Product Description:

The MSK040C-0600-NN-M1-UG0-NNNN is a synchronous servo motor developed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the MSK IndraDyn S Synchronous Motors series. It is installed on positioning axes, cam tables, and light handling modules where controlled torque and speed are required for reliable and repeatable machine sequencing. Integrated encoder feedback allows paired drive controllers to close the motion loop while keeping the overall package compact. This arrangement suits short-cycle automation tasks that need accurate motion in a small motor package.

Heat is removed through natural convection, so the housing surface alone manages thermal rise during continuous duty and no external fan hardware is required. The motor uses a plain shaft, which provides a smooth cylindrical output for clamp or friction couplings without a keyway. Feedback is transmitted through the Hiperface protocol, letting the drive exchange digital position and identification data over two differential channels. Internal resolution is set to 128 signal periods, allowing the controller to interpolate motion commands precisely during fine positioning. The motor is delivered without a holding brake, so any static load must be held by the machine mechanics or by controlled drive torque.

The encoder uses multiturn absolute functionality, maintaining an accurate revolution count even when power is removed and eliminating reference runs at startup after a shutdown. Position sensing uses an optical scanning head, which offers stable operation and strong immunity to magnetic stray fields. The signal and power plug can be rotated through 240°, making cable routing easier inside compact machine frames or crowded enclosures. The motor has motor size 040 with a medium C stator length, a combination that balances low rotor inertia with the continuous torque needed for compact pick-and-place axes. This layout also helps reduce the space claim on moving carriages and other light axis assemblies.
