The Brushless Servo Motors range has been developed to support applications where dynamic performance, precision, and reliability are required without long lead times or complex selection processes.
Within Lafert’s broader brushless servo motor portfolio, with torque values from 0.2 Nm to 390 Nm, which includes a wide variety of mechanical, electrical, and customization options, the Preferred range represents a rationalized and predefined subset. It maintains the core technological advantages of the full range while simplifying selection and reducing lead times.
Built on Lafert’s low-inertia brushless servo motor platform, this range combines standardized configurations with application-oriented flexibility. The result is consistent motion performance across a wide variety of industrial applications, while simplifying motor selection and ensuring faster availability.
Continuous research and development, combined with close collaboration with machine builders and system integrators, has enabled Lafert to consolidate proven servo technology into a predefined Preferred range. While the complete Lafert servo portfolio allows extensive customization and configuration possibilities, the Preferred range focuses on the most requested combinations, ensuring optimized availability without compromising performance standards.
To support quick deployment, the Preferred range has been rationalized into 392 predefined configurations, covering 6 motor sizes with torque values from 0.5 Nm to 42 Nm. Motors are available with or without holding brake, with keyed or smooth shafts, and with multiple feedback options including resolver, incremental encoder, Hiperface, and Hiperface DSL.
A streamlined selection within Lafert’s complete brushless servo motors range, offering high dynamic performance with standardized configurations and reduced delivery time.
Low rotor inertia enables strong dynamic behaviour, supporting high acceleration, stable control, and repeatable positioning, even in applications operating at elevated speeds.

Brushless Servo Motors are used in applications where reliable motion control, dynamic performance, and precise positioning are required across a wide range of industrial machinery.
The standardized configurations make them suitable for diverse applications while supporting fast deployment and consistent performance.
Low rotor inertia improves acceleration and deceleration capability while maintaining control stability. This results in faster cycle times, reduced settling time, and precise positioning, especially in applications requiring frequent speed changes or dynamic motion profiles.
Torque selection should consider peak torque during acceleration, continuous torque, duty cycle, and load inertia. The wide torque range from 0.5 Nm to 42 Nm allows engineers to select a motor that meets application demands without oversizing, supporting efficiency and long-term reliability.
Feedback selection directly affects positioning accuracy, control stability, and system integration. Resolvers are often preferred for robustness in harsh environments, while digital encoders such as Hiperface and Hiperface DSL support higher resolution, advanced diagnostics, and simplified wiring when used with compatible drives.
Holding brakes are typically used in vertical axes or applications where the load must be safely held when power is removed. For horizontal axes or systems with external holding mechanisms, non-brake versions may be sufficient.
Applications with frequent acceleration, high peak torque, or continuous operation generate higher thermal loads. Evaluating the duty cycle ensures the selected motor operates within thermal limits, preventing overheating and ensuring stable performance over the motor’s service life.
The Preferred Servo Motors range consists of predefined servo motor configurations developed to cover the most common industrial motion requirements. It is a reduced and standardized subset of Lafert’s wider brushless servo motors range, designed to offer faster availability while maintaining the same core performance principles. By standardizing motor sizes, torque ranges, feedback options, and mechanical variants, the range enables faster selection and shorter delivery times while maintaining consistent motion performance.
The range combines low inertia design with multiple torque levels and flexible feedback options, allowing it to support applications with varying dynamic, speed, and positioning requirements. Although it represents a limited selection compared to the fully configurable Lafert servo portfolio, it covers the majority of standard industrial motion needs.
By limiting the range to predefined, high-demand configurations, manufacturing and logistics processes are optimized. This allows Preferred Servo Motors to be supplied with shorter lead times compared to fully customized variants, without compromising application compatibility or performance.
Engineers should balance dynamic performance, thermal behavior, feedback resolution, mechanical constraints, and delivery time. The Preferred range is designed to optimize this balance by offering proven configurations that meet most industrial requirements without unnecessary complexity.
