8LSA35.DB060S100-3 by B & R Automation

B&R Automation's 8LSA35.DB060S100-3 belongs to the 8LS Synchronous Motors series and functions as a three-phase synchronous drive element for industrial automation axes that demand high speed and repeatable positioning. The motor converts three-phase supply power into controlled mechanical rotation, making it suitable for packaging lines, electronic assembly gantries, and similar servo-controlled machinery where compact size and high dynamics are required. Its compact design supports fast motion cycles in equipment that needs accurate rotary control without adding unnecessary bulk to the axis.

The motor is wired through a single-cable hybrid solution that carries power, encoder feedback, and fieldbus data in one lead, trimming panel space and reducing cable routing complexity. Thermal management is handled by self-cooling with free air circulation, so only airflow around the housing is required for continuous operation. A flange dimension of 91.3 mm matches common gearbox and frame standards, while the mounting flange centers the stator accurately on the machine face. Under rated conditions, the rotor reaches a rated speed of 6000 rpm, delivering high peripheral velocity for small-diameter tools. A plug-in connector eliminates manual wire termination and simplifies cable attachment.

The position loop is closed with an inductive EnDat feedback system that operates on version 2.2, allowing cyclic position updates and electronic nameplate transfer over the shared hybrid cable. Its sensor provides 19/12-bit single-turn and multi-turn resolution, enabling drive controllers to resolve fine angular increments while counting revolutions up to a 4096-revolution multi-turn limit. The shaft arrangement ships without a holding brake, so any power-off load retention must rely on drive torque or external clamping. The A-series standard configuration excludes reinforced bearings and oil seals, which helps keep rotating inertia low for applications that need rapid acceleration profiles.
