SINAMICS S120 drive solutions for the
coordinated motion control of your
machine: efficient multi-axis configurations
with modular multi-axis or
autonomous single-axis modules. The
modular system covers the performance
range from 0.12 to 1,200 kW. In conjunction
with the SINUMERIK solution line,
the SINAMICS S120 is already the perfect
basis for modular plant and machine
concepts in the performance range up
to 300 kW. The standardized, integrated
engineering tools substantially reduce
engineering costs.
DRIVE-CLiQ: the digital interface

All SINAMICS S120 components, including
the motors and encoders, are connected
to each other by the common
serial interface known as DRIVE-CLiQ.
All components have an electronic rating
plate incorporating all the relevant technical
data.
This data is automatically recorded by
the SINUMERIK control module via

The right motor
for every feed drive
Whether high static torques or rated powers, high maximum
speeds or dynamics, air- or water-cooled, linear or rotary
motions – our comprehensive range of motors offers the
right type for every drive task across a wide performance
range. These include synchronous and asynchronous servo-
motors, as well as highly innovative linear and rotary direct
drives.
1FK7 servomotors
for standard applications
The 1FK7 series of synchronous servomotors
have proven themselves as the standard
for motion control tasks. They require
little space for fitting and are characterized
by a high power/weight ratio, high dynamics
as well as a favorable torque/moment
of inertia ratio. They also offer a plug
system with freely rotatable line direction
and have a high degree of protection. The
static torques of the motors lie between
0.18 and 48 Nm. Their rated speeds range
between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm.

1FT7 servomotors
for high-performance applications
The new 1FT7 synchronous servomotors
feature excellent concentricity and are
designed for use in demanding machine
tool manufacturing scenarios. The mo -
tors cover rated speeds from 1,500 to
6,000 rpm and static torques from 2 to
120 Nm. They are extremely compact
and feature a newly developed encoder
coupling. This provides the encoder with
a high level of protection against sudden
loading. These new motors have a cross
profile that facilitates easy mounting
even from the back. At the same time,
a rotatable plug with a quick lock simplifies
connection and cable routing in all
mounting positions for shorter mounting
and service times.
Direct drives for maximum precision and dynamics
1FN3 linear motor
The main advantage of linear direct drive
technology is the extensive avoidance
not only of elasticity, play and frictional
effects, but also natural oscillations in the
drive train.
This allows for maximum dynamics and
precision in Motion Control. In combination
with the SINAMICS S120, we offer
you a drive system that optimally covers
all machine tool manufacturing requirements.
Our 1FN3 series of linear motors
are characterized by the highest traversing
speed of up to 800 m/min, extremely high
dynamics and outstanding precision. They
have IP65 degree of protection and enable
maximum forces up to 20,700 N. In addition,
they do not have any transmission
elements such as ball screws, couplings
or belts.
From left to right: 1FK7, 1FT7, 1FN3, 1FW6
1FW6 torque motor
Siemens torque motors are ideally suited
for extremely high-torque rotary axes and
they can be integrated directly into the
machine. They work with maximum precision
and dynamics as they avoid elasticity
and play in the drive train. Total weight
and frictional forces have been minimized.
They are also characterized by their high
availability as they have no wear-prone
transmission elements.
Another advantage is that they require
little space due to their compact design
and small number of components. The
1FW6 torque motor is the first choice for
installation in rotary indexing machines,
rotary tables, swivel and rotary axes,
spindle machines, dynamic tool magazines
and main spindles in milling machines.
The torque motors offer torques ranging
up to 8.570 Nm.

Main spindle motors for highperformance
machine tool applications
Main spindles of turning, milling and grinding machines can be driven
in many different ways such as by belt drive, hollow-shaft motor, built-in
motor or integrated motor spindle. Cutting performance, manufacturing
accuracy and availability of the main spindle drive make a major contri-
bution to the machine’s productivity. This is where motor spindles are
clearly on the rise. Their advantages include their very high maximum
speeds and their extremely low susceptibility to vibration. The result:
high productivity and surface quality.
Asynchronous main spindle motors
1PH7 motors –
rugged and low-maintenance
The air-cooled, four-pole asynchronous
1PH7 motors with cage rotors are used in
small compact machine tools, complex
machining centers and turning machines.
Their performance ranges from 3.7 to
100 kW. The maximum speeds range up
to 12,000 rpm.
1PH4 motors –
water-cooled for tough conditions
Compact, water-cooled 1PH4 motors
are recommended everywhere where
extreme environmental conditions make
air-cooling impractical. They have a high
power/weight ratio and constantly low
temperature values. The coupled mechanical
systems are not thermally stressed
as even the flange is cooled. The performance
of these motors ranges from
7.5 to 65 kW, the maximum speed is
12,000 rpm.

