Product Description:

The MTC506C1-R1A1-013 is a brushless permanent-magnet servo motor produced by Kollmorgen as part of the MTC Servo Motors series. It is intended for automated packaging, material-handling, and indexing equipment where repeatable rotary motion is required. Operating with a matched digital drive, the unit converts phase current into controlled torque and speed so that axes can start, stop, and hold position with consistent response from cycle to cycle. This motor type is also suitable for transfer axes and positioning stations that need accurate motion over repeated production cycles. An integrated brake holds the shaft when power is removed, and standardized mounting dimensions help the motor fit established machine layouts without custom adapter work.

Internally, the motor employs an electrically released spring-applied brake that grips the shaft whenever control voltage is lost. Releasing force is supplied by a dedicated 24 VDC coil, matching the low-voltage safety circuits commonly used in motion systems. The rotor uses an 8-pole arrangement, which supports fine electrical commutation and strong torque production at lower mechanical speeds. Environmental sealing meets IP65, helping keep airborne dust and directed water spray out of the stator cavity. A machined aluminum faceplate keeps mass low and promotes thermal conduction to the attached machine frame. These features support stable operation in enclosed machinery where accurate stopping and reliable holding are important.

Overall size also affects how the motor is fitted into a machine. Its overall length is 300.5 mm, which is used to check enclosure clearance and coupling alignment. The optional mounting plate provides 300 in² of contact area, distributing load forces across support surfaces and improving heat transfer during continuous duty. With a plate thickness of 3/4 in, the assembly resists bending that could disturb shaft alignment or feedback accuracy during repeated motion reversals. These dimensions are useful when the motor must be placed near adjacent components while still maintaining a firm connection to the machine structure.
