Product Overview
When your automation system requires precise motion control with a compact footprint, the Mitsubishi HG-KR13BJ AC servo motor delivers reliable performance. This model from the HG Series integrates a built-in electromagnetic brake, ensuring immediate stopping when power is removed. Operating at 200VAC, the HG-KR13BJ produces a rated output of 100W, making it a cost-effective choice for lighter-duty positioning tasks.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The HG-KR13BJ offers key specifications that directly impact your system's efficiency and total cost of ownership. Its low inertia design reduces energy consumption during acceleration and deceleration, lowering operational costs over time. The motor achieves a rated speed of 3000 RPM and can reach a maximum speed of 6000 RPM when needed, allowing faster cycle times without oversizing the motor. A 22-bit encoder provides high-resolution feedback, reducing scrap and rework by maintaining precise position control. The built-in magnetic brake eliminates the need for external braking components, saving installation and maintenance expenses. The straight shaft simplifies coupling to mechanical loads, reducing alignment time and potential wear.
Industry Applications
In packaging machinery, the HG-KR13BJ's low inertia and built-in brake enable quick starts and stops, minimizing product waste during changeovers. For pick-and-place systems, the 22-bit encoder ensures accurate positioning, reducing rejected parts and improving yield. In labeling equipment, the motor's 200VAC supply and 100W output provide sufficient torque for light web handling, while the brake holds position during power loss, preventing material damage. Each application benefits from the motor's compact size, lowering enclosure costs and saving floor space.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the HG-KR13BJ on a clean, flat surface using the provided straight shaft coupling. Ensure the ambient temperature stays between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius to maintain rated performance. Connect the 200VAC power supply according to local electrical codes. Verify that the built-in electromagnetic brake wiring is properly integrated with your drive's brake control output. Use shielded cables for the 22-bit encoder to avoid signal noise, which can cause positioning errors and increase downtime. Perform a test run at low speed before full operation to confirm correct rotation direction and brake release timing.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regularly inspect the motor's shaft and brake for debris or wear. The built-in magnetic brake requires no adjustment, reducing maintenance labor costs. Keep the motor within its 0 to 40 degrees Celsius operating range to extend bearing life and prevent encoder drift. Periodically check electrical connections for tightness, as loose terminals can cause intermittent faults and unplanned downtime. By following these simple steps, you maximize the motor's service life and protect your investment.
Buying Guide
Before purchasing the Mitsubishi HG-KR13BJ, verify that your servo drive supports a 200VAC motor with a 22-bit encoder interface. Confirm that your application requires a 100W rated output and low inertia characteristics. The built-in brake is ideal for vertical loads or emergency stop scenarios.
