Description
Core Product Summary (Brand / Model / Key Attributes)
The Danaher Motion FSA80 (commonly designated FSA80 II, e.g., part number 16098-01D) is a three-phase servo amplifier from the SAM Servo Amplifiers series. It is designed for industrial motion-control applications requiring precise servo drive performance.
The unit operates from a 400 V AC three-phase supply, delivers up to 80 A rated current and 6 kW continuous power, and uses natural convection cooling. It supports EasyBus digital communication for integration with compatible controllers and includes onboard diagnostics with error-code display. Typical mounting is rack or cabinet style.

Detailed Product Overview
The Danaher Motion FSA80 is a servo amplifier intended for use in industrial automation and motion-control systems. It converts three-phase 400 V AC mains into controlled power for servo motors, providing the current and voltage regulation required for precise positioning, speed, and torque control.
Rated at 80 A and 6 kW continuous output, the amplifier is suited to medium-power servo axes. Natural convection cooling keeps the unit free of forced-air fans under normal conditions, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance points; optional fan assistance can be added where ambient temperatures or duty cycles demand it.
Communication is handled via the EasyBus digital interface, allowing the amplifier to exchange command and status data with compatible Danaher / Kollmorgen motion controllers or higher-level systems. Built-in self-diagnostics and a front-panel error-code display support rapid fault identification during commissioning and operation. Standard protection functions include overload, undervoltage and thermal shutdown to safeguard both the amplifier and the connected motor.
The mechanical design is intended for secure mounting inside industrial control cabinets or racks. The FSA80 forms part of the broader SAM servo-amplifier family and is typically selected when an existing Danaher Motion installation requires a matching high-current drive stage.
Engineering Selection Highlights
- 400 V AC three-phase input and 80 A continuous rating → matches common industrial servo power levels up to 6 kW.
- EasyBus digital communication → enables direct integration with compatible Danaher motion controllers.
- Natural convection cooling → reduces fan maintenance and acoustic noise in cabinet installations.
- Onboard error-code display and self-diagnostics → shortens troubleshooting time during commissioning and service.
- Standard protection suite (overload, undervoltage, thermal) → protects the drive and motor under fault conditions.
- Rack/cabinet mounting → fits conventional industrial control enclosures.
- Operating temperature range –10 °C to +60 °C → covers typical factory-floor environments.
