Product Description:

The MKE035B-144-GP0-KN is a servo motor designed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for use within the MKE Synchronous Motors series. Classified as a servo motor for potentially explosive areas, it supplies closed-loop torque and speed control to actuators located in hazardous zones of process plants or paint lines. By coupling directly to gear reducers or lead screws, it converts electrical commands from a drive controller into mechanical rotation, allowing coordinated motion in automated production equipment where ignition-safe components are required. This arrangement supports precise positioning and stable speed regulation in systems that operate near paint vapors, solvents, or other ignition-sensitive media.

Electrical power and feedback conductors enter the motor through a terminal box, which simplifies gland installation on enclosed hazardous-area equipment. All connectors are oriented on the top of the stator, so cable routing can remain clear of washdown surfaces and floor obstructions. Winding code 144 indicates the copper slot fill, resistance, and inductance used for low-inertia operation in this frame size. This model is supplied without a holding brake, so applications that need static load retention must rely on an external mechanical lock or drive torque. For shaft-coupling flexibility, the motor uses a shaft with keyway, allowing keyed hubs to transfer torque without slip.

The key seat follows the DIN 6885 keyway standard, so couplings made for metric drives can be installed without extra machining. A shaft seal is fitted at the output end to block dust, moisture, and paint mist from reaching the bearing grease during long duty cycles. The seal also helps protect the bearing area during cleaning cycles and exposure to airborne contaminants common in finishing systems. The motor is intended for Category 2 hazardous locations, where controlled surface temperatures and clearances support ignition-safe operation.
