Product Description:

The 1MR160B-A060 rotor is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the 1MB High-Speed Asynchronous Motors series. Designed as the rotating element of a frameless spindle motor kit, this component couples directly to a machine shaft and supports high-speed machining spindles in industrial automation centers. By providing the magnetic core that interacts with the stator’s electromagnetic field, it converts drive current into mechanical torque for precision milling, drilling, and grinding operations. Because it is supplied as a rotor rather than a complete housed motor, it is intended for installation inside a spindle assembly that provides the surrounding mechanical support. This layout lets the spindle builder choose the bearing system, housing, and sealing arrangement around the active rotor body.

This B-length rotor follows the series 160 frame geometry and features a bore diameter of 60.0 mm, allowing it to slide onto a matching shaft with a step interference fit for secure transmission of high circumferential forces. The frame code 160 identifies the outside diameter envelope used with compatible stators. Its mechanical speed ceiling of 20,000 rpm supports the fast tool rotation needed for aluminum and composite cutting, while the open construction rating of IP00 means the surrounding spindle housing must provide protection from dust and fluids. Dynamic response is influenced by a rotor inertia of 0.0084 kg·m², which helps the spindle accelerate quickly while maintaining stable running characteristics. The open-kit format also allows the rotor and stator to be integrated into compact spindle packages where space is limited and direct-drive behavior is required.

The rotor mass is 4.3 kg, which helps limit bearing preload requirements and reduces centrifugal stress at full speed. Continuous operation is permitted up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C, and installation heights can reach 1,000 m without derating in typical factory locations. During storage, the unit tolerates relative humidity up to 95 % RH, and separate transport and storage limits also apply to temperature and moisture exposure before installation. Those handling conditions should be observed to protect the laminated core and the shaft fit surfaces while the rotor is off the machine.
