ABB | 3HAC17326-1/02 | SGMAS-12ARA-AB11 | AC Servo Motor

The ABB 3HAC17326-1/02 is a high-performance AC servo motor manufactured by Yaskawa (SGMAS series) specifically for ABB robotics and automation systems. This motor is commonly used in the joints of industrial robots (such as the IRB 140 or IRB 1600 series) and specialized motion control stages. It is characterized by its high power-to-weight ratio, low inertia, and integrated high-resolution encoder, which allows for the rapid and precise positioning required in high-speed assembly and welding applications.

Product Instructions

The 3HAC17326-1/02 servo motor should be mounted to a rigid surface with adequate thermal conductivity to assist in heat dissipation. When connecting the motor to a drive (such as an ABB DSQC or Yaskawa Sigma series), ensure that the power and encoder cables are properly shielded and grounded to prevent electrical noise interference. The motor’s absolute encoder requires a battery backup if the system needs to retain its position data during power-off states. Do not exceed the maximum radial or axial load ratings on the motor shaft, as this can lead to premature bearing failure. For units equipped with a holding brake, verify that 24V DC is applied to release the brake before attempting to rotate the motor via the drive software.

Q&A: Common Questions

What is the significance of the ‘SGMAS’ designation? SGMAS is a Yaskawa designation for their “Sigma-II” series of low-inertia servo motors. These are designed for applications where the load is light but requires very fast movement and settling times.

How do I handle an ‘Encoder Error’ alarm? Check the encoder cable for continuity and ensure the connector is free of oil or coolant. If the error is an “Absolute Data Loss,” it usually indicates that the backup battery in the drive unit has failed and needs replacement.

Can I run this motor without a specific ABB drive? While the motor is a Yaskawa SGMAS model, the ABB 3HAC part number often signifies specific cable connectors or software tuning parameters optimized for ABB controllers. It can be run by standard Yaskawa Sigma-II drives if the wiring and parameters are correctly configured.

Is this motor water-resistant? The SGMAS series typically carries an IP65 rating (excluding the shaft opening). This means it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets, but it should not be submerged or subjected to high-pressure washdowns without additional protection.
