Detailed Product Overview
The SEW-EURODRIVE DFS56LTFRH1MKK is identified by the complete type designation DFS56L/TF/RH1M/KK. It is a permanent-magnet synchronous servo motor belonging to the DFS series.
- DFS denotes the synchronous servo motor family.
- 56 indicates frame size 56.
- L specifies the length/power variant.
- /TF indicates the presence of a thermistor for winding temperature monitoring.
- specifies the RH1M resolver as the feedback device.
- /KK indicates terminal-box connection instead of the plug-connector options (SM/SB).
According to SEW technical documentation for the DFS series, the DFS56L variant has a standstill torque in the region of 2 Nm and a rated current of approximately 2.4 A (exact values depend on the specific winding and operating point). The motor is intended for supply from a compatible SEW servo inverter and is typically operated in the 3000 min⁻¹ speed class.
The RH1M resolver provides robust, absolute position feedback that is widely used in industrial servo applications. The TF thermistor allows the connected inverter to monitor motor temperature and implement thermal protection. The KK terminal box version facilitates conventional wiring of power, resolver and thermistor circuits.
The motor is designed for continuous industrial duty in environments consistent with the IP65 protection class standard for the DFS series. It does not include a holding brake in this specific type code; brake options are designated by additional codes such as /B.
Correct parameterization of the connected servo inverter (motor data, resolver settings, thermal monitoring) is required for proper operation. Installation, wiring and commissioning must follow the official SEW operating instructions for DFS/CFM synchronous servomotors.
