About MDMFC12L1H6M Panasonic A6 11000W Motor + BRK , Torque Nm - 70, RPM - 1500
The Panasonic MINAS A6 MDMFC12L1H6M is the high-power 11 kW middle inertia motor equipped with an integrated electromagnetic holding brake. This is the "heavy-duty" version of the 11 kW series, designed for safety in large-scale vertical or high-load applications.
Physical Specifications (Imperial Units)
- Weight: Approximately 131.2 lbs (59.5 kg).
- Note: The brake adds about 24 lbs compared to the non-brake model.
- Width & Height (Flange): 8.66 inches (220 mm).
- Total Length:
- Body Length (with Brake): ~11.89 inches (302 mm).
- Total Length (Body + Shaft): ~16.45 inches (418 mm).
- Shaft Dimensions:
- Diameter: 2.17 inches (55 mm).
- Length: 4.57 inches (116 mm).
Core Technical Specs
- Rated Output: 11,000 W (11 kW).
- Rated Torque: 70.0 Nm (Peak Torque: 175 Nm).
- Rated Speed: 1500 r/min.
- Holding Brake: Included (24V DC).
- Encoder: 23-bit Absolute (8.38 million pulses/rev).
- Protection: IP67 (dust-tight and water-immersion resistant).
Key Function
The primary function of the "H" model is Gravity/Load Management. On an 11 kW machine, a power failure could cause a massive mechanical slide. This motors internal brake automatically engages to lock the 70 Nm shaft instantly when power is lost, preventing machine damage or injury.

The Panasonic MDMFC12L1H6M functions as an Extra-High Power Safety Actuator. It combines the massive output of an 11 kW motor with a heavy-duty mechanical locking system.
1. Vertical Load & Safety Management (The Brake)
The defining function of this model is its integrated electromagnetic holding brake.
- Anti-Gravity Lock: In 11 kW applications, the parts being moved (like a heavy press head or a large robotic arm) are extremely heavy. This brake functions to mechanically lock the shaft with over 110 Nm of static friction the moment power is cut, preventing a "free-fall" that could crush equipment.
- Emergency Positioning: It ensures the machine stays in its exact "last known position" during an E-stop or power outage.
2. High-Force Precision Drive
- 70 Nm Continuous Torque: It functions to provide constant, high-power force for demanding tasks. It can sustain this output at 1500 RPM, making it ideal for heavy-duty manufacturing that cannot afford to slow down under load.
- Peak Power Burst (175 Nm): It has the function to provide a massive "kick" of torque for fractions of a second. This is used to overcome "stiction" (static friction) when starting a massive machine from a dead stop.
3. Microscopic Resolution for Massive Loads
- 23-bit Feedback: Even though the motor weighs over 130 lbs, it functions with the same precision as a tiny laboratory motor. It monitors its own position at a resolution of 8.38 million points per turn, allowing a multi-ton machine to position parts within microns.
- Absolute Encoding: It functions as a permanent digital record of the machine's position. You never need to "home" or "zero" the axis, saving significant setup time every time the machine is turned on.
4. Industrial Environment Survival
- IP67 Rating: It is fully sealed against high-pressure water jets and heavy dust. It is designed to function inside a machining center where it is constantly sprayed with metal-cutting coolant and hot chips.
- Vibration Resistance: It is built to withstand the high physical vibrations common in 11 kW heavy-industrial environments without losing encoder signal or mechanical alignment.
