The Panasonic MDMF302L1H6M is the 3.0 kW
Middle-Inertia AC servo motor equipped with an integrated
holding brake. It is designed for heavy-duty applications where high torque and vertical safety are paramount. [

Because this motor combines a 3kW stator, a middle-inertia rotor, and a brake assembly, it is one of the larger units in the A6 3kW class. [

The primary function of the Panasonic MDMF302L1H6M is to provide high-torque power with a fail-safe safety lock for heavy-duty industrial machinery. It is the "heavy-lifter" of the 3.0 kW range.
1. Fail-Safe Position Holding (Primary Brake Function)
The "H" designation identifies the integrated electromagnetic brake.
- Safety Lock: It automatically locks the motor shaft using internal springs whenever power is lost or an Emergency Stop is triggered.
- Vertical Protection: Its most critical job is to prevent heavy machine parts (like a large milling head or vertical lift) from crashing down due to gravity.
- Strong Holding Force: It provides 16.1 Nm of holding torquehigher than the motor's running torqueensuring the load stays "frozen" without needing active motor power.
2. High-Torque Force (Heavy Duty Output)
While high-speed motors spin faster, this motor focuses on pushing power.
- Raw Strength: It delivers a constant 14.3 Nm of torque (surging to 42.9 Nm peak). This allows it to move heavy loads that require massive force to start, such as large-diameter ball screws.
- Applications: Ideal for large CNC machines, industrial presses, and heavy robotic arms.
3. "Middle-Inertia" for Stability
The rotor inside this motor is specifically weighted to act as a mechanical stabilizer.
- Inertia Matching: Moving a heavy load with a lightweight motor causes vibration. The "Middle-Inertia" design provides a physical balance, allowing the motor to control high-mass loads with smooth, steady motion and zero shaking.
- Easier Tuning: It makes the machine much easier to calibrate because the motor isn't "jumpy" when the weight of the load changes.
4. Precision at Scale
Despite its brute force, it maintains surgical accuracy:
- 23-bit Accuracy: It tracks its position within 8,388,608 steps per turn. This allows for micron-level precision even on machines moving hundreds of kilograms.
- Real-Time Correction: It communicates with the driver 3,200 times per second to instantly correct any deviations in speed or path.
5. Rugged Protection (IP67)
- It is functionally sealed against heavy dust, oil, and water splashes. This allows it to work reliably on factory floors where metal shavings and coolants are present.
