B&R ACOPOS 8V1016.001-2 Triple-Shielded Precision Drive for Industrial Operations

B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1016.001-2: Mission-Ready Precision for Extreme Industrial Environments

The Apex of Environmentally Hardened Motion Control

Where conventional industrial drives succumb to chemical corrosion, condensation, and particulate ingress, the B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1016.001-2 delivers uncompromised 16A continuous/48A peak performance in the world’s most punishing conditions. Engineered as the fortified variant of B&R’s legacy ACOPOS platform, this servo drive integrates military-spec conformal coating, ultra-fast 50µs control cycles, and SIL 3 safety systems to thrive in food processing washdowns, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and offshore industrial applications. With 11.0 kW peak power density and POWERLINK synchronization under 100 ns, it redefines reliability in environments where standard drives fail.
