Description
The Mitsubishi HG303 is a legacy designation in the HG series AC servo motor family, found in some older Mitsubishi CNC systems (mainly early MDS-E generation machines).
š§ HG303 Servo Motor Overview
- Series: Mitsubishi HG AC servo motor family
- Type: High-power CNC feed-axis servo motor (legacy naming)
- Power class: ~3.0 kW class (approx.)
- Use case: Heavy-duty CNC axis control in older machine tools
āļø Key Characteristics (typical HG303 class)
HG303 is not part of the commonly used modern naming (HG354, HG224, etc.), but generally corresponds to:
- Large frame AC servo motor
- High torque output for heavy cutting loads
- 200V AC servo system
- High-resolution encoder feedback for CNC closed-loop control
- Designed for rigidity and stable machining under load
š Typical Applications
- Older CNC machining centers
- Heavy milling machines
- Large feed axes (X/Y/Z)
- Turning centers with high cutting forces
- Legacy Mitsubishi CNC systems using early MDS-E drives
š Position in HG family
HG303 sits in the upper legacy torque class:
- Close to modern HG354 (3.5 kW class)
- Stronger than HG224 / HG204 / HG154 motors
- Used in machines requiring high cutting force and high inertia handling
š In practice:
- HG303 is often replaced by HG354 or equivalent modern high-torque HG motor, depending on machine tuning and mounting
š Simple Meaning
HG303 =
Legacy Mitsubishi HG-series ~3.0 kW AC servo motor used in older CNC systems for heavy-duty feed-axis control.
