VPL-B1002M-CK14AA

The VPL-B1002M-CK14AA low-inertia servo motor is manufactured by Allen–Bradley/Rockwell Automation. Part of the Kinetix VP (Bulletin VPL) series of products, this outstanding brushless motor is fully compatible with the Kinetix 5500 and the Kinetix 5700 servo drives. The innovative design of this motor uses energy more efficiently while reducing the costs, which are important characteristics for many users. The VPL-B1002M-CK14AA is quite compact because its height is approximately 131.2 millimeters (5.17 inches), its length is 195.2 millimeters (7.68 inches), and its width is 26.6 millimeters (1.05 inches). With a frame size of 100 and a bolt circle diameter of 100 millimeters, this motor is fairly light because it weighs approximately 3.56 kilograms (7.85 pounds).

The rated speed of the VPL-B1002M-CK14AA is 6000 revolutions per minute and it has a voltage of 400 Volts. The motor comes with a double magnet stack and it has a smooth shaft. It uses a single-turn digital encoder with an 18-bit resolution to send real-time data on the motor status to the drive. In addition to the Hiperface DSL protocol, this motor also features a single SpeedTec DIN connector which adds to its appeal. The VPL-B1002M-CK14AA comes with a 24 Volts DC brake and the standard factory options, and it can be installed using the IEC metric mounting flange. It is advised to properly inspect the motor, the mounting pilot, and the shaft prior to installation. The motor should not be installed in case of any damage. Furthermore, it is important to inspect the shaft seals regularly because they are more subject to wear than other parts of the motor. Though the motor is dust tight, the users are advised to provide a shield that will protect the motor and its parts from fluids and other matter. The ambient temperature this motor can withstand is a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). It is important to leave enough room around the motor so that the heat it produces can be dissipated. If the aforementioned guidelines are followed, the life of the motor will be prolonged.
