Mandatory Replacement Constraints

1. No mixedbrand electrical configuration

Rockwell Kinetix5500/5700 drives use proprietary HiperfaceDSL feedback. Thirdparty motors cannot be connected. Replace motor and drive together; do not retain original Rockwell drive.

2. Mechanical verification points

Target flange boltcircle must be 115 mm;

Shaft diameter and keyway dimensions differ across brands; coupling modification may be required;

Original unit has no brake; select brakeequipped variant for verticalaxis applications;

IP65 baseline ingress protection; select shaftsealenhanced suffix for harsh environments.

3. Dynamicperformance matching

Keep rotor inertia within ±15 % of original motor value. Original is lowinertia highspeed design. Avoid medium / highinertia motors, otherwise acceleration/deceleration and response will degrade.

4. Encoder specification

Original: multiturn absolute encoder. Replacement must use multiturn absolute encoder. Singleturnonly absolute encoders require homing after poweroff.

2. ApplicationConditionBased Selection Guidance

✅ Preferred usecases for VPL lowinertia motors

1. Requirement for extreme acceleration / deceleration, frequent startstop and reciprocating motion
2. High motor operating speed (40006500 rpm range)
3. Controllable loadtomotor inertia ratio; load inertia ≤ 510 × motor rotor inertia
4. Pointtopoint positioning, synchronous following, flyingshear, electroniccam processes

❌ Avoid VPL; select VPC continuoustorque motor instead

1. Longduration constant hightorque output
2. Largeinertia loads under sustained lowspeed heavyduty operation
3. Shockloaded and continuousoverload conditions
4. Mechanical Selection Pitfalls in Field Practice
5. Vertical axes: Motorintegrated holding brake serves only position retention, not safety braking. External mechanical brake is required for highrisk vertical mechanisms.
6. Codificator: P = multiturn absolute (no homing after poweroff); C = singleturn absolute (homing required after poweroff).
7. Evaluare de mediu: Standard VPL IP65; S suffix adds IP66 shaft seal. Washdown environments require VPF/VPH hygienic motors instead of standard VPL.
8. Drive binding: VPL motors only work with Kinetix5500/5700 drives. Legacy MPseries drives are incompatible.
