Sizing this motor for a motion axis
The MH30703P11F2200 is a 1.54 kW continuous-power servo motor from the Schneider Electric MH3 series, built for three-phase supply and fitted with a holding brake. The 70 mm flange and 14 mm shaft with parallel key match the international standard flange pattern — it bolts directly to a gearbox or machine frame without adapter plates. Nominal torque is 28.15 lbf·in (3.18 N·m) at 1250 rpm when driven by an LXM52 or LXM62 drive on a 115 V single-phase supply; at 480 V three-phase the nominal torque drops to 20.003 lbf·in (2.26 N·m) at 6500 rpm. The peak stall torque reaches 90.3 lbf·in (10.2 N·m) across the 115–480 V three-phase range — that is the short-duration acceleration or deceleration ceiling before the drive current limit intervenes.
Brake, encoder, and connection details
The holding brake pulls in at 7 W and holds 26.6 lbf·in (3 N·m) — enough to lock the vertical axis at rest without the drive holding torque. The single-turn SinCos Hiperface encoder gives absolute position within one revolution; for multi-turn applications you need a different encoder variant in the MH3 family. Electrical connection uses rotatable right-angled connectors — the cable exit can be oriented to clear the machine frame or cable track. Cooling is by natural convection, so no forced-air ducting is needed, but the IP65 rating means the motor body and connectors withstand washdown without sealing glands.
Electrical and thermal limits
Continuous stall current is 3.91 A; maximum RMS current is 12.57 A — the drive must be sized for the peak current during acceleration, not just the continuous figure. Stator resistance is 2.65 Ω and inductance is 8.64 mH, which sets the electrical time constant and influences the current-loop tuning gains.
