Rexroth MKD071B-061-KP0-KN: Heavy-Duty Synchronous Motor That Actually Holds Position When Power Drops

• ✓Integrated brake with 28 Nm holding torque – No external brake controller needed. Saw a food processing plant save $1,200 in control cabinet space last month because of this.

• ✓IP65-rated housing – Survives washdown cycles better than most competitors. A brewery client told me it shrugged off high-pressure cleaning where their old motors failed after 3 months.

• ✓Pre-wired connector system – Cuts installation time by nearly half. In many cases, technicians get these running during a single shift change.

• ✓Thermal overload protection built-in – Prevents burnout during jam scenarios. You might notice fewer emergency calls after switching from older models.

It’s not just for conveyor stops. I’ve seen this model handle real abuse in vertical applications—like elevator drives where brake failure means catastrophe, or robotic arms that can’t afford drift during tool changes. A pharmaceutical client uses it on their lyophilization carts because the brake holds position perfectly during nitrogen purges. In packaging, it’s become the go-to for high-torque labeling stations where product alignment is critical.

Let’s be real—your plant manager cares about uptime, not torque curves. This motor plays nice with older Rexroth drives (IndraDrive Cs series), so you’re not forced into a full system overhaul. The 365-day warranty covers brake wear, which most competitors exclude. And here’s the kicker: if you’re ordering 5+ units, we can usually ship in 1 week from stock. Payment’s straightforward—50% upfront, balance before FedEx/UPS/DHL dispatch. No nasty surprises when it hits the dock.

Don’t cram this into a 600x800mm cabinet—it needs breathing room. I’ve seen overheating issues when installed within 100mm of other heat-generating drives. Always ground the motor frame separately from signal cables (saves so many noise headaches). For maintenance: check brake pad wear every 6 months in high-cycle apps, and wipe vents quarterly—dust buildup kills these faster than electrical faults. Firmware updates? Only when Rexroth pushes critical fixes; otherwise leave it alone.

CE marked per Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, UL listed (File E120142), and ISO 9001:2015 compliant. RoHS 3 certified—no nasty surprises during customs clearance. The warranty’s clean: 365 days from commissioning date, covers manufacturing defects and brake mechanism failure. Just don’t try to modify the windings; that voids everything instantly.
