Torque and speed — continuous vs peak duty
The BEH18MM0813MA6D: Rated 850 W continuous output at 380 V three-phase, the motor delivers 5.39 N.m nominal torque at 1500 rpm base speed. The continuous stall torque matches the nominal figure at 5.39 N.m, pulling 3.16 A stall current — this is the thermal limit for sustained holding or creep-speed moves.
Feedback and connectivity — 17-bit absolute encoder
The magnetic multi-turn encoder provides 17-bit absolute position feedback — 131,072 counts per revolution with multi-turn tracking across 4,096 revolutions. No homing sequence needed after a power cycle; the drive reads the absolute position on bus start-up. The motor connects via two male/female connectors — one for power, one for feedback — so the cable set must match the Lexium 18 pinout. Maximum mechanical speed is 3000 rpm, giving headroom above the 1500 rpm nominal for rapid traverse moves. The air-cooled design relies on the machine's ambient airflow; in a confined enclosure, check the thermal load against the cabinet's ventilation budget.
For a line-down spare or a new machine build, the BEH18MM0813MA6D is a standard catalog item within the Lexium 18 range, so lead times follow the normal production cycle. Volume pricing breaks are available for multi-axis orders — specify the total quantity and target delivery window in the RFQ.
