MPL-B230P-HJ74AA

The MPL-B230P-HJ74AA from Allen-Bradley is part of the Kinetix servo motor products. This servo motor specifically belongs to the MP series Low inertia motors. The MPL-B230P-HJ74AA is a brushless synchronous AC motor that comes with rare earth magnets for an enhanced acceleration compared to other servo motors. Additionally, this servo motor has high torque to size ratio. With a compact and small assembly, this servo motor is ideal for installation in small application areas.

The MPL-B230P-HJ74AA is a servo motor that is powered by an external 460VAC input voltage. It has a frame that measures 75 mm and magnet stack length of 76.2 mm or 3.0 inches. The maximum operating speed of the MPL-B230P-HJ74AA is 5000 rpm with an output power of 0.86 kW and continuous stall Torque rating of 2.1 N-m. The encoder that is pre-installed with this servo motor is an incremental encoder with 2000 lines/revolution. It comes with a 24VDC holding brake which allow the motor to implement the necessary braking characteristic.

Other features of this servo motor include an onboard memory that is used to store the motor’s identity. Being part of the Smart motor technology, this servo motor also has a communication link that enables it to communicate using a communication protocol. Additionally, when installed with a compatible Kinetix Drive controller, this servo motor is capable of being integrated with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).

This servo motor is not ideal for use in food grade requirements. However, it is compatible for use in a wide variety of industrial applications including packaging, converting, material handling, electronic assembly, and automotive applications.

This motor has an input voltage rated at 460 Volts AC and its frame is 2.95 inches in size. Additionally, the motor has a speed of 5000 revolutions per minute and it supports a 2000 line feedback encoder. The MPL-B230P-HJ74AA servo motor features a 24 Volts DC brake, 180 degrees rotatable right-angled circular DINs, and a shaft key. The MPL-B230P-HJ74AA servo motor belongs to the Allen-Bradley MP low-inertia series of motors. Motors in this series have multiple winding speed options which bring down the overall system costs and assists in drive sizing when selecting a drive. Additionally, motors in the MPL series have common hardware options which reduce the need to stock a variety of spare parts and the time it takes to bring the motor back into operation when it stops operating and a part needs to be replaced. The MPL-B230P-HJ74AA servo motor, like other motors in the same family, allows for mechanical interchangeability with servo motors in the Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation MPM series since they all have the same design. Consequently, this allows for simplified machine design. The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation MPL-B230P-HJ74AA servo motor will have a shortened motor life if its bearings are contaminated. This risk can be reduced by employing a shaft seal. However, note that a shaft seal is only necessary when the motor shaft is in danger of being exposed to liquids like lubricating oil from the gearbox. Also, a shaft seal may be necessary when the shaft is at risk of being exposed to fine dust.
