110mm AC Servo Motor: 1.2–1.8 kW for CNC and Automation
The 110mm servo motor is a mid-power, high-inertia permanent-magnet AC servo on a 110 mm (NEMA 42) flange. It runs 1.2 to 1.8 kW with 4 to 6 N·m of rated torque and three times that as peak, on a 220V supply, and turns at up to 3000 rpm. It runs closed-loop on a 17-bit absolute encoder, so the axis knows its position on power-up and holds it under load. The large rotor inertia is the point of this frame — it drives heavier, higher-inertia loads smoothly, which is why it sits on CNC feed axes, robotic arm joints and mid-size automation.
Where the 110mm Servo Fits
The 110 is the mid-power step in the servo range, built for axes that move real load with stable, repeatable motion:
- 1.2 to 1.8 kW and 4 to 6 N·m — enough torque for machine-tool feed axes and loaded automation.
- High rotor inertia — matches heavy and inertial loads directly, so motion stays smooth and easy to tune.
- 17-bit absolute encoder — no homing routine, the axis keeps position through power cycles.
- 220V mains supply, IP65 sealing and Class F insulation for the factory floor.
Why High Rotor Inertia Matters
A servo’s rotor inertia decides how well it controls the load. The working rule is to keep the load inertia within about ten times the motor’s rotor inertia; past that the axis overshoots, oscillates and is hard to tune. The 110 frame carries a large rotor inertia, from 0.45 to 0.75 ×10⁻³ kg·m², so it matches high-inertia loads on its own — belt and pulley drives, large rotary tables, web and roll handling, big gantries. A low-inertia servo on those loads would force a gearbox in just to bring the ratio down. The high-inertia 110 holds the ratio in range without the extra gear stage, so the motion stays smooth and stable.
| Low-Inertia Servo | High-Inertia 110 |
|---|
| Rotor inertia | Small | Large |
| Suited load | Light, low-inertia | Heavy, high-inertia |
| Big load without a gearbox | Inertia mismatch, hard to tune | Matches directly, stays in range |
| Motion character | Fast, snappy | Smooth, stable under load |
| Typical use | Fast pick-and-place | Belt/pulley, rotary tables, CNC feed |
If your load is heavy or has high inertia — a flywheel, a big table, a roll — a high-inertia servo controls it better than a small, snappy one. If the load is light and you want maximum acceleration, a smaller frame is the better match.
Choosing Between 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 kW
All three models share the 110 mm frame and the absolute encoder; they differ in power, torque and speed. The 1.2 kW and 1.5 kW run to 3000 rpm for faster axes; the 1.8 kW trades top speed for more torque at 2000 rpm. Pick by the continuous torque your axis needs and the speed it runs — send the load and duty and we will confirm the model.
Typical Applications
The 110mm servo suits mid-power axes that carry load and need accurate, repeatable motion:
- CNC feed axes and machine-tool slides — repeatable positioning under cutting load.
- Robotic arm joints and positioners — stable control of inertial links.
- Rotary tables, indexers and trunnions — high-inertia loads held in range without heavy gearing.
- Packaging, converting and printing machinery — smooth motion on belt and roll drives.
- Conveyor, gantry and material-handling axes — controlled moves with real load.
- Automation and assembly lines — mid-power positioning across the machine.
Drive, Screw Options and Customization
Each 110mm servo ships with a matched servo drive, sized and tuned to the motor as a tested set, so commutation, gain and inertia matching are set before delivery. The drive runs position, speed and torque modes, with pulse and direction or bus communication depending on the model. For CNC feed axes the motor can be supplied with a ball screw output for direct linear motion. Common changes: shaft diameter, length and keyway to your drawing, a power-off holding brake for vertical axes, a planetary gearbox, and connector and cable to suit. As a servo motor manufacturer, we test the motor and drive together and ship the encoder built in.
