2.4 Product- and technology-dependent safety instructions

2.4.1 Protection against explosion hazard
Product use only in hazardous areas according to the specified labeling on the
product
This product is only allowed to be used in an area of use which is specified on
the type plate according to the explosion protection standards. In the case of
several Ex designations labelled on the type plate, like gas and dust protection,
please observe that during operation only one hazardous atmosphere occurs -
no combination of several.
Do any maintenance in non-hazard atmosphere.
Observe the conditions on use

Observe the notes in the application conditions and do not exceed the speci-
fied limit values.
Observe residual risks

Specified residual risks and special using conditions must be evaluated by the
plant manufacturer and operator according to the product application. This
makes own measures necessary to prevent risks.
2.4.2 Protection from electric voltage

Work required on the electric system may only be carried out by skilled electri-
cians. Tools for electricians (VDE tools) are absolutely necessary.
Before working:
● Enable.
● Secure against reactivation.
● Ensure de-energization.
● Ground and short-circuit.
● Cover or shield any adjacent live parts.
After completing the job, cancel the measures in reverse order.
Dangerous voltage occurs during operation! Danger to life, risk of injury by
electric shock!
● Before start-up, connect the protective conductors on all electric compo-
nents according to the connection plan.
● Operation, even for short measuring purposes is only allowed with fixed
connected protective conductor on the specified points of the components.

2.4.3 Protection from mechanical danger

Dangerous movements! Danger to life, risk of injury, heavy injury or material
damage.
● Do not stay within the motion zone of the machine. Avoid unauthorized
access into the danger zone.
● Additionally secure vertical axes to prevent them from sinking or descending
after having shutdown the motor, for instance as follows:
– Mechanically lock the vertical axis,
– providing an external braking / catching / clamping device, or
– ensure sufficient weight compensation of the axes.
Safety instructions
Only using the serially delivered motor holding brake or an external holding
brake activated by the drive controller is not suitable for personal protec-
tion!
Rotating parts! Danger to life, risk of injury, heavy injury or material damage.
● Secure key and/or transmission elements against ejection.
● Install covers on dangerous rotating machine parts before start-up.
2.4.4 Protection against magnetic and electromagnetic fields

Health hazard for persons with active body aids or passive metallic implants
and for pregnant women.
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields are created in the direct environment of
live conductors or permanent magnets of electro motors and are a serious
danger for persons.
Observe the country-specific regulations. For Germany, please observe the
specifications of the occupational insurance association BGV B11 and BGR B11
regarding “electromagnetic fields”.
● For persons with active body aids (like heart pacemakers), passive metallic
implants (like hip prosthesis) and pregnant women possible hazards exist
due to electro magnetic or magnetic fields in direct environment of electric
drive and control components and the corresponding live conductors.
Access into these areas can be dangerous for these persons:
– Areas, in which components of electrical drive and control systems and
corresponding live conductors are mounted, activated or operated.
– Areas in which motor parts with permanent magnets are stored, repaired
or assembled.
● Above mentioned persons must contact their attending physician before
entering these areas.
● Please observe the valid industrial safety regulations for plants which are
fitted with components of electrical drive and control systems and corre-
sponding live conductors.
Crushing hazard of fingers and hands due to strong attractive forces of the
magnets!
● Handle only with protective gloves.
Risk of destruction of sensitive parts! Data loss!

● Keep watches, credit cards, check cards and identity cards and all ferromag-
netic metal parts, such as iron, nickel and cobalt away from permanent
magnets.
2.4.5 Protection against ignitable electrostatic discharges

Danger of explosion due to electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic discharges may ignite gases, vapors and dust. Electrostatic

charges may be caused e.g. by the following processes:
● electrostatic painting
● pneumatically conveyed dust or bulk material
● hydraulically conveyed or flowing liquids and droplets
● mechanically driven belts, brushes and films, etc.
Danger of explosion due to highly charge-generating processes
Highly charge-generating processes may cause bush discharges or propagating
bush discharges and lead to explosions. This must be prevented. This, in turn,
may lead to death, severe injury and damage to property.
Carry out cleaning work only with a moist cloth
Clean the motor with a moist cloth to avoid electrostatic charge. Rubbing
with non-conductive materials must be avoided to prevent electrostatic charges
resulting in ignition hazards.
2.4.6 Protection against burns

