New Design for Compact Motor Series



B&R has revamped its 8LS series of motors and implemented numerous improvements in the process.

"Motors from B&R's 8LS series have been completely revamped and are now more powerful than ever," said a company spokesperson. "A more compact housing, optimized design and additional sizes are some of the features that make these motors even more universal."

B&R has improved the servo motors from the 8LS series in other ways. For example, size 2 and 3 motors with the same technical data now have a more compact design for maximum compatibility with a higher power density. Size 5 and 7 motors are available in additional lengths, thereby offering more flexibility in terms of dynamics and torque.

Safety Included

"8LS motors use new inductive encoders that deliver precise data compared to previous encoders," said the spokesperson. "In combination with the digital EnDat 2.2 interface, the most common safety functions can also be used with hybrid motor cables where the encoder and motor cables are grouped together, reducing wiring effort and costs.

"The most commonly used 8LS series motors are also available as preferred motors. This means an enhanced price/performance ratio and reduced delivery times."
