The MKE Synchronous Motors from Bosch Rexroth Indramat comprise permanent-magnet synchronous servo motors with electronic commutation, engineered to build drive systems for hazardous-area machinery while meeting both ATEX and UL/CSA requirements in one motor platform.
They are intended for use as rotary main and servo drive motors in industrial equipment such as machine tools, printing/paper, packaging/food, and metal-forming machines, with the motor behavior defined by the programmed drive controller. The series is designed for reliability with a brushless, maintenance-free construction (lifetime grease-lubricated bearings), a fully closed IP65 enclosure, and overload protection using motor-temperature monitoring. Performance is targeted at high-dynamics motion, leveraging low inertia magnet design, strong heat dissipation from the stator to the housing, and the ability to use peak torque over a wide speed range, including frequent start/stop duty. For integration and options, MKE motors use a DIN 42948 flange with flexible mounting orientation, offer housing/connection variants for European (“E”) and American (“U”) standards, and support optional features like singleturn or multiturn absolute encoder interfaces and an optional 24 VDC electrically released holding brake.