Risk of burns due to hot motor surfaces!
● Avoid contact with hot motor surfaces. Temperatures may rise over 60 °C.
● Allow the motors to cool down long enough before touching them.
● Temperature-sensitive components may not come into contact with the
motor surface. Ensure appropriate mounting distance of connection cables
and other components.
2.4.7 Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)

The motors contain parts which underlie an electrostatic danger. These compo-
nents, especially temperature sensors of the motor winding can be destroyed
by improper use.
Avoid, e.g. direct contact of open wires or contacts of the connection cable of
temperature sensors without being electrostatically discharged or grounded.
Do suitable ESD protective measures before you handle imperiled components
(e.g. ESD protective clothes, wristlets, conductive floor, grounded cabinets and
working surfaces).

3.2 Product description

The MKE037, -047, -098, -118 three-phase synchronous motors are used for
operation with drive systems. The motors are flameproof, non-ventilated, servo-
controlled permanent magnet special motors for use in hazardous areas with a
free internal volume of 300 cu. in. or less. The motors are controlled by a pulse
width modulated (PWM) variable frequency drive. The speed of the motor is
varied by changing the frequency of the power supplied. The drive frequency
and voltage are changed by fast pulse width modulation of a bus voltage. The
used current waveform is sinusoidal.
The motors are brushless designs with a resolver or optical encoder.

5.3 Thermal motor protection

The motor temperature is monitored by two systems that are operated inde-
pendently of each other. The mounted temperature sensor and the drive-
internal temperature model ensure the best protection of motors against
thermal overload.
MKE motors are protected against impermissible heating by a PTC drilling inte-
grated in the motor winding.
A series circuit of three PTC thermistors (one PTC resistor per string) is
installed in each motor. Triggering devices or control devices monitor the resist-
ance to a maximum value. Voltage disconnection occurs when only one PTC is
heated up to nominal tripping temperature (130 °C±5 °C) by the winding.

TREF -5K ≤550 Ω ≤2.5 V
TREF +5K ≤1330 Ω ≤2.5 V
TREF +15K ≤4,000 Ω ≤7.5 V pulsed
The resistance rises sharply in the range of the nominal response temperature.
This change can be made via an electronical evaluation within the drive con-
troller.
Safe disconnection of the load circuit must be ensured.
The threshold values for motor temperature monitoring are contained in the
encoder data memory and are read in and monitored automatically during
the operation with compatible Rexroth controllers. Threshold values for MKE
motors are:
● Motor-warning temperature (120 °C)
● Motor-disconnection temperature (130 °C)
The temperature signal is transmitted via the motor interface -X2 (T1, T2).
Monitoring for a maximum value of the resistance ensures that any cable
breakage that may occur is detected as a fault.
5.4 Cooling mode

5.4.1 Self-cooling (IC410)
In case of self-cooling motors, the heat dissipation is realized via natural con-
vection and radiation to the ambient air as well as by heat conduction to the
machine construction.
The specified nominal data is reached at ambient temperatures of 0 ... 40 °C.
Unhindered vertical convection has to be ensured by a sufficient distance of
100 mm to adjacent components. The allowed limit temperatures must be kept
in the case of deviating minimum distances.
Pollution of the surface of the motor reduces heat dissipation and can result
in thermal overload. The availability of the system can be increased by regular
checks and cleaning of the motors. Please ensure access to the motors for
maintenance purposes.
5.5 Encoder
Optical encoder Singleturn option A, B
The encoders allow an absolute, indirect position recording within one mechan-
ical rotation. The encoders replace additional separate incremental encoders
on the motor.
Remark
After a voltage drop or after the first POWER ON, the axis must always be
moved to its reference point first.
Exception: Applications where the maximum travel is within one mechanical
revolution of the motor.
Optical encoder Multiturn absolute option C, D

The encoders enable absolute, indirect position sensing within 4,096 mechan-
ical revolutions. The encoders replace a separate absolute value encoder at
the motor. The absolute axis position at this encoder variant is retained by the
battery buffering.

