About the MP-Series Food-grade Motors
MP-Series™ food-grade (Bulletin MPF) motors feature single-turn or multi-turn high resolution
encoders, and are available with 24V DC brakes. These compact brushless servo motors combine
the characteristics of the MP-Series low-inertia motors with unique features designed for food
and beverage applications.
Before You Begin
Remove all packing material, wedges, and braces from within and around the item. After
unpacking, verify the nameplate catalog number against the purchase order.
1. Remove the motor carefully from its shipping container.
2. Visually inspect the motor for any damage.
3. Examine the motor frame, front output shaft, and mounting pilot for any defects.
4. Notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately.
Keep the original packing material in case you need to return the product for repair or transport
it to another location. Use both the inner and outer packing cartons to provide adequate
protection for a unit returned for service.
Store or operate your motor in a clean and dry location within the environmental conditions
listed in
Specifications on page 22 .
To Prolong Motor Life
Proper design and maintenance can increase the life of a servo motor. Follow these guidelines to
maximize the life of a servo motor within your environment:
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to open or modify this motor beyond changing the connector orientation as
described in
Change Connector Orientation on page 9 .
Only an authorized Allen-Bradley repair center can service this item. Refer to Rockwell Automation Support for
assistance to locate the nearest repair center.
ATTENTION: Do not spray liquids under high pressure directly on the connectors, the motor, or enclosure joints.
Fluids under high pressure can be forced into the connectors, resulting in an electrical short circuit. Fluids also can
be forced around worn seals, and contaminate the motor bearings. Bearing contamination significantly shortens
the life of a servo motor.
The motor has 3 m (9.8 ft) cables with nickel-plated connectors for motor power and feedback. These connectors
are not designed to withstand high pressure washdown or washdown with aggressive cleaning compounds.
Position connectors away from direct exposure to cleaning processes, for example within washdown-rated conduit
or junction boxes.
