ABB 3HAC3697-1 Motor with Pinion – Obsolete IRB4400 / IRB2400 / IRB1410 Spare Part

The ABB 3HAC3697-1 (also referenced as 3HAC5954-1, 3HAC17346-1, 3HAC021740-001, 3HAC17326-1, 3HAC021346-001 depending on robot variant and revision) is a discontinued axis motor with pinion that ABB no longer manufactures or supplies through standard channels. DriveKNMS maintains RFQ-reviewed sourcing status of this component for facilities that cannot afford to wait.

RFQ support for obsolete parts: Send the model number, required quantity and destination so DriveKNMS can confirm sourcing options before quotation.

Technical Specifications

Note: Electrical parameters (voltage rating, encoder resolution, torque specifications) vary by robot axis and revision. Confirmed specifications are provided upon order inquiry to ensure compatibility with your specific robot serial number and axis configuration. No parameters are published here that cannot be verified against ABB documentation.

Solving the Discontinued Hardware Crisis

Q: How are RFQ terms confirmed?
A: Quantity, required condition, documentation needs, destination and sourcing route are confirmed during RFQ review before quotation.

The 3HAC3697-1 motor with pinion is one of the highest-failure-risk components in these robots. It is a mechanical and electrical wear item subject to bearing fatigue, encoder degradation, and pinion gear wear over extended duty cycles. Its failure is not a question of if — it is a question of when. Facilities that have not secured at least one verified spare are operating with unquantified financial exposure on every production shift.

DriveKNMS sources these components through established industrial surplus and decommissioning channels. Each unit is physically inspected before listing. We do not list parts we cannot ship.

Condition & Reliability Assurance

Sourcing discontinued industrial components carries inherent risk. Our QA process is designed to eliminate the most common failure modes found in aged or improperly stored servo motors:

Key Features for System Maintenance

• Drop-in replacement: The 3HAC3697-1 is a direct mechanical and electrical replacement for the original factory-installed motor on compatible IRB robot axes. No mechanical modification to the robot arm is required.
• No reprogramming required: Motor replacement on these ABB platforms does not require controller reprogramming. Standard ABB calibration procedures (fine calibration via FlexPendant) are sufficient to restore full axis accuracy after installation.
• Avoids engineering reconstruction costs: Replacing a servo motor on an existing robot costs a fraction of the engineering hours required to integrate a new robot platform — no new safety fencing design, no PLC I/O remapping, no updated risk assessment, no revalidation of the production cell.
• Preserves existing process qualifications: In regulated industries (automotive, food processing, pharmaceuticals), replacing a robot motor on a validated line is a controlled change. Replacing the entire robot platform triggers a full revalidation. The cost difference is substantial.

Can you help me identify the correct part number for my specific robot?
Yes. Provide your robot's serial number and the axis in question, and we will cross-reference against ABB's revision history to confirm the correct motor variant before you order.