Remark
Keys are not included in the scope of delivery.
We recommend regular visual inspections on shaft sealing rings. Depending on
operating conditions, signs of wear may appear after 5,000 operating hours.
If necessary, replace the shaft sealing rings. Repairs must be carried out by
Rexroth Service.
5.7.2 Balancing
MKE motors are balanced with the “complete key”.
5.7.3 Attachment of drive elements

Observe the notes about mounting drive elements.
Explosion protection
When mounting drive elements, check their suitability and keep the explosion
protection directives during operation. Selecting of all mounting components
underlies the sole responsibility of the plant manufacturer or operator.
Explosion hazard and danger to life, or substantial prop-
WARNING erty damage!
The totality of a motor-machine combination must
comply with the specifications for explosion protection.
Please observe the notes within the product documenta-
tion of the used components when projecting and during
operation.
Gearboxes with approvals for use in hazardous areas for the attachment to MKE
motors are delivered by Rexroth neither separately nor mounted on motors.
The mounting of gearbox on MKE motors, including selection and certification
underlies the sole responsibility of the plant manufacturer or operator.
Ingressing fluid may damage the motor!
CAUTION
Fluids (e.g., cooling lubricants, gear oil, etc.) may not be
present at the output shaft.
When attaching gearboxes, only use gearboxes with a
closed (oil-tight) lubrication system. Gearbox oil should
not be in permanent contact with the shaft sealing ring
of the motors.
Overdetermined bearing
When installing drive elements, avoid overdetermined bearing as impermissibly
high bearing reactions can be generated due to unfavorable tolerance ratios.

Holding brake
Remark
If overdetermined arrangement of bearings cannot be avoided, please contact
Bosch Rexroth.
Couplings
The machine construction and the drive elements used must be carefully
adapted to the motor type so as to make sure that the load limits of the shaft
and the bearing are not exceeded.
Remark
When extremely stiff couplings are attached, the revolving radial force may

cause an impermissibly high load on the shaft and bearing.
Bevel gear pinion or helical drive pinion

Due to thermal expansion, the DE side of the drive shaft can be displaced by
up to 0.6 mm in relation to the motor housing. If helical drive pinions or bevel
gear pinions directly attached to the output shaft are used, this change in the
lengths will lead to
● a shift in the position of the axis, if the driving pinions are not axially fixed
on the machine side.
● a thermally dependent component of the axial force, if the driving pinions
are axially fixed on the machine side. This causes the risk of exceeding the
maximum permissible axial force or of the gear backlash increasing to an
impermissible degree.
● Damage of the NDE bearing by exceeding the maximum permissible axial
force.
Remark
It is recommended to use drive elements with integrated bearings and mount
them on the motor shaft via axially compensating couplings.
5.8 Holding brake

Danger to life or high damage to property, ignition and
WARNING explosion hazard due to inappropriate use!
In order to prevent danger due to ignitable gases or
explosive dust-air mixtures in the vicinity of the motors,
the user must make sure that the holding brake does
not present a source of ignition in the normal service.
For this reason, the holding brake must never be used
outside the design parameters and operating conditions!
− Any commissioning and maintenance works must only
be carried out in non-explosive environments.
− The brakes must be designed so as to fulfill their
function in normal service, if they are installed and
used as intended.
− The holding brake integrated in the motor must only
be used at standstill and never as EMERGENCY STOP
brake to stop the motor, see P-0-0119, Optimal shut-
down(IndraDrive firmware - functional description).
− The holding brake must not be used to brake or stop
the motor or coupled loads from higher speeds or
velocities.

Holding brake
MKE motors can optionally be provided with permanent magnet brakes.

The backlash-free holding brakes are operated according to the “electrically-
released” principle (closed-circuit principle) and open upon applying the
switching voltage.
● Number of operating cycles ≥ 5,000,000
● The holding brakes with emergency stop function are intended to secure
motor shafts at standstill (normal operation). The holding brakes are no
operation brakes to decelerate motors in operation from speed.
● Emergency stop situations are not a normal operation.
● In case of an emergency stop or voltage drop, the brake operation is only
allowed to a limited extend. Up to 500 breaking cycles from speed 3000
1/min can be performed, whereas the maximum switched energy per emer-
gency stop of the brake must not be exceeded. The number of brake appli-
cations per hour is 20, whereas a uniform scheduling is a precondition.
Specifications about the maximum switched energy per emergency stop on
demand.
● Idle time after an emergency stop before restarting ≥ 3 minutes.
Malfunctions due to wear
CAUTION
Impermissibly high wear due to breaking from speed by
exceeding the specified emergency stop properties.
Ensure the functionality of the brake in normal operation, due to voltage con-
trol, current monitoring, cyclic control of the brake holding torque, for example.
The rated voltage to apply the brakes is 24 V DC (±10%).
The voltage supply of the holding brake has to be designed so as to guarantee
under the worst installation and operation conditions that a sufficient voltage
24 V ±10% is available at the motor in order to release the holding brake.
The voltage drop ΔU on the brake supply can approximately be calculated for
copper conductors using the following formula:
Fig. 3: Voltage drop of brake supply

