Product Description

Rexroth has created the innovative and reliable IndraDrive Mi system. These drive systems have components like the KCU electronic control systems, distributed KSM motors, and RKH hybrid cables among others. This article will concentrate mainly on the important information related to the KSM motors. Rexroth offers different sizes of KSM motors. Customers can get KSM motors with sizes such as 076, 071, 061, and 041. These motors have ring-sealed shafts and optional holding brakes. The shafts can be either plain or with keyways. All KSM motors feature integrated Motion Logic, protection rating IP65, and a single-turn or a multi-turn optical absolute encoder.

All KSM motors are constructed for flange assembly and have casings which act as a heat sink. The functioning of these motors is adversely affected by excessive dust, dirt, or shavings. In extreme cases, they can even cause the motors to fail. To avoid cases of the motors failing, their cooling ribs need to be cleaned on a regular basis probably at least once per year. The KSM motors can operate in a maintenance-free way within their specified operating conditions as well as service life. If the motors are operated under unfavorable conditions, maintenance may be necessary.

Rexroth’s KSM01.2B-061C-35N-M1-HP2-SE-NN-D7-NN-FW is a typical example of the KSM motors which are incorporated in the drive system of IndraDrive Mi. This line 01 and design 2 motor offers a basic performance. The KSM01.2B-061C-35N-M1-HP2-SE-NN-D7-NN-FW motor features a multi-turn absolute Hiperface optical encoder, DC 24 V electrically-released holding break, natural convection cooling system, hybrid connectors, shaft with keyway, and SERCOS II master communication. The KSM01.2B-061C-35N-M1-HP2-SE-NN-D7-NN-FW can be shipped globally with a one-year warranty period from Wake Industrial.
