Description
In Mitsubishi CNC systems (especially MDS-E / MDS-EM / MDS-EJ / SPV3 platforms), HG142 is typically interpreted as:
A medium-power HG-series AC servo motor, likely in the ~1.0–1.5 kW class range, depending on machine configuration.
⚙️ Practical interpretation (field service view)
HG142 is generally treated as:
- HG-series brushless AC servo motor
- Feed-axis motor for CNC machines
- Medium torque / general-purpose axis drive
- Used for X/Y/Z or auxiliary axes in CNC machines
- OEM-coded variant of standard HG motor families
🏭 Typical applications
- CNC machining centers (feed axes)
- Milling machines
- Turning centers
- Medium-load positioning axes
- Older Mitsubishi CNC systems
📊 Position in HG family (approximation)
HG142 usually falls between:
- HG104 / HG105 (~1.0 kW class)
- HG154 (~1.5 kW class)
👉 So in practice:
- It is often closest to HG154-class performance, but exact mapping depends on the machine builder.
📌 Why HG142 is not standard
Mitsubishi official HG naming uses power-based numbering:
- HG54 → 0.5 kW
- HG75 → 0.75 kW
- HG104 / HG105 → ~1.0 kW
- HG154 → 1.5 kW
- HG204 / HG224 → 2.0–2.2 kW
- HG354 → 3.5 kW
👉 “142” does not match this structure, so it is likely:
- OEM internal code
- Machine-specific motor variant label
- Or configuration/encoder/winding identifier
📌 Simple Meaning
HG142 =
OEM/legacy designation for a medium-power Mitsubishi HG-series servo motor, typically around the HG104–HG154 class, used for CNC feed-axis control.
