Description
Product Overview
GE IC800SS1228R02-CE is a high-performance AC servo motor designed for industrial automation systems requiring controlled acceleration, accurate positioning, and repeatable motion performance. As part of the GE VersaMotion platform, the motor operates as one element in a complete motion-control architecture consisting of a motion controller, servo amplifier, motor power circuit, and encoder feedback loop.
The GE IC800SS1228R02-CE provides approximately 2.39 kW continuous output power and 10 Nm rated torque, making it suitable for machine axes that require higher torque capability than compact servo motors. The integrated multi-turn absolute encoder provides position feedback information to the servo drive, allowing the control system to maintain accurate positioning without relying only on mechanical referencing after power cycles.
The IC800SS1228R02-CE belongs to the GE VersaMotion servo motor series used in OEM machinery and industrial automation equipment. Typical applications include packaging systems, material handling equipment, converting machinery, and other production systems where precise rotary motion is required.
Unlike a standard AC induction motor, the GE VersaMotion IC800SS1228R02-CE requires a compatible servo amplifier and correct motor parameter configuration. The encoder feedback, motor winding characteristics, shaft design, and amplifier tuning parameters must all match the application. A mechanically compatible motor with different feedback characteristics may result in encoder faults, unstable tuning, or incorrect axis operation.
For replacement projects, engineers should verify the complete motor identification label, amplifier model, cable type, encoder specification, mechanical coupling, and application load before installation. A servo motor replacement is a system-level repair, not simply a direct mechanical swap.
