The Rexroth MSK060C-0600-NN-S1-UP1-NNNN represents a pinnacle in synchronous servo technology, specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern factory automation. As manufacturing processes evolve toward higher speeds and tighter tolerances, the MSK series provides the necessary torque density and precision to maintain a competitive edge. This motor is not merely a drive component; it is an engineered solution for deterministic motion, offering seamless integration with digital drive controllers.
The "C" length frame of the MSK060 series is optimized for high power-to-weight ratios. By utilizing high-energy permanent magnets and an advanced winding design, Rexroth has achieved a motor that responds nearly instantaneously to command changes. This makes the MSK060C-0600 particularly effective in applications involving frequent start-stop cycles or complex synchronization profiles.

Precision begins with feedback. The MSK060C-0600 is equipped with an S1 optical single-turn encoder. This feedback system offers high-resolution position data within a single revolution, ensuring that the drive controller can execute micro-movements with absolute accuracy. Unlike traditional resolvers, optical encoders provide superior signal quality and resistance to magnetic interference, which is critical for maintaining surface finish quality in CNC machining or registration accuracy in high-speed printing.
Safety in vertical axes or high-inertia loads is managed by the integrated UP1 holding brake. This electrically released brake is designed to hold the load securely when the motor is de-energized. Operating on the "fail-safe" principle, the brake engages automatically during power loss, preventing uncontrolled axis drops. The 4.0 Nm holding torque is perfectly matched to the motor’s capacity, ensuring that even under maximum load, position integrity is maintained during idle periods or emergency situations.
Reliability in industrial environments requires robust protection. The MSK060C-0600 features an IP65-rated housing, which prevents the ingress of dust and protects against low-pressure water jets. The motor's surface is designed for optimal heat dissipation via natural convection, allowing for continuous operation without the need for external cooling fans in standard ambient conditions. This reduces maintenance requirements and eliminates potential points of failure in the cooling system.
The versatility of the Rexroth MSK060C-0600 makes it a staple in various high-tech sectors:
Packaging Industry: Powering pick-and-place robots and wrapping machines where cycle times are measured in milliseconds.
Machine Tools: Driving auxiliary axes and tool changers where the combination of high speed (6000 RPM) and precision positioning is vital.
Printing and Converting: Maintaining tension and alignment in web-handling systems through highly synchronized motion.
Material Handling: Ensuring smooth and rapid movement in automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).
For optimal performance, the MSK060C-0600-NN-S1-UP1-NNNN should be mounted on a heat-conductive surface. While the motor is maintenance-free under normal operating conditions, periodic inspection of the shaft seal and electrical connectors is recommended to ensure the IP65 rating remains intact. Using original Rexroth IndraDrive power and feedback cables is essential to maintain electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and prevent signal degradation over long cable runs.
Commissioning is streamlined through the "electronic nameplate" stored within the S1 encoder. Upon connection to a Rexroth drive, the motor identifies itself and automatically uploads its parameters, drastically reducing setup time and eliminating the risk of incorrect motor configuration. This "plug-and-play" capability is a hallmark of the Bosch Rexroth motion control ecosystem.
