Product Description:

The MKE116B-024-PP0-KN synchronous motor is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the MKE Synchronous Motors series. This servo unit is intended for closed-loop positioning and speed control in automated machinery operating in hazardous zones. By combining permanent-magnet technology with design measures for ignition protection, the motor functions as the primary rotary actuator for gearboxes, ball screws, or conveyor shafts. It is intended for direct connection to driven machine elements, which helps transfer commanded motion accurately from the servo drive to the load.

The connection orientation is top, so power and feedback conductors are routed upward. A sealed terminal box on that side houses screw clamps, allowing armored conduit to enter without extra junction hardware. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so static load retention must be handled by the drive or by an external mechanical lock when the axis is stopped. The 024 winding code identifies the coil set used in this model and corresponds to electrical values matched to compatible drives. Torque is transferred through a shaft with a keyway, which provides a positive mechanical connection for couplings that see repeated acceleration and deceleration.

The output shaft uses a DIN 6885 keyway, which supports standard hub and coupling components. A radial shaft seal is fitted to reduce dust or vapor ingress toward the stator cavity when contaminants are present near the drive end. Because the motor is intended for potentially explosive areas, its external surfaces and joints are arranged to limit sparking risk and control surface temperature during normal operation. This layout keeps the motor suitable for use in hazardous-area installations that still require servo response and repeatable speed control. The sealed shaft area also helps protect internal parts during operation around dust-bearing or vapor-bearing equipment.
