About MDMF152L1H6M Panasonic A6 1500W Motor + BRK , Torque Nm - 7.16, RPM - 2000
The Panasonic MDMF152L1H6M is the Middle-Inertia, brake-equipped version of the 1.5 kW A6 series. Compared to the low-inertia models (MSMF) you looked at earlier, this motor provides significantly higher torque (7.16 Nm vs 4.77 Nm) but at a lower rated speed.
Function
- High-Torque Precision: Ideal for heavy-load applications like large ball screws, industrial robotics, and high-mass material handling where stability is more critical than raw speed.
- Fail-Safe Holding: The integrated holding brake (the "H" in the model) automatically locks the shaft when power is lost. This is essential for preventing vertical axes from crashing or maintaining machine position during an E-stop.
- Medium Inertia: Provides a better "inertia match" for larger mechanical loads, leading to smoother motion and easier tuning of the servo loop.
Physical Specifications (Converted to Inches)
Because this is a Middle-Inertia motor with a brake, it is significantly heavier and larger than the MSMF series.

1. High-Torque Motion Control
Unlike the high-speed "MSMF" models, this "MDMF" motor focuses on power and stability. It provides a high rated torque of 7.16 Nm, making it the "workhorse" for moving heavy mechanical components like:
- Large-diameter ball screws.
- Heavy-duty robotic joints.
- Industrial material handling systems.
2. "Middle-Inertia" Stability
The "Middle-Inertia" design is its most important functional characteristic.
- The Problem: If you try to move a heavy load with a "Low-Inertia" motor, the system often vibrates or becomes unstable (the "tail wagging the dog" effect).
- The Solution: The MDMF152L1H6M has a heavier internal rotor. This provides a better inertia match for large loads, resulting in much smoother movement, easier tuning, and higher stability during operation.
3. Fail-Safe Holding (Integrated Brake)
The "H" in the model number signifies a built-in electromagnetic holding brake.
- Vertical Axis Safety: Its main job is to prevent a machine axis (like a heavy cutting head or elevator) from falling due to gravity when power is turned off or during an emergency stop.
- Automatic Locking: It is a "power-off" brake; it automatically locks the shaft using spring pressure whenever 24V DC power is removed.
- High Holding Force: It provides 13.7 Nm of holding torquenearly double the motor's running torqueensuring the load stays exactly where it belongs.
4. High-Resolution Feedback
Despite its power, it maintains extreme precision. The 23-bit encoder allows the controller to know the motor's position within 8,388,608 increments per single turn, enabling high-precision machining and placement.
