8LSA36.EB060D200-3 by B & R Automation

The 8LSA36.EB060D200-3 is a three-phase synchronous motor from B&R Automation and belongs to the 8LS Synchronous Motors series. In automated lines, it serves as a direct-drive rotary actuator, turning electrical energy from a servo inverter into precisely positioned motion for packaging, handling, or assembly equipment. The configuration code 8LSA indicates the standard version without reinforced bearings, giving the motor a compact format for general machine integration. This layout supports responsive axis movement where accurate positioning and repeatable speed control are required during continuous production.

The motor's permissible continuous velocity reaches 6000 rpm, allowing fast cycle times while staying within thermal limits. Installation is simplified by a flange that measures 91.3 mm across, aligning with common IEC mounting patterns. Rotor position is measured by an inductive EnDat feedback system, which tolerates dust and oil better than optical encoders. This device streams absolute position information with 19/12 bits of single-turn and multi-turn resolution, supplying the controller with fine angular detail for tight speed and torque loops. Power and signal leave the housing through an angled swivel connector, so cables can be routed parallel to the machine frame while reducing strain near the connection point.

The feedback link supports EnDat version 2.1, enabling electronic nameplate data and cyclic diagnostics to pass directly to the drive. A standard holding brake keeps vertical or indexing axes locked when the supply is removed, helping prevent load creep during stops. Heat is removed by self-cooling with free air circulation, so the motor relies on ambient airflow rather than external fans. For mechanical coupling, the motor uses a smooth shaft, and the encoder tracks position over a multi-turn range of 4096 revs, allowing the axis to retain absolute position after a power interruption without a homing routine. This combination supports stable restart behavior and helps shorten recovery time after controlled shutdowns or unexpected power loss.
