Highest power density in the smallest installation space

The compact, lightweight and highly dynamic 8LVB servo gear motor perfectly complements the 8LV servo motor range. The 8LVB motor with direct-mount gearbox integrates all mechanical and electrical components in the smallest space possible. This makes this series optimally suited when the highest demands on dynamics and torque need to be met in the smallest spatial areas.

8LVB gear motors

Directly mounting gearboxes on the servo motors reduces weight, saves space and decreases moving mass. Equipped with either a resolver or a highly advanced EnDat 2.2 interface, these motor assemblies are ready to meet the highest demands. With their low moment of inertia, motor/gearbox combinations from the 8LVB series are designed to be highly dynamic and are characterized by excellent self-acceleration properties. As standard, these combinations come equipped with IP54 protection. By providing the highest performance in the smallest amount of space, they are among the most compact systems on the market. 8LVB motor/gearbox combinations are recommended for a wide range of applications and provide an optimum price/performance ratio in power ranges up to 1 kW.

In the 8GM series (M - gearboxes mounted directly on the motor), there is the option of choosing between standard gearbox series 8GM40 and 8GM50. The 8GM50 series is optimized to handle increased radial and axial forces. Gearboxes in the standard series are single-stage for gear ratios i = 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 with a backlash <8-15 arcminutes. In addition, these gearboxes are also available with a two-stage design with an optional smooth shaft.

Connection type

Connection type

Double angular built-in connector

The innovative connection system developed for this compact servo motor series only requires a small amount of space for cabling while still providing maximum flexibility. The 300° range of rotation allows connections to be made in an extremely flexible manner.

Fast and tool-free mounting with a self-locking quick-release fastener ensures simple and secure connections for power and encoder cables.

Together with this universal connector system, the new 8LVB series offers IP54 protection for applications in a wide range of automation areas. This ensures secure connections even in adverse conditions.

The metal housing of the connector provides optimal EMC shielding for the highest level of operational safety.

Encoder technology

B&R offers a choice between a resolver for standard applications and absolute encoder with EnDat 2.2 interface.

The ultra compact encoder with a length of less than 13 mm is multi-turn capable and has a battery backup system.

With 262,144 (218) position values per revolution and 65,536 (216) distinct revolutions, the encoder provides excellent resolution in an extremely compact design.

Embedded parameter chip

Embedded parameter chip

All relevant mechanical and electrical information and data is stored in the EnDat encoder used for B&R motors. This means that the user does not have to configure settings on the servo drive. As soon as the encoder is connected to the servo drive and the power supply to the electronics is switched on, the motor is automatically identified. The motor sends its nominal parameters and limit parameters to the servo drive. The drive then automatically determines the current limits and current control parameters required for optimal control of the motor. Only the speed and position controllers must still be optimized by the user. Support for this is provided by the integrated commissioning environment of B&R Automation StudioTM.

In addition to assistance during commissioning, routine service work is also simplified, and motors can be replaced without having to take extra time to set parameters.

Sizes and lengths

Sizes and lengths

The 8LVB motor/gearbox combination is available in three different sizes (1, 2, 3). They have different dimensions and power data. These different sizes are indicated by a number represented by (c) in the model number. The larger the number, the larger the flange dimensions and power data for the respective motor.
