Product Short Description

Product Introduction:
The 8MSA3M is a compact permanent‑magnet synchronous servo motor from B&R’s 8MSA family, frame size 3 with “M” (medium) inertia variant. It balances dynamic response with torque capacity, integrating a multi‑turn absolute optical encoder for high‑resolution position feedback without homing sequences.

Compatible drives
B&R ACOPOS 8 (e.g., 8V1016.00‑2, 8V1090.00‑2)
Material Composition:
  • Stator laminations: Grain‑oriented silicon steel (FeSi), 0.35 mm thickness
  • Rotor: High‑coercivity permanent magnets (NdFeB, N42SH grade)
  • Housing: Aluminium alloy (EN AC‑46000), anodised
  • Shaft: Hardened alloy steel (C45E), chrome‑plated
  • Bearings: Deep‑groove ball bearings, sealed, grease‑lubricated (6000 series)
  • Connector: M23 connector, gold‑plated contacts, IP67 rated
Structural Features:
  • Cylindrical housing with integral cooling fan
  • Front‑side connector for power and encoder
  • Compact 42 mm flange design for space‑constrained applications
  • Keyed shaft per DIN 6885‑1 for positive torque transmission
Functional Features:
  • Integrated multi‑turn absolute encoder eliminates need for reference run after power loss
  • Sin/Cos and Hiperface DSL interfaces for high‑resolution position feedback
  • High dynamic response with low rotor inertia
  • Intelligent thermal management with built‑in temperature sensor (PTC/KTY)
  • Plug‑and‑play compatibility with B&R ACOPOS servo drive series
Working Principle:
The 3‑phase stator winding, energised by the ACOPOS drive with sinusoidal PWM, creates a rotating magnetic field. The NdFeB rotor follows this field, with position feedback from the absolute optical encoder closing the servo loop for precise torque, speed, and position control.
Application Scenarios:
  • Packaging machinery
  • Printing and converting equipment
  • CNC machining centres (tool changer, auxiliary axes)
  • Robotics and pick‑and‑place systems
  • Textile machinery
  • Food and beverage automation
Installation Requirements:
  • Mount on a rigid, flat surface using four M5 bolts, torque 2.5 N·m
  • Ensure minimum 50 mm clearance around the motor for airflow (forced convection fan)
  • Use shielded cable for encoder and power connections
  • Grounding resistance must be ≤ 1 Ω
  • Ambient temperature: –10 °C to +55 °C
  • Connect motor to compatible B&R ACOPOS drive (e.g., 8V1016.00‑2)
Usage Precautions:
  • Do not exceed rated peak current for more than 5 seconds
  • Do not disassemble the encoder housing – calibration will be lost
  • Ensure proper cable strain relief at the M23 connector
  • Regularly check bearing condition after 10,000 operating hours
  • Do not operate in corrosive atmospheres without additional enclosure
  • The internal fan requires clean air; filter intake in dusty environments
