Product Description:

The MKE116D-027-PP0-KN belongs to the MKE Synchronous Motors series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is an AC servo motor intended for positioning and speed-controlled duties in automated machinery that may be installed in hazardous zones. By delivering closed-loop torque in these environments, the unit assists drives and controllers in moving conveyors, rotary indexers, or lifting axes where precise motion and compliance with explosion protection requirements are important. Its synchronous design supports stable motion during repeated starts, stops, and load changes, which is useful for coordinated axis movement.

The electrical winding variant is coded 027, which corresponds to electrical characteristics used by compatible IndraDrive amplifiers. This model is supplied without a holding brake, so vertical applications must use external braking or drive-applied torque to hold a load when power is removed. Power and feedback conductors exit upward through a top-mounted connection direction, which helps when cable routing is arranged above the machine frame. A cast-on terminal box houses the terminals and provides rigid screw connections that tolerate vibration. Its classification as a servo motor for potentially explosive areas indicates suitability for equipment installed in designated hazardous locations.

The drive end features a shaft with keyway, allowing positive torque transmission into pulleys or rigid couplings. The key seat follows DIN 6885 keyway geometry, so standard keys can be used without additional machining. A shaft seal is fitted to block lubricant migration and help keep dust or process fluid away from the front bearing. The sealed drive end also helps preserve grease retention at the bearing interface during continuous cycling. This arrangement is useful where the motor is connected to driven components that see vibration, dust, or incidental process contamination.
