Product Description:

The MKE116B-024-PG1-KN is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the MKE Synchronous Motors series. It is a servo unit engineered for industrial automation installations that can be classified as hazardous, where electrical equipment must be capable of operating without igniting surrounding gas or dust. Within a motion axis, it supplies closed-loop torque and velocity so that actuators, conveyor spindles, or packaging tools maintain repeatable positioning under variable process loads.

The power and feedback conductors exit upward because the connection orientation is top, and all terminations are housed inside a sealed terminal box that simplifies hard wiring inside pressurized enclosures. Stator coils use winding code 024, which indicates the rated voltage constant expected by the companion drive controller when calculating current setpoints. Classified as a servo motor for potentially explosive areas, the device is certified so surface temperatures stay below specified ignition limits during continuous duty. A plain shaft transfers torque directly into gearheads or belt pulleys without keyways, reducing stress concentrations and allowing the user to select custom hub clamping elements.

An electromechanical brake is integrated, and the motor is supplied with a holding brake so vertical axes can remain stationary after power is removed. The front of the rotor includes a frontal centering hole that helps align precision couplings during assembly. To limit lubricant escape and particle ingress, there is a shaft seal positioned behind the bearing journal. For applications that need threaded retainer plates or pullers, the shaft nose carries a DIN 332-compliant "DS" thread. This arrangement supports use in press machines, mixers, or filling stations located in chemical or pharmaceutical production areas.
