About the MP-Series Stainless Steel Servo Motor
The MP-Series™ stainless steel (Bulletin MPS) motors are designed to meet the unique needs of
hygienic manufacturing environments such as food, beverage, brewing, dairy, health and beauty,
and pharmaceutical products.
Before You Begin
Remove all packing material 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
Motor Cables and Accessory Kits 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 and modify the motor. This manual describes modifications that you can
perform in the field. Do not attempt other changes.
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.
