In the second section, the two positions (♦ ♦) indicate the physical length your motor. For the Fanuc Alpha Series Servo Motor, there are many different servo motor lengths; however, there are nine motor lengths we will focus on, which are listed below.

In the third section, the second position (■) refers to your motors shaft brake options. There are four different brake options for this servo motor model: 0, 1, 5, or 6. The different brake options and meanings are listed below.

0: Straight Shaft (Standard)
1: Straight Shaft with Brake (35 Nm)

    The last two positions, together, in the third section (♣ ♣) tell your servo motors feedback options. For this servo motor, there are four different feedback options: 75, 77, 84, or 88.

    77: With the Pulse Coder α I64
    84: With the Serial Pulse Coder α A
    88: With the Serial Pulse Coder α A1000

    At the end of the model number, you may see a # symbol followed by a number; this addition to the model number tells if the motor is sealed or unsealed and if the motor has a keyway in the shaft or not. If there is not a # symbol followed by a number after the model number, by default, #0000 or #7000 will be attached to the model number. The different options are listed below.

    #7000 Unsealed motor without a keyway in the shaft
    #0000 Unsealed motor without a keyway in the shaft
    #7008 Unsealed Motor with a keyway in the shaft
