Product Description:

The MKE037B-144-KG0-BENN is a servo motor manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MKE Synchronous Motors series. Designed for potentially explosive areas, it converts regulated drive power into controlled torque used in zone-rated pumps, agitators, and positioning axes. By pairing explosion-proof construction with synchronous technology, the unit supplies constant speed accuracy for automation equipment deployed in chemical or process plants.

The motor housing complies with the ATEX directive and carries an IP 65 ingress rating, so dust or low-pressure water jets cannot enter critical components during wash-down or material handling. Thermal performance is supported by an insulation system classified as 155 (F), allowing the stator windings to reach elevated temperatures without loss of dielectric strength. Operation is permitted between 0…+40 °C, ensuring full torque delivery in typical indoor plant climates. Power and feedback conductors terminate in a Terminal box, a layout that simplifies flame-proof gland installation and shields the connections from impact. These attributes align the motor with drives that must maintain service continuity while preventing ignition sources in hazardous production cells.

Cabling exits on the B-side, giving machine builders freedom to orient conduits away from heat zones or moving parts without altering the sealing plane established by the shaft seal. A Plain shaft with a DIN 332 compliant 'DS' thread and a frontal centering hole eases coupling to gearboxes or clamping hubs, all while preserving dynamic balancing. The presence of a shaft seal limits vapor migration along the journal, and the unit is supplied without a holding brake so external locking devices must secure vertical axes at standstill. Finally, stator winding code 144 matches the electrical parameters expected by Bosch Rexroth drive controllers, closing the loop on compatibility established by the environmental and thermal features outlined above.