1PM4 and 1PM6 motors with
hollow shafts
1PM4 and 1PM6 motors have been specifically
designed for direct mounting on
mechanical spindles. The hollow, drilled
shaft enables cooling lubricant to be fed
to interior-cooled tools. Their performance
ranges from 3.7 to 27 kW and the
maximum speeds of both versions range
up to 18,000 rpm. The air-cooled 1PM6
motors are rugged and nearly maintenance-free,
four-pole squirrel-cage induction
motors with a performance ranging
from 3.7 to 22 kW. When used in modern
machines, liquid-cooled 1PM4 motors
maintain constantly low temperatures
despite having a high power/weight ratio.
Asynchronous built-in motors
1PH2 motors for direct drive
The 1PH2 built-in motors are liquid-cooled,
three-phase asynchronous. They are used
for applications where the motor must
be integrated into the machine based on
the compact design. The smooth, precise
running of the spindle, even at the lowest
speeds, ensures that the workpiece is
machined to the highest accuracy and
without the effects of transverse drive
forces. Their performance ranges from
7.5 to 30.9 kW.
Synchronous built-in motors
Synchronous main spindle motors:
highly dynamic and extremely compact
1FE1 built-in motors are compact, watercooled
synchronous motors which are
supplied as components: stator and
rotor. Their maximum speeds range up
to 40,000 rpm with a performance range
up to 104 kW (S1 mode), and are offered
in the main variants high-torque and
high-speed. Permanently-excited motor
spindles (PE spindles) increase the power/
weight ratio and cost-effectiveness of
CNC machines. They are used where the
shortest ramp-up times are required and
the highest demands are also placed
upon machining quality, accuracy and
smooth running.
From left to right: 1PH7, 1PH4, 1PM4 and 1PM6, 1PH2, 1FE1, 2SP1
Motor spindles
with high control dynamics
Motor spindles are characterized by their
rigid, compact construction, extremely
high power/weight ratio coupled with
re duced weight and lower frictional forces.
There are no additional transmission elements
such as belts or gears. This enables
the shortest machining times and high
control dynamics. The direct measurement
of the spindle position and speed gives you
high machining accuracy.
In our portfolio, we have the following
series:
• Standardized motor spindles for milling
machines – for use in vertical and horizontal
machine designs
• Motor spindles for milling, drilling,
turning and grinding technologies
• Motor spindles that we develop specifically
to individual customer specifications

Everything for safe operation
Your machine tool is safe and operable
under all required operating conditions.
For example, in setup and test modes with
the protective door open. The range of
functions includes functions for reliably
monitoring speed and standstill, safe working
range and protection zone limitation,
range recognition and direct connection
22
of all safety-related signals and their internal
logic combination. All safety functions
have been certified according to the latest
standards by testing agencies that are recognized
around the globe. According to

Intelligent fire safety
with Sinorix al-deco STD
European law requires fire protection for any machine tools and re-
lated equipment exposed to fire hazards. The Sinorix al-deco STD is
an intelligent fire extinguishing system that can be flexibly installed
into machine tools. It features unpowered detection and extinguishing
functions, online monitoring and automatic recording of all safety-
related functions. For more information, see www.siemens.com/sinorix
Sinorix al-deco STD –
advantages at a glance:
• Maximum operational reliability thanks
to unpowered operation
• Online-monitoring as well as alarm
signal in the event of a fire
• Comprehensive monitoring based on
recordings of safety-related data
• Data accessibility via USB interface
• Appropriate operational maintenance
Extinguish fire quickly and safely
The Sinorix al-deco STD extinguishing
unit is based on a pneumatic system
for detecting a fire and triggering the
extinguishers. That means the system
is impervious to technical interference
and able to detect and extinguish fires
without any electrical power whatsoever.
To enable this, a system of tubing is laid
in the interior of the machine tool. This
tube is referred to as Lifdes (Linear Fire
Detection Source) and, under pressure,
acts as a linear fire sensor that breaks at
temperatures greater than 110 degrees
Celsius. If there is a loss of pressure in
the tube, an attached valve triggers the
extinguishing mechanism. For comprehensive
monitoring, all safety-related
functions are monitored online; unusual
events are signaled acoustically and with
a visual display. These functions, along
with the operating data, are automatically
recorded in long-term memory and
can be retrieved via a USB interface.
