The MAC1004: A New Standard for 1 kW Integrated Servo Motors
PRESS release: March 2025
Birkerød, Denmark - JVL A/S, a global leader in integrated motion control, proudly introduces the MAC1004, a 1000W integrated servo motor engineered to redefine efficiency and flexibility in industrial automation. As the heart of any machine, the servo motor drives performance—and the MAC1004 sets a new standard with advanced features, compact power, and cost savings tailored for today’s automation demands.
Advanced Features, Compact Design
The MAC1004 builds on JVL’s pioneering legacy with enhancements that elevate 1 kW servo performance:
- Extremely Compact 1 kW Servo Motor: Delivering 1000W of continuous power (peak up to 3000W) in a remarkably small package, the MAC1004 maximizes performance without sacrificing space.
- 24/7 100% Duty Cycle Operation: Designed for relentless, round-the-clock use, this motor ensures uninterrupted reliability in demanding applications like high-speed packaging or warehouse systems.
- Flexible Protocol Options: Supports EtherNet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT and other industrial Ethernet standards, with daisy-chain communications for easy connectivity.
- Faster Processor: A high-speed processor enables precise, rapid control, ideal for high-throughput environments.
- State-of- the-art Absolute Multi-Turn Encoder: This battery-free, self-powered encoder tracks position across power cycles with zero maintenance, ensuring consistent robust accuracy.
More for Less: Shared Cost Savings
JVL is committed to value. The MAC1004 packs more features and power into its compact frame at a reduced initial cost, thanks to optimized design and production efficiencies—savings passed directly to customers. Higher energy efficiency also lowers operational costs, making it a practical choice for both new installations and upgrades.
Ditch the Cabinet, Add Motors Anywhere
For those new to integrated servo motors, the MAC1004 eliminates the need for bulky control cabinets by embedding the drive and controller within the motor. Existing systems benefit from fewer or smaller cabinets, freeing up space and cutting cooling needs. With extremely low commissioning time—just connect power and communication—you can add a motor anywhere, from conveyors to robotics, with minimal setup effort.
Seamless PLC Integration
The MAC1004 integrates effortlessly with leading PLCs, including Siemens and Allen-Bradley systems. As a Rockwell Automation Technology Partner, JVL ensures compatibility with Rockwell platforms, but the motor’s open protocol support means it works with any PLC you choose. This flexibility empowers engineers to design systems their way, without being locked to specific PLC vendors.
Setting the Standard
"The MAC1004 represents a leap forward for 1 kW servo motors.
It’s compact, powerful, and built for nonstop operation—offering automation professionals a reliable, efficient solution that simplifies systems and reduces costs.”
- Mads Vernon Jorgensen, CEO at JVL A/S
