8EI8X8HWTS0.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI8X8HWTS0.0600-1 is a servo drive module from B&R Automation in the 8EI Servo Drives series. It serves as the power and control interface between a motion controller and AC synchronous motors, regulating torque, speed, and position for coordinated axis movement in packaging lines, assembly equipment, and material-handling systems. The module handles closed-loop motor control so commanded motion profiles can be followed with stable acceleration and repeatable positioning. By integrating multiple axes in one housing, the unit helps reduce cabinet wiring and keeps related power electronics in a compact footprint.

This unit is built as a 3-axis module, and each axis can supply a continuous phase current of 8.8 Aeff. It operates from a 3x 200-480 VAC supply, allowing use across a wide range of industrial power systems. An internal braking resistor absorbs regenerated energy during deceleration, which reduces the need for external braking hardware in many applications. Functional safety is provided by SafeMOTION with a digital encoder interface, so the drive can support monitored motion functions such as safe torque off and safe limited speed. The unit is supplied in the standard module option, so no module-specific add-ons are installed at the factory.

For installation, the housing is intended for Wall mounting, which supports direct placement on a panel or machine structure. Field connections use a 1-row connector set, and the omitted second connector row helps conserve panel depth where space is limited. The drive is supplied with a protective front cover already attached, which helps shield connection areas during cabinet assembly and normal operation. Its multi-axis arrangement keeps power and control connections concentrated in one module, which can simplify routing between the drive, motor leads, and the higher-level control system.
