8EI2X2HWS10.0400-1
The 8EI2X2HWS10.0400-1 from B & R Automation is a stainless steel 8EI Servo Drives series component designed for compact, high-performance motion control applications. This 1-axis module measures 400 mm length with a 10 mm diameter, weighing just 0.35 kg for efficient integration into tight machine architectures. Constructed of stainless steel with high corrosion resistance, it offers a tensile strength of 700 MPa and features a metric thread type secured by a 17 mm hex head mounting interface. The drive supports a voltage range of 3×200–480 VAC and operates across a 50–60 Hz system frequency, making it compatible with global power standards. RoHS compliance and a polished surface finish underscore its suitability for regulated manufacturing environments.
Performance characteristics of the 8EI2X2HWS10.0400-1 emphasize both dynamic responsiveness and safety. It delivers a continuous current of 2.2 A and maintains a continuous output power of 1 kW, with a maximum output frequency of 598 Hz for precise motor control. The drive integrates a hardwired STO safety option with encoder to meet modern functional safety requirements, while an internal braking resistor enhances load-holding capabilities. Encoder feedback is managed via the EnDat protocol, ensuring accurate rotor position and speed monitoring, and an RJ45 slot accommodates plug-in communication modules for flexible network integration. LED indicators (PLK, R/E, SE, Ax1) provide intuitive status updates, and the absence of a front cover minimizes maintenance complexity.
Reliability and seamless system integration are hallmarks of this SafeMOTION drive. The wall-mounting design ensures secure installation in control cabinets or on machine frames, and the standard module option requires no customized components. Although no plug-in module is included in the base delivery, expansion slots enable future upgrades without mechanical rework. High corrosion resistance and stainless steel construction guarantee operation in harsh industrial environments, while RoHS compliance affirms environmental and safety conformity. Ideal for robotics, packaging machinery, and automated assembly lines, the 8EI2X2HWS10.0400-1 provides a robust, versatile solution for single-axis motion control tasks where precision and durability are paramount.
