Overview
The Allen-Bradley VPL-B1001M-PJ14AA is a Series A Kinetix VP low-inertia rotary servo motor manufactured by Rockwell Automation. This 480V AC Kinetix VPL low inertia servo motor features a 24V DC holding brake, 100 mm bolt circle frame size, and a 6000 RPM rated speed. Kinetix VPL low-inertia motors feature single-turn or multi-turn high-resolution absolute encoders, are available with or without 24V DC brakes, and these compact brushless servo motors meet the demanding requirements of high-performance motion systems. This unit is offered in tested used condition for cost-effective replacement of installed Kinetix VP axes.
Key Features
- Permanent-magnet brushless rotary servo motor, 400V class (480V AC)
- 100 mm IEC metric mounting flange with single magnet stack for compact integration
- Multi-turn absolute digital encoder using Hiperface DSL protocol
- Integrated 24V DC holding brake for load retention at rest
- SpeedTec DIN connectors for single-cable motor power, feedback, and brake
- UL Recognized to applicable UL and CSA standards and CE marked for all applicable directives
Technical Specifications
The VPL-B1001M-PJ14AA is part of Rockwell’s Kinetix VP Low Inertia family. Kinetix VP low-inertia motors are available with multi-turn high-resolution feedback at 18-bit resolution for 262,144 counts per revolution, with the multi-turn (-P) encoder providing absolute position feedback within 4096 turns and an electromechanical design that does not require a battery. Verified parameters below are taken from Rockwell Automation and authorized distributor publications.
Typical Applications
The Allen-Bradley VPL-B1001M-PJ14AA is suited to high-performance motion axes that benefit from low rotor inertia and fast dynamic response, including packaging machinery, indexing tables, pick-and-place, converting, printing, labeling, CNC and machine-tool axes, and general factory automation. Optimized system sizing lowers system cost and improves energy efficiency, the digital feedback device provides real-time motor performance information to the control system, and the Kinetix 2090 single cable design between motor and drive simplifies installation.
Compatibility & Replacements
This Allen-Bradley VPL-B1001M-PJ14AA servo motor is engineered for Rockwell’s Kinetix VP servo drive ecosystem. These motors provide smooth, integrated motion control over the EtherNet/IP network and are optimized for the Kinetix 5500 and 5700 servo drives. Due to the unique characteristics of single cable technology, designed for and tested with Kinetix 5500 drives and Kinetix VP motors, building your own cables or using third-party cable is not an option—use factory Bulletin 2090 single-cable assemblies. Configure and commission within Studio 5000 Logix Designer. Common related catalog numbers in the same 100 mm / 6000 RPM family include VPL-B1001M-PJ12AA (keyless shaft) and VPL-B1001M-PK14AA (keyless variant); confirm exact feedback, shaft, brake, and connector options before substituting.
