Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley VPL-B1304E-PK12AA servo motor is a robust and high-efficiency motion control solution designed for industrial applications requiring stable torque output and precise positioning. As part of the Kinetix VPL series, this model is built to support demanding automation systems with consistent performance and reliability.
Featuring a 130 mm frame size and a 4 magnet stack design, the motor delivers higher torque capability compared to lower stack configurations, making it well-suited for applications involving heavier loads. With a rated speed of 3500 RPM, it strikes a balance between torque and speed, ensuring smooth and controlled motion.
The motor is equipped with an 18-bit absolute multi-turn digital encoder using Hiperface DSL technology, providing accurate position feedback and reducing system wiring through a single-cable interface. The smooth shaft design allows flexible coupling options depending on application requirements, while the SpeedTec DIN connector ensures quick and secure installation.
Without an integrated brake, this motor is ideal for systems where braking is externally managed. Its IEC metric design ensures compatibility with international mechanical standards, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of equipment.
