Product Description:

The MKE116B-058-NP0-KN belongs to the MKE Synchronous Motors series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is a servo motor certified for use in potentially explosive areas, so it can drive positioning axes inside paint booths, chemical mixers, or other hazardous zones where ignition sources must be tightly controlled. By converting electrical control commands into precisely metered torque and speed, the unit links motion sequences in these environments directly to higher-level automation controllers. It can therefore be used in automated equipment where the surrounding atmosphere requires controlled electrical and mechanical behavior from the drive system.

Cabling enters the housing from the top, and the power and feedback conductors terminate inside a sealed terminal box, which simplifies armored conduit routing in classified areas. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so applications that need static torque after power loss must rely on mechanical clamping devices or drive torque. Mechanical coupling is handled through a shaft with keyway, and the keyseat follows the DIN 6885 keyway profile, which supports direct fit with standard couplings and consistent shaft alignment. This arrangement suits installations that need protected cable entry and a standard keyed shaft connection.

For environmental protection, a shaft seal is fitted to help prevent vapor ingress toward the bearing package when the machine operates in solvent-laden atmospheres. The 058 winding sets the motor’s thermal behavior and electrical impedance, so the selected drive must match that code for stable current control. The motor is classified as a servo motor for potentially explosive areas, so the system should use suitable cable entry hardware, temperature monitoring, and ATEX-rated connectors for the installation. This type of setup supports operation in hazardous locations where controlled heat and protected electrical connections are required.
