8LW motors are only available with self-cooling type A (8LWA).

These motors have a long, slender form and must be attached to the machine using the mounting flange, which also serves as a cooling surface.

The cooling type is identified by a character (b) in the order number.

The motors are available with EnDat encoders as well as resolvers. The encoder system is specified as part of the order number in the form of a 2-digit code (ee).

Resolver

A resolver is an analog encoder system. Resolvers are particularly robust against vibrations and high operating temperatures. Their disadvantage is the low precision of 6-10 arcminutes. There is still no multi-turn variant with resolvers.

1)Check the angle specifications and the feasibility with regard to requirements using the CAD configurator (cad.br-automation.com).
Oil seal (ff)

8LWA servo motors are available with a form A oil seal per DIN 3760.


With an oil seal, the motors have IP65 protection per EN 60034-5.

Maintenance

To maintain functionality of the oil seal, it must be lubricated regularly with oil. An oil seal that is not lubricated will harden due to increased frictional heat and will eventually provide only dust protection.

Holding brake (ff)

8LWA motors are available with a standard holding brake. It is installed directly behind the A-side flange on the motor and used to hold the motor shaft when the power to the servo motor is switched off.

Operating principle

The holding brake is a permanent magnet brake and can be controlled by the B&R drive system. Based on principle, this type of holding brake exhibits a minimal amount of backlash.

The brake is designed as a holding brake. It not permitted to be used for operational braking! Under these conditions, the brake has a service life of approximately 5,000,000 cycles (opening and closing the brake is one cycle). Loaded braking during an emergency stop is permitted but reduces its service life.

The required brake holding torque is determined based on the actual load torque. If not enough information is known about the load torque, it is recommended to assume a safety factor of 2.

The holding brake is not intended for normal braking. The holding brake does not provide protection for personnel. The maximum motor torque far exceeds the holding torque for the brake.

Shaft end (ff)

All 8LWA servo motors have shaft ends per DIN 748.

Variants

Smooth shaft end

A smooth shaft end is used for a force-fit shaft-hub connection and guarantees a backlash-free connection between the shaft and hub as well as a high degree of operating smoothness. The end of the shaft has a threaded center hole.

Keyed shaft end

A keyed shaft end is used for a form-fit torque transfer with low demands on the shaft-hub connection and for handling torque in a constant direction.

The keyways conform to keyway form N1 per DIN 6885-1. Form A keyed shafts that conform to DIN 6885-1 are used. Balancing motors with keyways is done using the shaft and fitment key convention per DIN ISO 8821.

The end of the shaft has a threaded center hole that can be used to install machine actuators with shaft end cover plates.

Shaft breakage due to heavy reverse operation.

The shaft key can become dislodged during heavy reverse operation. In extreme cases, the shaft could brake!

  • Preferably use smooth shaft ends with clamping elements.

Motor damage due to imbalance.

If motors with a keyed shaft end are operated without the shaft key, this can result in imbalances and subsequently motor damage.

  • In these cases, use a smooth shaft end.

Example order 1

Example order 1

A three-phase synchronous motor of type 8LWA22 with a nominal speed of 3000 rpm has been selected for an application.

The connection should use a single-cable solution (hybrid). The motor should be equipped with a holding brake, a keyed shaft and an EnDat single-turn encoder.

The (ee) code for the encoder system is B8.

The (nnn) code for a nominal speed of 3000 rpm is 030.

The (ff) code for the other options is S3.

The order number for the necessary motor is therefore 8LWA22.B8030S300-0.

Example order 2

Example order 2

A three-phase synchronous motor of type 8LWA33 with a nominal speed of 4500 rpm has been selected for an application.

The connection should be designed as a built-in double angular connector. The motor should be equipped without a holding brake, with a smooth shaft end and resolver encoder. The motor should also be equipped with a oil seal.

The code (ee) for the encoder system is R0.

The code (nnn) for a nominal speed of 4500 rpm is 045.

The (ff) code for the other options is D6.

The order number for the necessary motor is therefore 8LWA33.R0045D600-0.
