Kinetix VP-Series

The Allen-Bradley Kinetix VP-Series is a family of premium permanent-magnet rotary servo motors spanning over 610 catalog numbers across four sub-families: VPL (low inertia), VPF (food-grade epoxy), VPS (stainless), and VPH (hygienic stainless) — each engineered to pair with Kinetix servo drives in demanding motion control applications. Decoding a catalog number reveals the motor's full specification: the voltage class (A = 200V-class, B = 400V-class), bolt-circle diameter in millimeters (063 through 300 for VP-series frames), magnet stack length (1–6, where a higher number indicates greater torque and inertia), rated speed code (E = 3500 rpm, M = 6000 rpm, and others), feedback type (C/P/W/Q for Hiperface DSL variants), and shaft configuration (J = keyed, K = keyless). For example, a VPL-B0753M is a 400V-class, low-inertia motor with a 75 mm bolt-circle frame, three magnet stacks, and a 6000 rpm rated speed, while a VPH-B1304E is a hygienic stainless variant on a 130 mm frame rated at 3500 rpm. Full specifications, wiring details, and selection guidance are available in the Kinetix VP-Series Technical Data (KNX-TD001).
