About ECM-E3M-C20604SSE Delta Servo Motor + B 400M L , Torque Nm - 1.27 , RPM - 3000
The Delta ECM-E3M-C20604SSE is the 400W Medium Inertia AC servo motor equipped with an internal electromagnetic holding brake (indicated by the "S" in the suffix).
Dimensions & Weight (Inches/Lbs)
Since it includes a brake and a larger internal stator for the 400W rating, this is the longest model in the 60mm frame series.

Core Functionality
- Safety Holding: The primary function of the "SSE" model is to lock the motor shaft in place when power is disconnected. It provides a holding torque of 1.27 N-m, matching the motor's rated torque.
- Vertical Axis Control: It is specifically designed for Z-axis or vertical applications where it prevents a heavy spindle or tool head from crashing down during a power outage or emergency stop.
- Stable Motion: The medium-inertia rotor makes it easier to tune and control when attached to loads with higher inertia, such as heavy ball screws or large pulleys.
- High Precision: Features the standard E3 series 24-bit resolution encoder, providing ultra-smooth rotation and exact positioning.
Technical Parameters
- Rated Torque: 1.27 N-m (Peak: 3.81 N-m)
- Rated Speed: 3000 RPM (Max: 6000 RPM)
- Protection: IP67 (Dust-tight and water-resistant)
- Compatibility: Pairs with the ASD-E3-0421-L (or -M/-E) servo drive.
The ECM-E3M-C20604SSE is a high-performance
400W medium-inertia servo motor from the Delta
ASDA-E3 series. Its primary function is to provide precise, high-torque motion control with an integrated safety holding mechanism for demanding industrial tasks. [

Core Functions
- Precision Positioning: Equipped with a 22-bit (or 24-bit) high-resolution optical encoder, the motor provides feedback of over 4 million pulses per revolution. This allows for ultra-smooth motion and sub-micron positioning accuracy.
- Safety Holding (Brake): The "SSE" designation indicates a built-in electromagnetic holding brake. Its primary role is to lock the motor shaft when power is removed, preventing heavy or vertical (Z-axis) loads from dropping due to gravity during an emergency stop or power failure.
- Medium Inertia Stability: The "M" series rotor design acts as a mechanical buffer. It is specifically functional for systems with higher load-to-motor inertia ratios, such as belt-driven slides or large lead screws, as it prevents the "jitter" and oscillations common in low-inertia motors.
- Dynamic Response: When paired with an E3 Series Drive, it features a 2.5 kHz response bandwidth, enabling it to react to command changes up to 5 times faster than older standard models. [1, 2, 4, 5]
Industrial Applications
- Vertical CNC Axes: Holding spindles and tool heads securely in place when the machine is powered down.
- Material Handling: Driving conveyor belts and transport systems where consistent torque under varying weights is required.
- Packaging Machinery: Precise indexing and high-speed synchronized movement in food or pharmaceutical production lines. [1, 2, 3]
