Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are functionally equivalent or direct replacements for the KUKA GA16 00-189-401 in specific robot configurations:
- KUKA GA14 (00-183-637) — Lower torque variant; compatible in KR 150–210 axis configurations with minor parameter adjustment
- KUKA ZH 360-4 (00-226-914) — Heavy-payload variant used in KR360 and KR500 platforms; same connector interface
- KUKA KR360 Drive Motor — OEM equivalent for KR360 robot arm axis drives
- Third-party servo motors with matching frame size, encoder protocol (EnDat/Hiperface), and rated torque may serve as interim replacements — consult our team for compatibility verification
Why Choose the Original Model
- Factory-calibrated encoder alignment ensures zero re-mastering effort after swap
- Full compatibility with KUKA KRC2 / KRC4 / KRC5 controller firmware without parameter modification
- OEM warranty and traceability documentation available upon request
- Reduced risk of axis fault codes (e.g., KSS 00-189 series errors) caused by non-OEM motor mismatch
Typical Applications
- KUKA KR360 / KR500 heavy-payload robot axis replacement
- Automotive body-in-white welding and press-tending lines
- Foundry and die-casting robot refurbishment
- Palletizing and material handling systems requiring high-torque axis drives
- Preventive maintenance stock for production-critical robot cells
System Compatibility
- Controllers: KUKA KRC2 (ed05/ed2005), KRC4, KRC4 compact, KRC4 smallsize, KRC5
- Robot Series: KR QUANTEC, KR FORTEC, KR IONTEC (verify axis assignment)
- Encoder Interface: EnDat 2.1 / Hiperface (confirm before ordering)
- Connector Type: M23 / M17 hybrid power+signal (verify robot generation)
Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct motor for your robot and axis:
- GA14 (00-183-637): KR 150–210, Axes A1–A3, Medium payload — choose when torque requirement is ≤ GA14 rated output
- GA16 (00-189-401): KR 240–360, Axes A1–A3, High payload — standard replacement for KR360 primary axes
- ZH 360-4 (00-226-914): KR 360–500, Axes A1–A2, Extra-heavy payload — use for maximum torque applications

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can GA14 (00-183-637) directly replace GA16 (00-189-401)?
A: In most KR 240 configurations, yes — with controller parameter adjustment. For KR360, GA16 is the correct OEM spec. Contact us to confirm.
Q: Is the ZH 360-4 (00-226-914) a drop-in replacement for GA16?
A: The ZH 360-4 is a higher-torque variant. Mechanical mounting is compatible, but controller torque limits must be reconfigured. Recommended only for KR360/KR500 heavy-duty upgrades.
Q: Do you provide mastering data or encoder calibration files?
A: Yes — OEM-new units include factory mastering data. Refurbished units include a re-calibration report. Contact us for details.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. Out-of-stock items: 2–6 weeks depending on sourcing channel.
Q: Do you accept returns?
A: Yes — unused units in original condition accepted within 30 days. Refurbished units covered by 90-day warranty.
