Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley VPL-B1652C-PJ14AA servo motor is a low-inertia, high-precision motion control device developed within the Kinetix VPL series. It is specifically designed for applications that require controlled acceleration, stable torque delivery, and reliable positioning performance under varying load conditions.
With a larger 165 mm frame size and a 2 magnet stack configuration, this motor is optimized for applications where smooth motion and controlled torque are more critical than maximum output. Its rated speed of 2500 RPM makes it particularly suitable for systems that prioritize stability and accuracy over high-speed operation.
The motor integrates an 18-bit absolute multi-turn digital encoder (Hiperface DSL), ensuring accurate feedback and simplified cabling through a single-cable interface. The keyed shaft design guarantees secure mechanical transmission, while the SpeedTec DIN connector allows fast and efficient installation.
A key feature of this model is the integrated 24V DC holding brake, which provides reliable holding force when the motor is powered off. This makes it ideal for vertical or safety-critical applications. The IEC metric design ensures compatibility with international standards and simplifies system integration.
