Notes on this data

Still listed in lineup. SANMOTION K (2019) is mounting-compatible and offers lower cogging/losses, but Sanyo does not call it a T replacement.

Specify Motion is not affiliated with Sanyo Denki Co., Ltd.. Sanyo Denki and SANMOTION T (DC servo) are used only to identify the product. Comparisons use published figures; always confirm against the current datasheet.

Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures

Engineers often come to us with a Sanyo Denki part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.

Meets or exceeds on the published figure compared

Low-voltage brushless DC servo motors for 48 or 96 VDC systems, with a 12-slot/10-pole design, matched to the Kinco FD1X5 drive and aimed at robotics, CNC and automated lines.

Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
