Eight Newton-metres of stall torque provides substantial capability for high-demand machining cycles. On a 10mm pitch ball screw with 90% efficiency, 8 Nm sustains approximately 4.5 kN of axial force - sufficient for vertical Z-axis applications with meaningful margin for cutting loads.
The 4,000 rpm rated speed drives a 10mm pitch screw at 40 m/min in direct coupling, achieving practical rapid traverse speeds without requiring gearboxes. The 2.5 kW continuous rated output handles typical CNC machining duty cycles without thermal overload.
The straight smooth shaft (ST/SLK designation) interfaces with split-hub precision servo couplings including bellows, disc, and jaw couplings that transmit torque through friction clamping. This design simplifies motor replacement - simply loosen the coupling clamp, slide the hub off, and reinstall without keyway alignment or taper seating procedures.
The electromagnetic brake is spring-applied and electrically released, providing fail-safe operation for vertical axis applications:
- Spring holds brake engaged by default
- 24V DC required to release brake for rotation
- Automatic engagement during E-stop, power loss, or servo-off
- No software or electronic dependencies for safety function
- Essential for vertical Z-axis spindle head retention
The serial absolute encoder provides 1,000,000 pulses per revolution resolution, enabling sub-micron positioning capability. Combined with the spring-applied brake, this allows immediate position recovery after power events without homing cycles. The multi-turn absolute counter is maintained by backup battery in the servo amplifier.
