    The new SM3416DT -PLS2 Series SmartMotor is a complete, programmable motion-control system that uses a servomotor, amplifier, encoder, and motion controller in a single package.

    Features include high-speed position capture for packaging, labeling, and vision-registration applications; advanced torque overshoot braking for safe stopping of high moment of inertia loads; mode-torque-brake for fast smooth stops during E-stop or other faults; and an innovative eight-pole, segmented-stator design for higher energy density and efficiency. The servo peaks at over 900 W, breaking the 1-hp barrier.
