B&R 8EI022HWD10.0200-1 ACOPOS P3 High-Power Dual-Axis Servo Drive 2x22A 18kW

The B&R 8EI022HWD10.0200-1 is a high-power dual-axis ACOPOS P3 servo drive for machines that require two substantial motion axes in one module. Each motor connection provides 9 kW continuous power, 22 A continuous current and up to 55 A peak current.

Its main difference from the compact HWD modules is its power class. The drive uses a 133 mm wide, double-width housing and provides 18 kW total continuous DC-bus power. It is intended for paired high-load axes rather than small auxiliary movements.

Because this is a high-current module, replacement selection should include verification of mains protection, motor cables, cabinet cooling, external braking resistor, connector set and front cover.

Key Features

• Two high-current servo outputs in one ACOPOS P3 module
• 22 A continuous and 55 A peak current on each axis
• 9 kW continuous motor power per connection
• 18 kW total continuous power at rated conditions
• POWERLINK V2 communication with an integrated two-port hub
• Configurable digital multi-encoder interface for each axis
• External braking resistor capacity for regenerative applications

Typical Applications

• Dual winding and unwinding systems
• Large synchronized conveyor drives
• Printing and converting machine main axes
• High-load feeder and press-transfer mechanisms
• Paired material-handling axes
• Two-motor machine sections requiring coordinated high torque

FAQ

Q1. Does 18 kW mean 18 kW on each axis?
No. The specified total continuous power is 18 kW, with 9 kW continuous power listed for each motor connection.

Q2. What is the peak current of each axis?
Each motor connection can provide up to 55 A peak current under the specified operating conditions.

Q3. Does this model use an integrated braking resistor?
The high-power 8EI022 series specifies an external braking resistor connection with a minimum permissible resistance of 13 ohms. Confirm the resistor rating for the machine’s regenerative energy.

Q4. Is it the same physical size as the 4.5 A HWD module?
No. The 8EI022HWD10 uses a 133 mm wide housing and weighs approximately 8 kg. The lower-current 4.5 A HWD module is only 66 mm wide.
