Product Description:

The MSK040B-0600-NN-S3-UG1-NNNN servo motor is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the MSK IndraDyn S Synchronous Motors series. The unit functions as a compact torque- and speed-controlled actuator for positioning axes and conveyor stations in industrial automation. It is suitable for feed axes, transfer modules, and short-stroke positioning units that need smooth acceleration, stable low-speed control, and repeatable stopping behavior. Its compact frame helps it fit tightly packed machine sections where multiple axes share limited mounting space. This makes it a practical choice for compact automation cells where both dynamic response and holding capability are needed in one motor package.

Thermal management relies on natural convection, so airflow around the housing must remain unobstructed during operation. The motor follows a standard mechanical design that fits MSK flanges and couplings without custom adapters, which helps it integrate into established machine layouts. Connections use a 240° rotatable connector, which helps route cables in confined mounting spaces and reduces strain at the motor entry point. Internally, a Hiperface serial interface carries position data from a capacitive sensor system that is less affected by magnetic fields than conventional magnetic feedback devices. The encoder provides 16 signal periods per revolution, and its single-turn format supplies absolute position information within one mechanical turn, allowing the connected drive to recognize rotor position immediately after power-up.

A built-in holding brake provides 4 Nm of torque when voltage is removed, which helps prevent axis drift on suspended or vertical loads. Torque is transmitted through a plain shaft that works with backlash-free clamp couplings in compact drive trains. The motor uses winding code 0600, which indicates the electrical characteristics expected by a matching IndraDrive controller and supports proper current control by the drive. The size 040 housing with length code B gives the motor a narrow profile for multi-axis gantries and other installations where adjacent axes have limited space. That compact format also helps preserve clearance between neighboring motors, cable exits, and coupling hardware on dense machine frames.
