Product Description:

The MKE096B-047-KG0-KN is an AC synchronous servo motor manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and placed within the MKE Synchronous Motors series. This unit translates drive-controller current into precise rotary motion for positioning tasks in automated lines, conveyors, and material-handling stations located in hazardous production zones. Its construction follows guidelines for explosive areas so the motor can be integrated where flammable gases or dust may be present and electrical ignition sources must be minimized.

Cable entry and encoder leads are routed through the top of the housing, a layout that keeps connectors clear of floor debris and allows shorter drip loops when the motor is mounted vertically. All conductors terminate in a cast-on terminal box, which provides a rigid compartment for strain relief and shield bonding. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so any gravity-loaded axis must rely on the drive’s static torque or an external mechanical lock for secure standstill. Torque is delivered through a plain shaft, eliminating keyways to reduce stress concentrations and simplify coupling sleeves that clamp directly onto the smooth surface. A shaft seal sits adjacent to the bearing, which helps limit oil mist and moisture from reaching the stator air gap during washdown or humid operation.

As a servo motor for potentially explosive areas, the frame materials and surface temperatures are selected to avoid sparking, allowing safe operation in classified enclosures when paired with certified drives. Accurate centering during assembly is supported by a frontal centering hole, which allows a puller or alignment pin to square the rotor to gear reducers without damaging the journal. Threading at the shaft end follows the DIN 332-compliant DS thread, enabling consistent attachment of locking screws or extraction tools used in European machine designs. The motor’s electromagnetic character is identified by its 047 winding, a code that sets coil resistance and inductance so the connected inverter can calculate current limits and thermal models for this variant.
