About the MP-Series Motors
MP-Series low-inertia motors feature single-turn or multi-turn high resolution
encoders, and are available with 24V dc brakes. These compact brushless servo
motors meet the demanding requirements of high-performance motion systems.
Before You Begin
The customer is responsible for inspecting the equipment before accepting the
shipment from the freight company. Check the item(s) you receive against your
purchase order. Notify the carrier of any shipping damage or missing items
immediately.
Store or operate your motor in a clean and dry location within the following
environmental conditions.
Before You Install the Motor
Perform the inspection steps and review the guidelines for shaft seals, couplings
and pulleys, and electrical noise prevention.
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.
Using Shaft Seals
An additional seal is required on the motor shaft near the motor front bearing, if the
shaft is exposed to fluids or significant amounts of fine dust. This includes
lubricating oil from a gearbox. An IP66 rating for the motor requires use of a shaft
seal and environmentally sealed connectors/cables. The additional seal is not
ATTENTION
Do not attempt to open and modify the motor beyond changing the connector orientation
as described on page 7. Only a qualified Allen-Bradley employee can service this type of
motor.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.

5
Publication MP-IN001F-EN-P December 2008
recommended in applications where the motor shaft area is free of liquids or fine
dust and a lower rating will suffice.
• Refer to Environmental Ratings for a brief description of the IP rating for
these MP-Series motors.
• Refer to Shaft Seal Kits to find the catalog numbers of seal kits available for
your motor.
• Refer to Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide, publication GMC-SG001 to
find environmentally sealed connectors and cables compatible with the
MP-Series motors.
Using Couplings and Pulleys
Mechanical connections to the motor shaft, such as couplings and pulleys, require a
torsionally rigid coupling or a reinforced timing belt. The high dynamic
performance of servo motors can cause couplings, pulleys or belts to loosen or slip
over time. A loose or slipping connection will cause system instability and may
damage the motor shaft. All connections between the system and the servo motor
shaft must be rigid to achieve acceptable response from the system. Periodically
inspect connections to verify their rigidity.
When mounting couplings or pulleys to the motor shaft, ensure that the
connections are properly aligned and that axial and radial loads are within the
specifications of the motor. Refer to Motor Load Force Ratings for guidelines to
achieve 20,000 hours of motor bearing life.
Preventing Electrical Noise
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), commonly called noise, may adversely impact
motor performance by inducing stray signals. Effective techniques to counter EMI
include filtering the AC power, shielding and separating signal carrying lines, and
practicing good grounding techniques.
Effective AC power filtering can be achieved by using isolated AC power
transformers or properly installed AC line filters.
ATTENTION
Damage may occur to the motor bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact to the
shaft is applied during installation of couplings and pulleys. Damage to the feedback
device may result by applying leverage from the motor mounting face to remove devices
mounted on the motor shaft.
Do not strike the shaft, couplings, or pulleys with tools during installation or removal. Use
a wheel puller applying pressure from the user end of the shaft to remove any friction fit or
stuck device from the motor shaft.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its
components.

6
Publication MP-IN001F-EN-P December 2008
Avoid the effects of EMI by following these guidelines.
• Physically separate signal lines from motor cabling and power wiring. Do
not route signal wires with motor and power wires, or over the vent
openings of servo drives.
• Ground all equipment using a single-point parallel ground system that
employs ground bus bars or large straps. If necessary, use additional
electrical noise reduction techniques to reduce EMI in noisy environments.
Refer to System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual,
publication GMC-RM001 for additional information on reducing the effects of EMI by
improving the system level electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Building and Installing Cables
Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves system
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
To build and install cables, perform the following steps.
1. Keep wire lengths as short as physically possible.
2. Route signal cables (encoder, serial, analog) away from motor and power
wiring.
3. Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel run.
4. Ground both ends of the encoder cable shield and twist the signal wire pairs
to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment.
ATTENTION
High voltage can be present on the shield of a power cable, if the shield is not grounded.
Ensure there is a connection to ground for any power cable shield.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.

Publication MP-IN001F-EN-P December 2008
Install the Motor
All motors include a mounting pilot for aligning the motor on a machine. Preferred
fasteners are stainless steel. The installation must comply with all local regulations
and use of equipment and installation practices that promote electromagnetic
compatibility and safety.
Changing the Orientation of the Connectors
MP-Series motors use two styles of connectors. The connector style is identified by
a 2 or a 7 as the connector variable in the motor catalog number. For example,
MPx-xxxxx-xx2xxx or MPx-xxxxx-xx7xxx.
• A 2 indicates a circular bayonet connector, facing the shaft.
• A 7 indicates a circular DIN, right angle, rotatable connector.
The sections below describe acceptable methods for rotating the connector
orientation for these connector styles.
ATTENTION
Unmounted motors, disconnected mechanical couplings, loose shaft keys, and
disconnected cables are dangerous if power is applied.
Disassembled equipment should be appropriately identified (tagged-out) and access to
electrical power restricted (locked-out).
Before applying power to the motor, remove the shaft key and other mechanical couplings
which could be thrown from the shaft.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury.
ATTENTION
Ensure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexing at the
cable connectors.
Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors may result in the connector’s
environmental seal opening and closing as the cable flexes.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its
components.

