Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy

The B&R 8MSA4S.R0-31 is a high-dynamic, three-phase synchronous AC servo motor engineered to pair with B&R ACOPOS, ACOPOSmicro, and ACOPOSmulti drive systems. Featuring a Size 4 frame (100 mm flange) with a length S stator stack, this motor delivers impressive continuous torque and rapid acceleration in demanding industrial applications such as packaging machines, metalworking feeds, plastics machinery, and printing lines.

Equipped with a heavy-duty analog resolver (“R0” designation), the 8MSA4S.R0-31 handles extreme mechanical shock, high structural vibration, and elevated operating temperatures where fragile optical encoders fail. An unexpected motor failure on an automated feed axis halts production immediately. Stocking a factory-fresh, New Surplus 8MSA4S.R0-31 unit in facility inventory guarantees zero rotor magnet demagnetization, factory bearing integrity, and rapid replacement without waiting on long OEM manufacturing lead times.

 

Installation & Alignment Guide

1.Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety):Safety Prep & LOTO.

  • Lock out main electrical power to the ACOPOS drive cabinet and verify DC bus rail voltage is fully discharged (< 50 VDC).
  • Inspect the 100 mm pilot flange, smooth shaft, and circular electrical connectors for transit damage or contamination.
  • Ensure keyless clamping elements or couplings match the motor shaft diameter precisely and are free of grease/lubricants.

2.Stage 2: Removal:Mechanical Extraction.

  • Twist the bayonet locking collars counter-clockwise to disconnect power and resolver feedback cables.
  • Loosen clamping bolts on the driven load coupling or gearbox input sleeve.
  • Remove the 4 flange mounting bolts and carefully slide the motor straight off the pilot without applying axial impact to the shaft.

3.Stage 3: Mechanical & Electrical Connection:Mounting & Coupling Setup.

  • Align the 8MSA4S.R0-31 pilot flange onto the machine mounting faceplate and insert the smooth shaft into the clamping sleeve.
  • Cross-torque mounting flange bolts to specified torque ratings using a calibrated torque wrench.
  • Secure keyless coupling clamping bolts, ensuring zero axial loading or radial binding on the motor bearings.
  • Connect circular power and resolver cables until bayonet locking rings snap firmly into place.

4.Stage 4: Drive Initialization & Testing:Drive Commutation & Test Run.

  • Apply 24 VDC logic power to the ACOPOS servo drive; confirm resolver signal detection without feedback fault codes.
  • Verify motor parameter table settings in B&R Automation Studio software match the 8MSA4S.R0-31 nameplate rating.
  • Perform a low-speed manual jog test to confirm proper rotation direction, correct commutation angle, and smooth acceleration.

Firmware/Software Integration & Resolver Notes

  • Automation Studio Compatibility: Fully supported across all releases of B&R Automation Studio via standard ACOPOS motor catalog hardware definitions.
  • Resolver Feedback Reliability: Analog resolver feedback units contain no optical glass scales or onboard microelectronics. Sinusoidal/cosinusoidal analog position signals provide extreme immunity against electrical noise, thermal stress, and high physical shock.
  • Cable Shielding Requirement: Always utilize factory-terminated, double-shielded B&R motor power and resolver cables. Proper grounding of cable braids at the drive ground bar prevents high-frequency PWM switching noise from interfering with analog resolver signals.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What do the “R0” and “31” designators signify in the 8MSA4S.R0-31 model code?

A: “R0” indicates an analog resolver feedback device for high-vibration environments. “31” specifies a smooth cylindrical shaft design without a keyway and without an internal mechanical holding brake at a 3000 RPM nominal rating.

Q: Is the 8MSA series directly compatible with current ACOPOS drive families?

A: Yes. The 8MSA motor family pairs directly with standard B&R ACOPOS, ACOPOSmicro, and ACOPOSmulti drive modules when configured with the appropriate resolver interface card (e.g., 8AC120.60-1).

Q: Why choose New Surplus over a refurbished or rewound servo motor?

A: Rebuilt motors often suffer from degraded permanent magnets (caused by past over-temperature events) and altered stator insulation. Our New Surplus inventory delivers 100% unused hardware with factory magnet flux, pristine bearings, and factory-aligned feedback devices.

Q: Is this 8MSA4S.R0-31 motor guaranteed authentic B&R manufacture?

A: Yes. All stock is guaranteed original B&R equipment. Each unit undergoes visual, shaft rotation, and electrical winding continuity verification prior to dispatch.

Q: What degree of ingress protection does this motor offer?

A: The standard housing provides IP65 protection, sealing the motor against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.

Q: What warranty applies to this New Surplus B&R servo motor?

A: We provide a full 1-Year Comprehensive Replacement Warranty. If any operational or mechanical fault occurs under normal operating conditions within 12 months, we will replace the unit or issue a full refund.
