Torque and power — the continuous-duty envelope
The BEH18MR2413CA6D: Rated 2.4 kW continuous output at 380 V three-phase, with a nominal torque of 15.28 Nm at 1500 rpm. That's the steady-state ceiling — the motor delivers this without exceeding thermal limits under air-cooled operation. The continuous stall torque matches the nominal figure at 15.28 Nm, so the motor holds full torque at zero speed for positioning applications without derating. Peak stall torque hits 45.84 Nm — a 3:1 overload margin over the continuous rating. This handles acceleration transients and short-duration high-torque moves, but the drive must supply the peak current of 25.48 A to realise it. The maximum mechanical speed is 3000 rpm, double the nominal, so the motor can overspeed for rapid traverses if the load inertia allows.
Feedback and sealing — what the encoder and IP rating mean on the line
The 23-bit optic multi-turn encoder gives 8,388,608 counts per revolution and tracks absolute position over multiple turns — no homing sequence needed after a power cycle. This suits applications like rotary indexing tables or gantry axes where position retention matters. The optic encoder is more accurate than a resolver but sensitive to contamination; the IP67 rating on the motor body protects the encoder and windings from washdown and dust ingress, so it's viable in food-and-beverage or wet machining environments. No holding brake is fitted — the motor relies on the load being self-locking or an external brake added to the shaft. The parallel key shaft (35 mm diameter, 79 mm shaft length) with a 10 mm key width is standard for coupling to a load via a timing-belt pulley or flexible coupling. Maximum radial force is 1470 N and axial force 490 N — stay within these to avoid bearing damage.
