The Siemens 6SL3562-6DF71-0RG1 is a SINAMICS S120M distributed servo-drive in an AH63 frame size, rated for 5 Nm continuous torque at 3000 RPM rated speed. It runs on a DC 600 V input bus — typical for the S120M family's shared DC-link architecture — and carries a 20-bit absolute encoder for position feedback without a separate encoder cable run.
The 5 Nm torque rating is the continuous stall torque at rated speed — sized for a moderate inertial load like a small indexing table or a pick-and-place axis. The 3000 RPM top speed suits most direct-drive or low-ratio applications; if your axis needs higher speed, you would step up to a smaller frame or a gearbox. The 20-bit absolute encoder gives 1,048,576 counts per revolution, enough for precise positioning without a homing cycle on power-up — a real time-saver on multi-axis lines. The plain shaft (no holding brake) means the load must self-lock or be held by the motor's own detent torque when power is off; if your vertical axis needs a brake, this variant is not the one.
The AH63 frame mounts directly to the machine via the IM B5, IM V1, or IM V3 flange patterns listed in the description — no separate motor adapter needed. The IP65 enclosure means the drive lives on the machine, not in a panel; run the DC bus and encoder cables through a suitable IP65-rated gland plate. Natural air cooling requires clearance around the fins — check the SINAMICS S120M manual for minimum free space (typically 50 mm on each side). The 20-bit absolute encoder uses Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ protocol; verify your controller has a compatible DRIVE-CLiQ port.
