Note: Motor damage and forfeiture of guarantee!
• Excessive shaft loads can damage the motor and shorten bearing service life. The guarantee is also forfeited. Therefore, please comply with the following instructions!
Plain driven shaft
Driven shaft with keyway
Maximum allowed radial force Fradial_max depends on shaft break load. It is determined by distance x of the point of application of force and the type of driven shaft used (plain shaft or shaft with keyway).
The chapter 7 to 13 contains the section ”Maximum shaft load”.
⇒ Using the curve shown there determine the maximum allowed radial force Fradial_max for your application.
⇒ Make sure that the radial force is not exceeded in operation.
The allowed radial load Fradial depends on the bearing service life wanted.
It is based on the arithmetically determined speed of the motor nmittel and distance x of the point of application of force (see Fig. 4-13).
The chapter 7 to 13 contains the section ”Maximum shaft load”.
⇒ Using the curve shown there determine the allowed radial load Fradial
for your application.
⇒ Make sure that the determined radial load is not exceeded during operation.

It is proportional to the allowed radial load Fradial.
The proportionality factor is also listed in chapter 7 through 13, in section
"Maximum shaft load".
⇒ Using the formula shown there determine the maximum allowed axial force Faxial for your application.
⇒ Make sure that the determined axial force is not exceeded in operation. Note the following on this!
Maximum allowed radial force Fradial_max
Allowed radial force Fradial
Allowed Axial force Faxial
Note: Thermal effects can cause the flanged end of the driven shaft to shift up to 06. mm away from the motor housing. If helical gears or bevel wheel pinions that are directly mounted to the driven shaft are used, then this will lead to changes in the length
• and to a change in the position of the axis if the drive pinions are not axially fixed to the machine
• or to a thermally-dependent component of the axial force, if the drive pinions are axially mounted to the machine. The danger here is that the maximum allowed axial force will be exceeded or the play within the gears will rise to unacceptable levels.
It is advisable in such cases to use drive components with their own bearings connected to the motor shaft via axially compensating couplings.
If both allowed radial and axial forces are not exceeded, then it applies to the nominal bearing service life:
L10h = 30,000 operating hours (computed per ISO 281, edition dated 12/1990).
Bearing service life otherwise is reduced:

Note: The actually effective radial load Fradial_ist may never exceed maximum allowed radial load Fradial_max.
Note: When mounting drive components to the driven shaft a redundant bearing must absolutely be avoided. The inevitably existing tolerances generate additional forces effecting the bearings of the motor shaft and thus to a clearly reduced bearing service life. If a redundant bearing is unavoidable, then please first consult with Rexroth Indramat!

4.7 Surface cooling
For extreme loads such as occur with continuous start/start operations with high repetitive frequencies, radial surface cooling can be mounted to MHP071, MHP090, MHP093, MHP112 and MHP115 motors.
Blower motors operating with supply voltages of 1xAC230 V and 1xAC115 V are available.

Fig. 4-15: Examples of an MHP motor with radial surface cooling
Radial surface cooling is listed at the time of order as a sub item of the motor „mounted to the motor”. For detailed information on how to order, see sections 8 to 4.9.
Note: Motors with mounted blower units are not suited for applications with shock loads as occurring during
• stamping
• pressing or
• in gantry axes.
In such cases, use motors without surface cooling and higher torques.
4.8 Holding Brake
Option. For holding the servo axis when the machine is without power.
The holding brake works with the principle of ”electrically releasing”.
When there is no power, a magnetic force effects the anchor disc of the brake. This closes the brake and holds the axis.
With the application of 24 VDC the continuous magnetic field is replaced with the electrically generated magnetic field and the brake opens.
The holding brake is controlled by the controller. This ensures the correct on/off sequence in all operating states.
DANGER
Dropping axis!
Personnel endangered by pinching or cutting off of body parts.
⇒ The holding brake alone does not ensure personnel safety. Safety must be ensured by more extensive structural measures such as protective fences or grids or equipping the installation with a second brake.
Note: Premature wear of holding brake possible !
• The holding brake wears down after about 20,000 revolutions of the motor in a closed state. That is why the holding brake should not be used as a brake that brings an axis in motion to a standstill. This is only permitted in an emergency stop situation.
Check holding torque before starting up the machine.
Note: If motors have been stored for extended periods, then the transmittable torque of the holding brake must be checked before the motor is used. If the torque as specified in the data sheets is not achieved, then it is necessary to adjust the motor before use.
⇒ Please note the information in section „17.5, Re-seating the Holding Brake".

With MHP041, MHP071 and MHP090 motors, the outgoing direction can be set when mounting over a range of 270°. With MHP093, MHP112 and MHP115 motors, this direction is set at the time the order is placed.
Note: The outgoing direction specified in the order for MHP093, MHP112 and MHP115 motors can be changed at the time of mounting. See section 15 „Power connector” for details.
Power connection
With MHP041, MHP071 and MHP090 motors, the outgoing direction of the feedback connector can be set at mounting over a range of 270° -possibly only restricted by the outgoing direction of the power connection.
If feedback cables with angle feedback connectors are used in MHP093, MHP112 and MHP115 motors, then the outgoing direction of the feedback cable must be the B side of the motor.