ΔU Voltage drop [V]
ρ Cu Specific resistance of copper [Ω*mm2/m]
l Cable length [m]
q Conductor cross-section [mm2]
I N Rated current [A]
Malfunction in case of exceeded tolerance of the rated
CAUTION voltage (switching voltage)
For safe switching of the holding brake, a rated voltage
of 24 V DC ±10% is required at the motor.
Ensure correct dimensioning of the supply wires (wire
length and cross-section) for the holding brake.
The control voltage can be reduced using the energy saving function after safely
releasing the brake, see ⮫ Chapter 5.8.3 Energy saving function for holding
brakes on page 26.
The holding brake in the motor is intended for direct connection to the Bosch
Rexroth controller.
The protective circuit for switching holding brakes (inductive load) is not inte-
grated in the MKE motors; in Bosch Rexroth drive systems it is integrated in the
control units.

5.8.2 Sizing holding brakes

Static sizing
Check the load torque (M6) with the available holding torque (M4). The load
torque has to be smaller than the holding torque. In case of unsafe assumed
load, use a sufficient safety factor.

Dynamic sizing if emergency stop

In case of an emergency stop, the load torque (M6) has to be smaller than
the minimum dynamic torque (M1) of the brake. Otherwise the dynamic brake
torque is not sufficient to set the axis to standstill.

5.8.3 Energy saving function for holding brakes

Decrease brake voltage
The control voltage of the holding brake in MKE holding brakes can be reduced
after executing the switching operation “Open brake” by using suitable control
modules (e.g. IndraDrive brake control module HAT02.1-003). By decreasing
the control voltage, energy can be saved of up to 50% and the self-heating of
the motor can be reduced.
To decrease the control voltage of MKE holding brakes, the following conditions
apply:
● Maximum decrease of control voltage to UN ≥17 V DC at the motor.
● Waiting time after releasing the holding brake is at least 200 ms
● Decreasing the control voltage by voltage control or pulse width modulation
with a PWM cycle frequency ≥ 4 kHz
Decreasing the controlled voltage or PWM cycle frequency of the control
voltage ≥ 4 kHz
● Ensure the functionality of the holding brake.
Refer to the instructions in the control module documentation.
Refer to the notes for dimensioning of the cable length and cable cross-section
of brake cables.
5.8.4 Safety and personal protection

The permanent magnet brakes of the MKE motors are not safety brakes, since a
holding torque reduction can occur due to uninfluenceable disturbance factors.
Especially for use in vertical axes.

Holding brake
Grievous bodily harm due to dangerous movements from

WARNING falling or dropping axes!
Secure vertical axes against dropping or sinking after
switching off by e.g.:
− Mechanical locking of the vertical axis
− External brake, arrestor, clamping device.
− Weight compensation of the axes
The holding brake itself is not suitable for personal protection. Ensure protec-
tion of persons by superordinate fail-safe measures, like block danger zones via

safety fences.
For European countries, additionally comply with the following standards and
guidelines, e.g.
● EN 954; ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2 Safety-related parts of control units
● Information sheet no. 005 “Gravity-loaded axes (vertical axes)” published
by: DGUV Fachbereich Holz und Metall (German Employer's Liability Insur-
ance Association Wood and Metal)
Determine the complete safety requirements valid for the specific case of
application and observe them during plant design. Comply with all applicable
national regulations!
5.8.5 Functionality test

Danger of explosion at maintenance work and check
WARNING operation
Do maintenance work only outside of hazardous areas.
Ensure that no hazardous gas or dust atmosphere exists
during grind in procedures.
That is why the function and the holding brakes have to be checked in regular
intervals and malfunctions must be removed in an appropriate period.
The braking effect can be reduced by

