Allen Bradley Kinetix VPC servo motors enable manufacturers to run machines at higher speeds and higher torque

Allen Bradley Kinetix VPC servo motors enable manufacturers to run machines at higher speeds and higher torque. Interior permanent magnets allow for field weakening, which reduces electromagnetic resistance so a machine can carry loads continuously and well-above motor-rated speeds. A cooling fan and cooling fins on the motor provide increased torque and power output. The motor line meets or exceeds IE4 efficiency ratings, which can save energy costs compared to using an IE3 or lower-rated motor. When used with the Kinetix 5700 servo drive, the VPC servo motor can help manufacturers reduce current usage.
