encoder and motor cables are combined. This reduces cabling effort and costs.