● Corrosion on friction surfaces, vapor and sediment
● Over voltages and too high temperatures
● Wear (increasing the air gap between armature and pole)
The holding brake functionality can be checked mechanically by hand or auto-

matically by means of the software function.
Manually check holding torque (M4)

1. De-energize the motor and ensure it cannot be restarted.
2. Measure the transferable holding torque (M4) of the holding brake with a
torque wrench.
Check holding torque (M4) using the software function

For Bosch Rexroth drive controller

Bearing
. Start the P-0-0541, C2100 Command Holding system check in drive con-
troller. The efficiency of the holding brake and the opened state are
checked by starting the routine.
🡆 If the holding torque (M4) is not achieved, the resurfacing routine can
be used to reconstitute the holding torque. If you have any questions
about grind in parameters, contact Bosch Rexroth service.
5.9 Vibration behavior

The oscillation behavior corresponds to oscillating quantity level A according to
EN IEC 60034-14:2018 up to the rated speed.
5.10 Bearing
The motors are equipped with a deep-groove ball bearing with high-tempera-
ture grease for prelubrication.
5.10.1 Bearing service life

The bearing lifetime is an important criterion for the availability of motors. The
operating conditions influence the bearing service life L10h considerably.
The following boundary conditions apply to the bearing service life L10h:
● Operation within the specified permissible loads (radial and axial force)
● Operation within the permissible ambient conditions (temperature range
0 … 40 °C, vibration, and so on).
● Operation within the thermally permissible operating characteristic curve
The bearing lifetime also depends on the service life of the grease. A calculated
grease service life was used for the mentioned specifications, taking into con-
sideration the following boundary conditions.
● Horizontal installation
● Low vibration and impact loads
● No oscillating bearing movement < 180°
● Mean speed according to the following table
Table 11: Mean speed - basis of calculated grease service life
Type Mean speed
MKE037 ≤ 3,500 1/min
MKE047 ≤ 3,500 1/min
MKE098 ≤ 3,000 1/min
MKE118 ≤ 2,000 1/min
The following standard values apply under the specified preconditions:
L10h = 30.000 h, in case of utilization after S1-60K and max. load factor 95%
during the runtime.
Remark
When exceeding or not complying with these conditions, a reduced service life
is to be expected.
5.10.2 Explanation of radial and axial force

During operation, both radial and axial forces act upon the motor shaft and
the motor bearing. The permissible radial force FR in distance x from the shaft
shoulder and the mean speed is specified in the radial force diagrams.

Noise emission
Fig. 8: Point of action of radial force FR and axial force FA

The axial force values are the minimum permissible axial forces FA without limi-
tations. A detailed dimensioning is only possible if more boundary conditions

are known:
● Occurring radial force and axial force with force application point
● Installation position (horizontal, vertical with the shaft end pointing to the
top or bottom)
● Mean speed
For radial force diagrams, refer to the technical data

Avoid liquid at the drive shaft or the shaft sealing ring in case of vertical instal-
lation according to IM V3.
5.12 Coating
One-layer standard varnish (1K), waterbased, in condutive form, RAL9005 jet
black, nominal thickness 40 µm.
Danger of explosion due to improper change of the sur-
WARNING face characteristics.
An additional varnish on motors for hazardous areas is
not allowed in order not to negatively influence the sur-
face characteristics (like e.g. insulation resistance, elec-
trostatic charging).
5.13 Noise emission

The typical sound pressure level Lp(A) is specified for the speed range 0 rpm
up to the rated speed in the chapter “Technical data”. The installation situation
affects the noise emission.

7 Operating areas and characteristic curves

7.1 Operating area
The permissible operating ranges for MKE motors are defined for ambient tem-
peratures of 0 … 40 °C and installation altitudes up to 1,000 m above MSL. The
operating areas are characterized by characteristic curve fields.
The individual characteristic curves are described in the following figure.

