Product Description:

The 8EI8X8HWT10.0500-1 is a three-axis servo drive produced by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series and included in the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive family. The unit functions as a compact multi-axis controller that converts three-phase mains power into regulated motor currents for coordinated motion in industrial automation cells. By integrating power electronics, axis control, and machine safety, the drive simplifies cabinet layouts while delivering synchronized torque to connected servo motors.

Electrical input spans the universal factory range of 3x 200-480 VAC, so the same model can be connected to low-voltage or high-voltage mains without a hardware change. Rated motor output is regulated through a continuous phase current of 8.8 Aeff, allowing the three internal axes to drive medium-frame servomotors without derating. Because the electronics and power stage are built as a single 3-axis module, wiring between drives is eliminated and axis-to-axis jitter is minimized. An integrated internal braking resistor absorbs regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, preventing DC-bus overvoltage. For safety, the drive includes hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, which removes torque within milliseconds while still tracking shaft position.

Mechanical integration favors wall mounting, so the heat sink can use vertical airflow in crowded enclosures. Field wiring is completed through a connector set with two rows, while the single-row connector set is omitted to reserve space for high-current contacts. The platform is available as 1-axis, 2-axis, or 3-axis modules, allowing a common footprint across scattered or centralized motion-control layouts. Each unit follows a standard module option with no custom features and is supplied without a plug-in module and without an additional front cover. This arrangement keeps the cooling path unobstructed and preserves the intended enclosure layout.
