About the MP-Series Medium Inertia Motors
MP-Series™ medium-inertia (Bulletin MPM) motors feature resolvers and single-turn or
multi-turn high resolution encoders. They are also available with 24V DC holding brakes. These
compact brushless servo motors combine the features of the MP-Series low-inertia motors with a
rotor that is better suited for high-inertia loads.

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:
•
Always provide a drip loop in each cable to carry liquids away from the connection to the
motor.
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
