356392F

356392F is a model designation used for a family of compact servo motors designed for industrial automation. The designation appears on product documentation, engineering prints, and service manuals associated with motion control systems. The family is characterized by a balance of power, accuracy, and ruggedness suitable for in-line manufacturing, robotics, and packaging applications.

Design and construction: Motors are brushless DC servo units with an integrated encoder and a lightweight aluminum housing. A common configuration pairs the motor with a precision gearhead and an integrated or external servo drive. Standard versions commonly feature IP54 sealing and operation across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for factory floors.

Technical specifications: The 356392F family typically offers torque options in the sub- to mid-newton-meter range, speeds up to several thousand revolutions per minute, and input voltages in the 24–48 V DC range. Encoder options vary, including optical and magnetic encoders with moderate to high resolutions. Cable and connector options support common industry protocols and fieldbus interfaces.

Control and integration: Many units are designed for fieldbus compatibility, supporting EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus RTU, or Profinet. They can be controlled via standalone drives or integrated into PLC-based control systems with standard motion libraries. Optional features include regenerative braking, overcurrent protection, and programmable limit switches.

Applications: The 356392F family is used in automation lines, CNC auxiliary spindles, pick-and-place machines, robotic arms, and packaging equipment. They are often selected when a compact form factor and precise position control are required.

Variants and development: Over time, submodels labeled 356392FA, 356392FB, and 356392FC have appeared, offering different gear ratios, connector footprints, and encoder resolutions. The line emphasizes interchangeability of components and serviceability.