Reversible Connector Facing the Shaft (MPL-xxxxx-xx2xxx)
This connector housing can be reversed to face down when the motor is installed
in a vertical application, or rearward if connector access is restricted in a horizontal
application. Perform these steps to remount the connector housing.
1. Remove the three connector housing screws from the motor.
2. Rotate connector housing 180 degrees. If binding of the wire bundles
prevents rotation of the connector, you can gain access to the internal motor
wiring by following these steps.
a. Remove the four screws from the rear cover of the motor.
b. Carefully reposition the wires around the perimeter of the motor
feedback device located under the rear cover.
c. Be sure that the wires are not close to any rotating parts.
3. Re-install the connector housing and torque the three screws to
0.8…1.0 N•m (7…9 lb•in.) after verifying that gaskets are properly
positioned, and that no wires are pinched under the connector housing.
4. Re-install the four rear cover screws and torque them to 0.8…1.0 N•m
(7…9 lb•in) after ensuring that the rear cover O-ring is properly positioned
onto the rear cover circular pilot surface.
ATTENTION
Do not loosen or remove the motor feedback device (encoder) mounting screws while
repositioning the connector wires.
Encoder alignment is a critical adjustment that can only be performed in the factory.
Misadjustment can render the motor inoperable or degrade motor performance, and voids
the motor warranty.
Failure to observe this safety precaution could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
ATTENTION
Exercise caution to prevent damaging the screw holes when reinserting the self-tapping
screws holding the connector housing and rear cover.
Excessive force may strip the threads within the screw holes and prevent proper sealing of
the motor. Ensure that the specified torque values are not exceeded.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its
components.

Rotatable Circular DIN Connector (MPL-xxxxx-xx7xxx)
The circular DIN connector housing can be rotated up to 180° in either direction.
Perform these steps to turn the DIN connectors.
1. Mount and fully seat a mating cable on the connector.
2. Grasp both connectors by their housings and slowly rotate them to the
outside of the motor. If necessary, repeat this step for each connector
(feedback or power/brake).
Only apply force to the connectors; do not apply force to the cable. No tools
(for example, pliers and vise-grips) should be used to assist with the rotation
of the connector.
Install the Motor
Perform these steps to install the motor.
1. Allow sufficient clearances in the area of the motor for it to stay within its
specified operating temperature range.
Refer to Before You Begin for the operating temperature range. Do not
enclose the motor unless forced air is blown across the motor for cooling. A
fan blowing air across the motor will improve its performance. Keep other
heat producing devices away from the motor.
To obtain the specified motor thermal rating, mount the motor on a surface
with heat dissipation equivalent to a 12 x 12 x 0.5 inch aluminum heatsink.
ATTENTION
Connectors are designed to be rotated into a fixed position during installation of the
motor, and remain in that position without further adjustment. Strictly limit the applied
forces and the number of times the connector is rotated to be sure that connectors meet
the requirements of IP66.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its
components.
ATTENTION
Damage may occur to the motor bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact to the
shaft is applied during installation of couplings and pulleys. Do not strike the shaft,
couplings, or pulleys with tools during installation or removal.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its
components.

10
Publication MP-IN001F-EN-P December 2008
2. Refer to Motor Load Force Ratings to determine the radial and axial shaft
load limitations of your motor.
3. Place the motor with the connector housing pointing downward.
4. Mount and align the motor.
Electronic zero, Index pulse or Stegmann ABS = 0, occurs when the shaft
key or dimple is aligned with the connectors.
Refer to Mounting Dimensions for a visual reference of this alignment.
5. Attach all power, feedback, and brake cables after the motor is mounted,
and use a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids away from the connectors.
Use this procedure to attach the cable connectors.
ATTENTION
Outer surfaces of motor can reach high temperatures, 125 °C (275 °F) during motor
operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces. Consider motor surface
temperature when selecting motor mating connections and cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
ATTENTION
Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-tightened the recommended number
of turns.
Improper connector alignment is indicated by the need for excessive force, such as the use
of tools, to fully seat connectors.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and cable,
and their components.
ATTENTION
When installing threaded DIN style cable connectors, O-rings are required on the motor
connectors. The O-rings provide ingress protection.
Cables requiring O-rings include power cable 2090-XXNPMF-xxSxor
2090-CPxM4DF-xxAFxx, and feedback cable 2090-XXNFMF-Sxx or
2090-CFBM4DF-CDAFxx.
Flex cables with a threaded DIN style connector have an M4 designation.

11
Publication MP-IN001F-EN-P December 2008
a. Carefully align each cable connector with the respective motor connector
as shown in the following diagram. Do not apply excessive force when
mating the cable and motor connectors. If the connectors do not go
together with light hand force, realign and try again.
b. Hand tighten the knurled collar 5 to 6 turns to fully seat each connector.
If your motor has an ATEX rating for hazardous environments, complete the
following step. The catalog number on ATEX motor nameplates ends with
H, for example MPL-xxxxx-xxxxH.
6. Verify the continuity and functionality of the thermal switch signals, TS+ and
TS-, transmitted through the feedback cable that connects the motor to its
controlling drive.
WARNING
It is mandatory that the motion system monitor the thermal switch signals from a motor
requiring an ATEX rating.
The intrinsic safety protection concepts in the ATEX Direction 94/9/EC must be enabled
by connecting the thermal switch signals from the motor to the motion control system.
Failure to observe these safety procedures may lead to personal injury or death, damage
to the equipment, or economic loss.

Motor Load Force Ratings
Motors are capable of operating with a sustained shaft load. The radial and axial
load force location is shown in the figure, and maximum values are in the tables.
Load Forces on Shaft
The following tables represent 20,000 hour L10 bearing fatigue life at various loads
and speeds. This 20,000 hour life does not account for possible application-specific
life reduction that may occur due to bearing grease contamination from external
sources.