Speed [1/min]
Fig. 9: Operating area of MKE motors

The thermal motor installation determines the degree of power loss, discharged
via the flange. The rated data for 60K specified in the technical data apply to
thermally isolated installation.
Remark
In case of ambient temperatures above 40 °C and installation altitudes of
1,000 m above MSL, the high performance data have to be reduced (see ).
7.1.1 Continuous operation S1

The S1-60K characteristic curve specifies the thermal limit of the motors. To
increase the machine availability, Bosch Rexroth recommends to project with a
safety factor to the S1-60K characteristic curve.
Project with a safety factor regarding the thermal utilization of the motors to
● compensate unfavorable heat of the flange mounting.
● limit the housing temperature.
● avoid unfavorable machine heating due to the motor.
● increase the reliability of the motor (e.g. motor / encoder bearing).
Property damage due to thermal overload
NOTICE
Motors in continuous operation application must not be
operated above the specified characteristic curve limits
S1-60K.
7.1.2 Periodic intermitted operation S3

During periodic intermittent operation, the motor can tolerate a higher load
depending on the ON time.
7.1.3 Motor torque during operation at standstill

In applications such as joining or press machines, where motors have to pro-
duce torque continuously asymmetrical currents when the motor is in standstill
(close angular range) will flow in the motor windings. This can result in motor
overload during continuous operation. The values specified in the technical
data for the continuous torque that can be applied to the motor output shaft
are valid at speed n ≥ 0.1 Hz.

Tolerances
7.2 Characteristic curves for DC bus voltage

The technical data sheets contain characteristic curves for two typical DC bus
voltages. Depending on the DC bus voltage, the characteristic curves are offset.
Remark
S1 continuous operation curves depend on the DC bus voltage. The rated data
on the type plate are defined with UZK2 for the worst case scenario.
The characteristic curve apply to:

Electrical connection general notes
9 Electrical connection
9.1 Electrical connection general notes
Risk of explosion due to improper handling during motor
WARNING connection!
Make sure that the motor is only connected in de-ener-
gized state and a non-explosive atmosphere.
Before working on the system, always use a suitable
measuring device (e.g. multimeter) to check whether any
parts of the system are still under residual voltage (e.g.
Electrical connection
caused by residual energies of capacitors in filters and
drive units etc.) their discharge times are to be waited
for.
The connection between the protective conductor ter-
minal and the operating ground must be made before
any other connections.
The connection or terminal points to or on the control
unit must be located outside the potentially explosive
atmosphere or must be approved for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
Danger! Electric voltage! Operations in the vicinity of live
WARNING parts are extremely dangerous.
− Work required on the electric system may only be car-
ried out by skilled electricians. Tools for electricians
(VDE tools) are absolutely necessary.
− Isolate (even auxiliary circuits).
− Secure against reactivation.
− Ensure de-energization.
− Ground and short-circuit.
− Cover or shield any adjacent live parts.
High electric voltage! Danger to life, risk of injury by elec-
WARNING tric shock.
While the rotor is rotating, motors with permanent
magnet excitation create a voltage > 60 V at the motor
connections.
Any work may only be carried out while the motor is at
standstill.
Never connect or disconnect plug connectors under
load!
Never touch the connection points of electrostatic sensi-
NOTICE tive devices!
− Mounted components e.g. temperature sensor,
encoder) can contain parts susceptible to electrical
discharge (ESD).
Observe ESD safety measures.

An additional connection of a protective or equipotential bonding conductor is
mandatory for Ex motors. MKEmust be grounded via the additional connection
part (protective earth terminal on the motor flange). Ground terminal cross
section see ⮫ Chapter 9.5 Ground connection on page 78.
Connection thermo controller

The connection of the PTC resistors, for the motor temperature evaluation, is
shown in the respective connection diagrams of the drive control units.
Risk of explosion due to impermissible temperature
WARNING increase in case of faulty temperature evaluation!
The connections [1] and [2] of the PTC resistor (triplet
PTC thermistor) must be connected to the temperature
monitoring of the drive controller!
The maximum permissible surface temperature of the MKE motors is ≤ 135 °C,
which corresponds to temperature class T4. The triplet thermistors installed
in the MKE motors, in conjunction with the evaluation circuits of the drive
controllers, ensure reliable and safe overtemperature shutdown.

pheres if any mounting screws or covers are removed. Do
not remove any screws or covers while the motor is in a
potentially explosive area.
Do not operate the motor outside the parameters shown
in the motor performance curves
Commissioning in potentially explosive atmospheres is prohibited until it has

been ascertained that the overall system corresponds to the demands and
certification conditions for explosion protection.
MKE motors can only be commissioned with other components (drive con-
troller, control unit).

