Product Detailed Description
The Allen-Bradley VPL-B1153F-PK12AA is a high-performance, low-inertia servo motor from the Kinetix VP-Series, manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It is a brushless AC servo motor designed for precise motion control applications over EtherNet/IP networks. This motor belongs to the 400V voltage class and features three magnet stacks with permanent magnets that enable low-inertia operation, allowing for rapid acceleration and deceleration. It integrates seamlessly with Kinetix 5500 and 5700 servo drives, providing smooth and integrated motion control. The motor uses a multi-turn digital encoder with the Hiperface DSL protocol for high-resolution feedback (18-bit single-turn and 12-bit multi-turn resolution), ensuring exceptional precision in positioning and speed control. It is equipped with a keyless shaft, SpeedTec DIN connector (right-angle, 325° rotatable), and IEC metric mounting flange, but does not include a holding brake. The motor has undergone rigorous certifications, including UL, CSA, and CE, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Product Advantages
- High Dynamic Performance: The low-inertia design delivers rapid response times, faster acceleration/deceleration cycles, and superior precision, ideal for applications requiring quick motion changes.
- Integrated Motion Control: Optimized for EtherNet/IP networks, it provides seamless compatibility with Kinetix 5500 and 5700 servo drives, enabling efficient, single-cable technology for power, feedback, and brake control.
- Compact and Efficient: With a 115 mm frame size and three magnet stacks, it offers high torque density in a smaller footprint, reducing overall system size and energy consumption.
- Advanced Feedback System: The Hiperface DSL multi-turn encoder ensures high-resolution positioning (up to 2,621,440 counts per revolution), minimizing errors and enhancing control accuracy.
- Reliability and Durability: Certified for global standards (UL, CSA, CE), it operates reliably in harsh industrial conditions, with a brushless design that extends service life and reduces maintenance.
- Flexibility: Keyless shaft and rotatable DIN connector simplify installation and adaptability in various orientations.
Precautions and Notes
- Environmental Limits: Ensure operating temperatures stay between 0°C and 40°C to prevent overheating or performance degradation. For storage or transport, maintain -30°C to 70°C. Avoid exposure to excessive humidity, dust, or corrosive environments unless using optional IP-rated enclosures.
- Installation Guidelines: Inspect the motor upon receipt for damage before installation. Use proper torque values for mounting (refer to IEC metric flange specifications). Align the shaft precisely to avoid vibration or premature wear. For VPL-B115x models, add 48.5 mm (1.91 in.) to dimensions L, LB, LE, and LD when calculating enclosure space.
- Electrical Safety: Connect to a 480V AC supply only, with appropriate grounding. Use certified cabling for SpeedTec DIN connectors to prevent signal interference. Do not exceed rated speed (4500 RPM) to avoid demagnetization of permanent magnets.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for contamination on the shaft and encoder; clean with non-abrasive methods. Avoid mechanical impacts to the rotor. If integrating with drives, verify firmware compatibility via Rockwell Automation tools.
- Hazard Warnings: The motor contains permanent magnets that generate strong magnetic fields—keep away from pacemakers, credit cards, and sensitive electronics. Disconnect power before servicing to prevent electric shock.
Product Applications
The VPL-B1153F-PK12AA is versatile for high-precision, dynamic motion control in industrial automation. Key applications include:
- Manufacturing Automation: High-speed indexing, assembly lines, and CNC machines requiring precise positioning and rapid cycle times.
- Packaging Industry: Filling, labeling, and wrapping systems where quick acceleration/deceleration ensures efficient throughput.
- Robotics: Arm and joint actuation in collaborative or industrial robots, benefiting from low inertia for agile movements.
- Material Handling: Conveyor indexing and sorting equipment, providing smooth torque for reliable operation.
- Other Sectors: Semiconductor fabrication, printing presses, and general machinery automation where integrated EtherNet/IP control enhances productivity. It excels in environments demanding hygienic or washdown compatibility when paired with VPF/VPH variants, though this model is standard-duty.
