Product Description:

The 8EI8X8HWD10.0000-1 belongs to B&R Automation's 8EI Servo Drives series. It is part of the ACOPOS P3 8EI line and controls paired motor axes from one housing. It suits compact machine sections that require synchronized axis control without using separate single-axis power sections for adjacent motion tasks in machines. The drive converts three-phase mains power into pulse-width-modulated output for coordinated motion in automated machinery.

In regular duty, the unit delivers a continuous phase current of 8.8 Aeff, while short acceleration demand can reach 24 Aeff per axis. Its power stage can provide up to 4 kW and accepts a supply range of 3x 200-480 VAC, which supports use across varied industrial power systems. A pre-charge circuit limits startup inrush to 45 A, helping reduce stress on upstream components during energization.

The drive is supplied as a 2-axis module with dedicated motor and encoder connections for each channel. Real-time communication runs at 100 Mbit/s, and the internal PWM frequency of 5 kHz supports output frequencies up to 598 Hz when motor cable length stays within the stated guideline. Hardwired STO and encoder feedback form the integrated safety layer, and braking energy must be routed to an external resistor because no internal brake resistor is included.

Wake Industrial offers same-day shipping on qualifying orders and supplies a 1-year warranty with every purchase. The chat tool available on the website can be used for general questions about type codes or fault indications. It provides a simple way to check basic product information quickly.