Operation
Prior to commissioning
Make sure you have the documentations of all used products ready.
Prior to commissioning, ensure that the following requirements are met.
● Ensure that the motor and all participating components of the drive are
undamaged.
● Storage time of the motor. Depending on the storage time, take measures to
ensure safe operation. Run in bearings, resurface the holding brake, ... See
table .
● Make sure that all mechanical and electrical connections (temperature
sensor, potential equalization conductor, ...) are properly connected and
secured against loosening.
● Ensure that a holding brake voltage of 24 V ±10% is applied to the motor. If
necessary, adjust the voltage.
● Check the proper function of the holding brake.
● Do not do the grinding procedure in hazardous ambience.
● Ensure that keys are protected against ejection.
Enable the safety devices and monitoring systems of the machine.

Once all requirements are met, proceed as follows:
● Commission the drive system according to the instructions of the corre-
sponding product documentation. The respective information can be found
in the functional description of the drive controllers.
● Record all measures taken in the commissioning log.
Observe the general and technology-dependend safety instructions in this doc-
umentation.
For commissioning of the controllers and control systems, additional steps may
be required. The inspection of the functioning and performance of the systems
is not object of these Operating Instructions; instead, it is carried out within
the framework of the commissioning of the machine as a whole. Comply with
the information and instructions of the machine manufacturer.
11.3 Operation
Do not install the amplifier (drive controller) in a haz-
ardous area.
Do not operate the motor in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres if any mounting screws or covers are removed. Do
not remove any screws or covers while the motor is in a
potentially explosive area.

ther procedure refer to .
Environmental protection and disposal

12 Service repair, maintenance and spare parts
Wearing parts are reliably and professionally repaired and replaced by the
Rexroth Service in shopfloor-oriented quality.
MKE may only be repaired at certified Bosch Rexroth service branches.
The service lives of motor components, such as seals and bearings, may vary
depending on the operating conditions, such as operation mode, speed, vibra-
tion and shock load, and frequent reverse mode. We recommend to change
the bearing after 30,000 operating hours. Shorter replacement intervals may be
necessary; cf. checks during operation . We recommend regular visual inspec-
tions on shaft sealing rings. Depending on operating conditions, signs of wear
may appear after 5,000 operating hours. If necessary, replace the shaft sealing
rings.

13 Environmental protection and disposal

Disposal of the motor components can be done according to the applicable
legal process in normal recycling process.
Recycling
Most of the products can be recycled due to their high content of metal. In
order to recycle the metal in the best possible way, the products must be disas-
sembled into individual assemblies. Metals contained in electric and electronic
assemblies can also be recycled by means of special separation processes.
Basic components
Basically, our motors consist of the following components:
● Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass
● Plastic parts, insulation and composite material
● Electronic components
● Permanent magnets

Plastic parts of the products may contain flame retardants. These plastic parts
are labeled according to EN ISO 1043-1:2011 + A1:2016. They have to be recy-
cled separately or disposed of according to the applicable legal provisions.
Magnets
Danger due to permanent magnets!
WARNING
− Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers,
metallic implants and hearing aids in direct environ-
ment of permanent magnets.
− Crushing hazard of fingers and hand due to heavy
attractive forces of the magnets.
− Risk of destruction of sensitive parts like watches,
credit cards, ...
Remark
The permanent magnets must be demagnetized before disposal to avoid inju-
ries or damage. The demagnetization is reached via thermal treatment. The
duration of the treatment depends on the size (guide value: 300 °C, 30 min).
Packaging
Our packaging materials do not contain any problematic materials and can
therefor be easily disposed. Packaging materials are: wood, cardboard and pol-
ystyrene.
Batteries and accumulators

The symbol indicating "separate collection" for all batteries and accumulators
is the crossed-out wheeled bin. End users in the EU are legally bound to
return used batteries and accumulators. Outside the scope of the EU Directive
2006/66/EC, the applicable regulations must be followed. Batteries and accu-
mulators can contain hazardous substances which can harm the environment
or people's health when improperly stored or disposed of. The batteries or
accumulators must be returned to the country-specific collection systems for
proper disposal.
Disposal by the manufacturer

Our products can be returned to us for disposal. However, this requires that the
products are free from oil, grease or other dirt. The motor components must be
returned in a suitable packaging (origin package if possible). In the case of a
transport by air freight, please observe the dangerous goods regulations (IATA)
for the secondary part.
