Motor ratings and drive pairing
The MH30701P17A2200 is a three-phase servo motor from Schneider Electric's MH3 series, delivering 930 W continuous power with a nominal torque of 1.38 N.m at 115 V when paired with an LXM52 drive. The torque derates to 1.27 N.m at 480 V with the same drive family, so the drive voltage selection directly affects the available shaft output. Maximum mechanical speed is 8000 rpm, but the nominal speed varies with the drive voltage: 1250 rpm at 115 V single-phase up to 7000 rpm at 480 V three-phase. The overspeed limit in the drive parameter set must be programmed below this ceiling to prevent mechanical overstress.
Encoder feedback and position control
The motor is equipped with a Multiturn SinCos Hiperface encoder, providing absolute position feedback over multiple shaft revolutions. This eliminates the need for a homing sequence on power-up in applications like rotary indexing tables or gantry axes where the load position must be known immediately. The SinCos analog track allows interpolation for high-resolution velocity control, while the Hiperface digital protocol communicates the multiturn count to the drive. The encoder type must match the drive's feedback interface — LXM52 and LXM62 series drives support this protocol natively.
Environmental sealing and mechanical interface
IP65 enclosure rating means the motor body is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This suits the motor for washdown environments in food processing, packaging, or material handling lines where hose-down cleaning is routine. The rotatable right-angled connectors let the cable exit orientation be adjusted during installation, which helps route cables cleanly in tight cabinets. The motor mounts on an international standard flange with a 70 mm (2.8 in) flange size and a 60 mm centring collar diameter. Four mounting holes on a 5.5 mm diameter circle secure the motor to the machine frame. The shaft is 11 mm diameter with a parallel key, 23 mm shaft length, and a 4 mm key width — standard for this frame size. Maximum radial force at the shaft centre is 660 N at 1000 rpm, derating to 360 N at 6000 rpm. Belt-driven loads or direct-coupled masses must be sized to stay within this force-speed envelope to avoid bearing fatigue. Natural convection cooling means no external fan — the motor relies on its surface area and the machine frame for heat dissipation, so mounting on a thermally conductive surface helps maintain continuous torque capability.
Electrical parameters and drive tuning
Stator resistance is 8.28 Ohm and stator inductance is 23.4 mH — these values feed the drive's auto-tuning routine for current loop gains. The torque constant is 0.79 N.m/A at 120 °C copper temperature, and the back EMF constant is 50.72 V/krpm. Continuous stall current is 1.78 A, with a maximum RMS current of 5.97 A for peak torque transients. The motor has 10 poles, which gives a natural electrical frequency of 5 times the mechanical speed in Hz. The copper hot-spot temperature is rated to 135 °C (275 °F), and the winding temperature model in the drive should be configured to protect against sustained overload. This variant has no holding brake — the load must hold position through the drive's holding torque or an external mechanical brake when power is removed.
Sourcing and lifecycle status
The sizing reference is MH30701P, which groups this motor with the 70 mm flange frame and 930 W power class. When specifying the drive, the LXM52 or LXM62 series with matching voltage rating and feedback interface is the intended pairing. The motor ships as a single unit with rotatable connectors pre-fitted.
