Torque Curves
48V Max is the torque of the motor when the Torque Limits (TQL) command is set to Max
(see SilverLode Command Reference for details on the TQL command). Operating the motor
in this mode requires proper heat sinking on the Controller/Driver and motor to prevent
overheating.
All other torque curves represent motor torque at the specified voltage when the TQL
command is set to 100%. These curves represent torque up to 100% duty cycle depending
on ambient temperature, heat sinking and air flow.
Important: There is a slight reduction in available torque if the shaft seal (sold separately) is
used due to the resistance of the quad seal around the shaft. Sold & Serviced By:

Electrical Specifications
Encoder Interface
Encoder Count Per Revolution: 8000
Index Pulse: 49 - SilverLode controller/drivers internally translate to a single index pulse.
Motor Memory
I-Grade motors come from the factory with a memory chip containing encoder and motor
information. This information is automatically uploaded by the SilverDust IG/IGB
controller/driver to simplify the initialization process.
Temperature Sensor
All QCI IP65 motors contain a sensor to read motor temperature. This sensor automatically
reads in the background when controlled by a SilverDust IG/IGB controller/driver.
Temperature can be read from a dedicated register and/or used to halt the servo in the case of
an over temperature condition.

Note: The motor construction uses a wave spring to compensate for mechanical
tolerances and thermal expansion in the axial shaft direction. It is important to not push
the shaft into the motor in operation or when mounting gears or pulleys as this may
damage the encoder disk.
Operational Temperature
-10 C to +80 C
Storage Temperature
-40 C to +85 C
Humidity
Continuous specification is 95% RH non-condensing.
Shock
Limitation is approximately 50g/11ms.
IP Rating - Standard
IP50
IP Rating 6T Option
IP65 is achieved if both a shaft seal and IP65 Motor Interface Cable (QCI-C-D15P-T14S-nn)
are used.
NOTE: The IP65 rating is for applications with occasional wash downs. It is not meant for
continuous wet applications or high-pressure wash downs. See IP65 spec for more details
(CEI IEC 529).
Recommended Components
Start-Up Kit
There are several start-up kits available, each based off a servo controller/driver. With a Start-
Up kit, power supply and motor/encoder, you will have everything you need to get started. See
the Start-Up Kit technical documents on our website for more details.
If you would rather buy the components individually, QCI recommends the following:
