B&R 8V1320.001-2 ACOPOS Drive Module Unmatched Performance for Motion Control

B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1320.001-2: Mission-Critical Resilience for Demanding Industrial Environments

Precision Power Fortified Against Extreme Conditions

Where standard industrial drives succumb to chemical corrosion, conductive dust, and thermal stress, the B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1320.001-2 delivers uncompromised 30A continuous/90A peak performance in the world's most punishing industrial environments. Engineered as the environmentally 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, chemical plant operations, and offshore applications. With 12 kW power density and sub-85ns POWERLINK synchronization, it redefines reliability where temperature swings, humidity extremes, and corrosive agents cripple conventional drives.
