Introduction
When a packaging line requires precise indexing at high speeds without overshoot, the Mitsubishi HG-KR13J low-inertia brushless servo motor delivers the performance needed. This HG Series motor combines a compact design with responsive control, making it a reliable choice for small power capacity automation tasks.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The HG-KR13J offers a rated output of 0.1 kW and operates at a rated speed of 3000 RPM, with the ability to reach a maximum speed of 6000 RPM when demanded. Its rated torque is 0.32 Nm, while maximum torque reaches 1.1 Nm, providing moderate load-handling capability. The motor features a straight shaft for straightforward mechanical integration. With an IP65 protection class, it resists dust and water ingress, ensuring dependable operation in harsh industrial environments. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, suitable for general factory conditions. An integrated oil seal further enhances durability.
Industry Applications
This servo motor excels in applications requiring quick acceleration and precise positioning. Common use cases include:
- Pick-and-place machines: The low-inertia design enables rapid start-stop cycles, reducing cycle times.
- Labeling equipment: Accurate speed control ensures consistent label placement at high throughput.
- Small conveyor drives: The 0.32 Nm rated torque handles light loads efficiently, while the IP65 rating protects against dust and washdowns.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the HG-KR13J using its straight shaft and ensure proper alignment with the driven load to minimize vibration. Connect the motor to a compatible Mitsubishi servo drive using the appropriate cable set. Verify that the ambient temperature stays within 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and that the mounting surface provides adequate heat dissipation. For applications with oil mist or coolant, the IP65 rating and oil seal provide added protection.
Maintenance & Reliability
Periodically inspect the motor for dust accumulation on the housing and ensure the shaft seal remains intact. The IP65 enclosure reduces the need for frequent cleaning, but verify that cable glands are tight to maintain the seal. In high-duty-cycle applications, monitor motor temperature to stay within the rated range. The oil seal helps extend service life in environments with lubricants.
Compatibility & Integration
The HG-KR13J integrates with Mitsubishi servo drives from the MR-J4 series and other compatible amplifiers. It uses standard encoder feedback for position and speed control. For new installations, confirm that the drive model supports the motor's rated current and encoder type. SpareTechPLC can assist with matching the correct drive for your system.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify that the HG-KR13J meets your torque and speed requirements. Check the shaft dimensions and mounting flange to ensure mechanical fit. If your application demands higher torque, consider other models in the HG Series. For replacement projects, confirm the existing drive compatibility. SpareTechPLC stocks the HG-KR13J and can provide availability and lifecycle status. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with SpareTechPLC before ordering.
