It delivers a rated torque of 7.1 Nm at a rated speed of 3000 RPM, supplied from a DC 600 V bus. The drive carries a 20-bit absolute encoder for position feedback and is cooled by natural air convection — no fan to fail or collect debris. It supports mounting orientations IM B5 (flange), IM V1 (vertical shaft up), and IM V3 (vertical shaft down). The shaft comes with a fitted key, tolerance N, and no holding brake. The 7.1 Nm rated torque at 3000 RPM tells you the continuous mechanical output this drive can deliver to the load. For a direct-drive or geared axis, that torque figure governs the sizing — match it to the load's required torque at speed, not the motor's peak or stall rating. The DC 600 V input ties to the common DC bus of a SINAMICS S120 line module; confirm your bus voltage and current capacity before wiring. The 20-bit absolute encoder gives 1,048,576 counts per revolution — enough resolution for positioning tasks that need sub-arcminute repeatability. The natural air cooling limits ambient temperature; if the drive is enclosed in a non-ventilated space, derate or add forced airflow. No holding brake means the load must be held by the motor's own detent torque, a mechanical brake on the axis, or a separate braking resistor on the DC bus. ## Deployment context This drive is built for distributed servo architectures — mount it on the machine frame near the ball screw or belt drive, not in a central cabinet. The IP65 rating and natural cooling suit food-and-beverage packaging lines, material handling, and machine tools where washdown or airborne particulates are routine. The DC 600 V input expects a regulated DC bus from a SINAMICS S120 supply module.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6SL3563-6DF71-0RA1 SINAMICS S120M Servo Drive, 7.1 N","metaDescription":"Siemens SINAMICS S120M distributed servo drive 6SL3563-6DF71-0RA1. 7.1 Nm, 3000 RPM, DC 600V, IP65, absolute encoder 20-bit.
