About ECM-E3L-C20401SSE Delta Servo Motor + B 100W L , Torque Nm - 0.32 , RPM - 3000
The ECM-E3L-C20401SSE is the version of your motor equipped with an internal
electromagnetic brake (indicated by the
"S" in the model name). This adds to the length and weight compared to the standard model. [

Key Differences from the Non-Brake (RSE) Model
- Length: The brake adds approximately 1.34 inches (34.1 mm) to the total body length.
- Weight: It weighs approximately 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs), which is about 0.3 kg more than the non-brake version.
- Brake Function: The built-in brake is for clamping the shaft (holding position) when power is off; it should not be used for dynamic braking or stopping the motor while it is spinning. [1, 2, 3]
Mounting Details
- PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter): 1.81 inches (46 mm).
- Mounting Hole Diameter: 0.18 inches (4.5 mm).
The primary function of the ECM-E3L-C20401SSE is to provide precise, high-speed motion control with an integrated
safety holding brake. [

Core Functionality
- Precision Positioning: It converts electrical signals from a Delta E3 Series Drive into exact mechanical movement. Its 24-bit encoder allows the system to monitor and correct its position over 16 million times per revolution.
- Dynamic Response: As a "low inertia" motor, it is designed for rapid acceleration and deceleration (up to 3000 RPM rated / 6000 RPM max), making it ideal for tasks like high-speed component picking or packaging. [1, 2, 3]
The "SSE" (Brake) Function
The unique function of this specific model (ending in
SSE) compared to the standard version is its
integrated electromagnetic holding brake: [
1]
- Static Holding: The brake is "power-off activated." When power is removed (intentionally or during a failure), internal springs clamp the motor shaft to hold the load in place.
- Safety (Vertical Axes): Its most critical function is on vertical (Z-axis) applications. It prevents the machine head or heavy load from falling or "back-driving" due to gravity when the motor is disabled.
- Emergency Braking: While not intended for stopping a moving load during normal operation (which would cause wear), it acts as an emergency stop mechanism to lock the axis if the system loses power. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Common Use Cases
- Vertical CNC Axes: Holding tools in place when the machine is turned off.
- Z-Axis Robotics: Ensuring a robotic arm doesn't drop its payload during a power outage.
- Medical Equipment: Maintaining the position of sensitive imaging or sampling devices.
The Delta ECM-E3L-C20401SSE (the version with a brake) weighs approximately:
For comparison, the
ECM-E3L-C20401RSE (the standard model without a brake) is lighter, weighing approximately
0.68 kg (1.5 lbs). [
