Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactures the MKE037B-144-GP0-BENN, a member of the MKE Synchronous Motors series. Classified as a servo motor for potentially explosive areas, it delivers position-controlled torque for conveyors, mixers, and dosing skids installed in chemical or paint lines where gas or vapor can be present. The motor integrates with IndraDrive controllers to provide high-resolution feedback, allowing automated equipment to maintain repeatable throughput while conforming to explosion-protection directives. This layout supports precise motion in processes that require stable speed, repeatable positioning, and controlled torque response during changing load conditions.

Rated for ambient conditions from 0...+40 °C, the MKE037B unit can operate continuously without forced cooling when mounted in a sealed cabinet. Power and feedback connections exit on the B-side, which simplifies cable routing in multi-axis frames and helps keep access clear around adjacent components. A cast aluminum terminal box encloses the screw terminals and provides a practical point for adjusting conduit direction if the machine layout changes. The motor uses insulation class 155 (F), which allows elevated winding temperatures during short duty peaks while protecting the varnish system. The housing has an ingress protection rating of IP 65, which helps keep dust and low-pressure water jets away from the stator and feedback components.

Compliance with ATEX mechanical and electrical guidelines helps keep surface temperatures below ignition limits, including during stalled-rotor events. Mechanical power is delivered through a shaft with keyway, and the drive side uses a matching DIN 6885 keyway to secure hubs or gears against rotational slip. The stator uses winding code 144, giving electrical characteristics suited to low-voltage, high-current drives where fast torque rise is required. A shaft seal is fitted at the output flange to help prevent lubricant escape toward the process zone. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so any static load must be secured by the drive or by an external clamp.
