MKD071B-061-GP0-KN | Synchronous servomotor

Product Overview

The MKD071B-061-GP0-KN is a high-precision synchronous servomotor, part of Bosch Rexroth’s renowned MKD series—a line celebrated for its compact design and reliable performance in demanding automation environments. This motor specializes in translating electrical signals into precise mechanical motion, making it a critical component in systems where accuracy, speed, and repeatability are non-negotiable.

In industrial setups, the MKD071B-061-GP0-KN serves as the driving force behind intricate motion sequences, such as precise positioning in assembly lines or synchronized movement in robotic systems. Its compact 71 mm frame size belies its power, delivering consistent torque even at high speeds, which is invaluable for applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. What sets the MKD071B-061-GP0-KN apart is its balance of agility and robustness: it responds swiftly to drive commands while withstanding the rigors of factory floors, ensuring long-term reliability in continuous operation.

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Benefits

The MKD071B-061-GP0-KN excels in precision, thanks to its 2500 ppr incremental encoder, which delivers fine position feedback for tight control over motion sequences—critical in applications like electronics assembly, where components as small as 0.1 mm must be placed with absolute accuracy. Its dynamic response is equally impressive: the motor accelerates quickly to rated speed and decelerates smoothly, minimizing overshoot and ensuring stable operation in high-cycle tasks such as packaging machine indexing.

Durability is built into the design. The MKD071B-061-GP0-KN features a robust aluminum housing and a stainless-steel shaft, while its IP65 protection at the shaft end shields against dust and low-pressure water jets—ideal for factory floors where spills or debris are common. Thermal efficiency is another strength; the motor dissipates heat effectively during continuous operation, preventing performance degradation even under prolonged full-load conditions.

Integration is seamless, too. The motor’s standard mounting flange and electrical interfaces align with industry norms, making it easy to pair with Bosch Rexroth’s IndraDrive Cs series drives or third-party controllers. This compatibility reduces setup time and ensures consistent communication between components, enhancing overall system efficiency.

Application Scenarios

The MKD071B-061-GP0-KN thrives in industries requiring precise, repeatable motion. In electronics manufacturing, it powers the X-Y tables of PCB assembly machines, where its 1.6 Nm torque and 3000 rpm speed enable the precise placement of surface-mount components—ensuring solder joints are accurate and reliable, even for miniaturized circuits.

In packaging, the MKD071B-061-GP0-KN drives labeling systems, where its quick response adjusts the position of labels to match varying package sizes, reducing misalignment and waste. It also excels in material handling, such as small-part conveyor systems in automotive suppliers, where it controls belt speed to synchronize with robotic pick-and-place arms, ensuring parts are transferred without jams or delays.

For laboratory automation, the motor’s compact size and low vibration make it ideal for liquid handling robots, where smooth motion prevents spills and ensures precise volume dispensation—critical for diagnostic or pharmaceutical research applications.
