8LSA44.D0060S000-3 by B & R Automation

The 8LSA44.D0060S000-3 is a three-phase synchronous motor produced by B&R Automation for the 8LS Synchronous Motors series. As a rotary drive element in industrial automation, it converts electrical energy into controlled mechanical rotation, supplying motion for indexing tables, pick-and-place axes, and other servo-based stations. The 8LSA designation within the ordering code shows that it is a standard build without special reinforcement, making the unit a general-purpose choice where precise speed and position feedback are required.

At a rated speed of 6000 rpm, the motor supports rapid cycle times while staying inside its thermal envelope. Its self-cooling with free circulation design removes heat through the housing surface, so no external fan or liquid circuit is needed. The mounting interface uses a 100 mm square flange that matches common IEC frame patterns. Position information is generated by an optical EnDat encoder, and the implemented EnDat 2.2 protocol streams absolute data back to the controller over the same lead set used for power. This integrated layout is achieved through a single-cable solution, terminated on a keyed connector to simplify wiring and reduce cabinet space.

The motor uses length code 4 and product revision 3 for this specific stack height and manufacturing release. The configuration is standard without a reinforced bearing, so axial forces must be kept within normal limits. Because the motor has no holding brake and no oil seal, external measures are required when static load holding or fluid exclusion is necessary. The output end is a smooth shaft, and the motor mounts through a mounting flange that aligns the stator without additional feet. Feedback resolution reaches 25/0 bits (single/multi-turn), and the encoder operates in single-turn mode, delivering absolute position after every power cycle.
