Product Description:

The 8MSA5L.E0-B4 is a three-phase synchronous motor manufactured by B&R Automation within the 8MS Three Phase Synchronous Motors series. The model serves as a direct-drive element for servo axes that require precise velocity and position control in automated production equipment. It accepts power from a matched inverter and produces constant torque across its rated operating range, allowing accurate indexing, coordinated motion, and repeatable cycle times in packaging, material-handling, and assembly applications. Electronic commutation supports responsive motion while avoiding the wear associated with mechanical commutators.

The motor has a nominal speed of 3000 rpm, which corresponds to its synchronous operating point when the supply frequency and internal pole count are matched. Rotor position feedback is provided by a single-turn EnDat encoder with 512 lines of incremental resolution. After interpolation, this resolution supports fine position control and accurate tracking of commanded motion. The encoder processes signal frequencies of at least 100 kHz (-3 dB), preventing rapid traverse movements from saturating the feedback interface. Angular accuracy is maintained within ±60 arcseconds, helping reduce following error in coordinated multi-axis systems. The digital connection transmits position and diagnostic data over a two-wire link without requiring separate Hall or commutation tracks.

Cooling relies on self-cooling, so the motor does not require an external blower or liquid cooling circuit. The power and feedback connectors exit from the B-side of the housing, simplifying cable routing where installation space is limited. The motor has a smooth shaft end designed for friction couplings or shrink-fit hubs. It provides a large relative rated torque for its housing envelope, supporting demanding servo-axis loads without an unnecessarily large frame. The L-code housing provides additional motor length for applications that require its associated inertia and torque characteristics. Its size 5 frame establishes the mounting envelope used for machine integration. The motor does not include an internal holding brake, so an external holding method is required when a stationary load cannot be retained by drive torque. The absence of an oil seal reduces shaft friction in clean operating environments where additional sealing is unnecessary.

Frequently Asked Questions about 8MSA5L.E0-B4:

Q: Where is the electrical connection located on the 8MSA5L.E0-B4 motor?

A: The 8MSA5L.E0-B4 has its electrical connection on the B side, which determines cable routing during installation.

Q: What cooling mechanism does the 8MSA5L.E0-B4 use?

A: This motor is cooled by a self-cooling system, operating without the need for external fans.

Q: What are the encoder specifications of the 8MSA5L.E0-B4 motor?

A: The 8MSA5L.E0-B4 features an EnDat single-turn encoder offering a resolution of 512 lines and a precision of ±60 arcseconds.

Q: Is the 8MSA5L.E0-B4 equipped with a holding brake?

A: This model does not include a holding brake, so it will not maintain position without external support when unpowered.

Q: What type of shaft end does the 8MSA5L.E0-B4 motor have?

A: The shaft end on this motor is smooth, allowing for direct coupling without a keyway or other form of mechanical locking.
