High-Performance DC Motor for Precision Variable Speed and Servo Applications

The M8000 is a high-performance DC servo motor designed for variable speed and servo applications. Originally developed for use in hydraulic pumps and traction systems requiring high torque and power, the M8000 offers a compact design with high power density and exceptional starting and continuous torque. Featuring high-energy permanent magnets, the M8000 is lighter and more efficient than traditional series/shunt wound motors. Known for its simplicity and reliability, the M8000 is commonly used with DC power supplies. Additionally, the motor can easily be converted into a high-performance servomotor by integrating a feedback device for precision control.
