Product Description:

The MKE116B-024-NP0-KN is a servo motor for potentially explosive areas from Bosch Rexroth Indramat's MKE Synchronous Motors series. In automated plants, it converts drive commands into controlled rotary motion for actuators, mixers, and hoists located in hazardous zones. Its servo design supports controlled acceleration, steady speed regulation, and repeatable positioning in process equipment that cannot use a standard industrial motor. This makes it suitable for applications that need accurate motion while also meeting hazardous-area motor requirements. Standard housing and feedback dimensions support installation on machine layouts that use the same mounting pattern and control interface.

It is configured for compatible drive packages and features a top cable entry, so power and feedback conduits can be routed upward along the machine frame and away from spill zones. This layout can also keep cable bends more gradual near the motor entry point. The stator uses a 024 winding, giving electrical values that match converters in the 400 V class for medium-torque cycles. Inside the cast housing, a terminal box provides segregated screw-clamp connections for power and feedback wiring. Because the motor is supplied without a holding brake, holding force must come from mechanical locks or drive torque when power is removed. The lack of a brake also reduces rotor inertia, which helps start-stop response in indexing duties.

Mechanical coupling is handled through a shaft with keyway, and the key follows the DIN 6885 keyway profile, which matches standard industrial couplings. An integral shaft seal helps protect internal bearings from vapors and fine particles that may circulate in enclosed hazardous-area installations. The keyed output supports secure torque transmission to pulleys, couplings, or gear inputs during repeated starts and stops. Its shaft geometry follows common industrial practice, which helps it mate with standard transmission components. The sealed shaft exit also supports cleaner operation around the bearing cavity during continuous-duty service.
