Product Introduction
The ELAU ISH100/30058/0/0/00/0/00/01/00 is an iSH100-series permanent magnet synchronous servo motor built for precision motion control applications. It is commonly used with ELAU and Schneider Electric servo drive systems where accurate speed, position, or torque control is required. The motor is typically paired with compatible ELAU servo controllers or drives rather than operated as a standalone component.This unit differs from generic AC motors because it is designed for closed-loop servo control, fast dynamic response, and repeatable positioning. The exact torque, speed, voltage, current, encoder resolution, and brake configuration must be confirmed from the physical nameplate and controller parameter set. Do not assume performance values from similar-looking ELAU motors, since small changes in the configuration code can affect feedback type, winding, brake, or mechanical interface.
Installation & Configuration Guide
Preparation — 10 min
- Lock out and tag out the main power supply.
- Confirm the controller or drive model is compatible with the iSH100 motor family.
- Record the full motor nameplate data, including part number, serial number, voltage, current, speed, torque, feedback type, and brake rating.
- Check the shaft, flange, connector, and cable for shipping damage or contamination.
- Prepare the correct power cable, feedback cable, and brake cable if applicable.
Removal — 5–10 min
- Remove power and wait for the drive bus voltage to discharge.
- Mark the existing cable connections before disconnecting.
- Remove the mechanical load from the motor shaft.
- Unbolt the motor from the machine mounting surface.
- Remove the old motor and protect the mating flange surface.
Installation — 10 min
- Clean the mounting surface and check alignment.
- Mount the motor using the correct fasteners and torque values.
- Connect the motor power phases in the correct order.
- Connect the feedback cable carefully; bent pins or loose connectors are common failure points.
- If the motor has a holding brake, connect the brake supply according to the drive manual.
Power-On & Test — 10 min
- Verify supply voltage is within the drive and motor nameplate range.
- Power up the controller or drive.
- Check for fault codes before enabling the axis.
- Run a low-speed test without load if possible.
- Confirm rotation direction, feedback counting, brake release, and alarm-free operation.
- Only apply full load after position, speed, and torque parameters are verified.
Troubleshooting Quick Reference
| Symptom | Most Likely Cause | First Check |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not rotate | Missing enable, wrong wiring, or drive fault | Check drive enable signal and power cable phases |
| Overcurrent fault | Short circuit, wrong cable, or damaged winding | Inspect motor cables, connectors, and phase resistance |
| Position error | Feedback mismatch or loose encoder cable | Verify feedback type and connector seating |
| Motor overheats | Excessive load, wrong tuning, or blocked cooling | Check load, duty cycle, ambient temperature, and tuning |
| Brake does not release | Wrong brake voltage or missing brake control signal | Measure brake supply and check drive brake output |
| Vibration or noise | Misalignment, loose coupling, or bad tuning | Inspect mechanical coupling and retune the axis |
| Intermittent faults | Damaged cable, poor grounding, or loose terminal | Check cable strain relief, shielding, and grounding |
Dimensions, Mounting & Wiring Notes
- Dimensions: H × W × D must be confirmed from the physical motor; frame size is 100 mm, but total length depends on stack and option codes.
- Mounting Method: Flange-mounted servo motor with standard industrial mounting interface.
- Shaft: Verify shaft diameter, keyway, and pilot dimension from the nameplate before ordering a replacement.
- Power Wiring: Use shielded motor cables with correct phase sequence.
- Feedback Wiring: Keep feedback cables separate from power cables where possible.
- Brake Wiring: If equipped, connect the brake cable to the designated brake output; do not power the brake directly from uncontrolled sources.
- Grounding: Connect the motor frame ground properly to reduce noise and improve safety.
FAQ
Is ISH100/30058/0/0/00/0/00/01/00 a servo motor or a servo drive?
It is a servo motor, not a drive. The iSH100 series is a family of ELAU permanent magnet servo motors. You still need a compatible ELAU or Schneider Electric servo drive/controller to operate it.Can I use this motor with any VFD?
No. This is a servo motor, not a standard AC induction motor. A generic variable frequency drive is usually not suitable. It should be used with a compatible ELAU/Schneider servo drive that supports the motor’s feedback and control requirements.I need to replace an old motor. Will this exact part number work?
Only if the replacement has the same mechanical mounting, shaft, feedback type, brake option, and electrical ratings. Even small differences in the configuration code can change the feedback device or brake setup, so compare the full nameplate before installing.Do you have the torque and speed data for this motor?
Not from the part number alone. The exact rated torque, speed, voltage, current, and encoder type should be read from the motor nameplate or confirmed through the controller parameter set.What is the most common mistake when replacing this motor?
Assuming a similar-looking ELAU motor is interchangeable. The wrong feedback type or brake option is a frequent problem. Always photograph the nameplate and connector layout before removing the old motor.Is this motor still manufactured?
This model is treated as discontinued or surplus in many markets. Availability depends on existing stock, and lead time should be confirmed before purchase.Can I run it without the original ELAU controller?
Technically possible in some cases, but not recommended without verified compatibility. The motor needs a drive that matches its feedback device, winding characteristics, and control requirements.
