8LVA13.B1015D200-0 by B & R Automation

The 8LVA13.B1015D200-0 three-phase synchronous motor is produced by B & R Automation as part of the 8LVA Three Phase Synchronous Motors series. It belongs to the 8LV servo motor line and serves as a compact drive element for positioning and speed-controlled motion in industrial automation. The combination of frame size 1 and motor length code 3 keeps the housing short, while the smooth shaft end supports direct coupling to gearheads or driven loads with accurate concentric alignment. Because it is a synchronous servo design, it can be paired with a compatible controller for accurate velocity regulation and repeatable positioning under changing loads.

During operation, the unit delivers a nominal speed of 1500 rpm, giving drive controllers a predictable speed ceiling for synchronous axes. Thermal energy is removed through a self-cooling design, so no external fan or liquid circuit is required. Position feedback is supplied by an EnDat 2.2 Inductive encoder that supports both single-turn and multi-turn data, giving the controller immediate angle information after startup. Its absolute resolution reaches 19/16 bits, allowing fine interpolation in closed-loop motion tasks. Power and feedback are routed through a built-in double angular connector that can swivel, which helps when cable entry space is restricted. For vertical axes or suspended loads, the integrated brake provides 0.35 Nm of holding torque when the drive is disabled.

The multi-turn system stores position over up to 65536 revolutions, and a battery-backed feature preserves that data when the machine is powered down. Repeatability is supported by an accuracy of ±120 arcsec, which suits moderate-precision pick-and-place or assembly axes. Functional safety signals are not included, so safety-related stop or speed monitoring must be handled by external hardware. The motor uses separate encoder and power cabling, which helps limit electrical interference on the feedback path. It also comes without an oil seal, making it better suited to clean, dry installations than to applications where shaft sealing against fluids is required.
