MPL-B560F-MK74AA Servo Motor

1. Product Overview

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA is a low-inertia brushless AC rotary servo motor belonging to the MP-Series MPL servo motor family.

It is designed for demanding industrial motion-control applications where the motor must provide precise speed regulation, accurate positioning, rapid dynamic response, and reliable operation over repeated machine cycles.

The motor has a 460 VAC rating, a 165 mm frame size, a 152.4 mm magnetic stack length, and a 3000 rpm rated speed. It uses a high-resolution absolute multi-turn encoder for feedback and incorporates a 24 V DC holding brake.

The motor has a keyless shaft, no shaft seal, and a right-angle SpeedTEC DIN connector with 180° rotational capability, providing useful flexibility when the motor is installed in machinery with limited cable-routing space.

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA is particularly well suited to applications where rapid acceleration and deceleration are required. Its low-inertia construction allows the servo system to respond quickly to changes in the commanded position or speed.

Another important feature is the integrated holding brake. The brake is especially useful in applications where the motor must help hold a mechanical load when the servo system is stopped or power is removed. The suitability of the brake for a specific safety or vertical-axis application should always be evaluated as part of the complete machine design.

4. Important Correction About Weight

For this exact model, the commonly specified shipping/product weight is approximately 60 lb, which converts to approximately:

60 lb × 0.453592 = 27.22 kg

Therefore, a practical catalog value is approximately 27.2 kg.

This is an important distinction from some visually similar MPL models. The presence of the 24 V DC holding brake can contribute to the difference in weight between otherwise similar motor configurations.

For product listings, the recommended wording is:

Weight: approximately 27.2 kg

rather than using the substantially lower weight sometimes associated with other motor configurations.

---

5. Physical Dimensions

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA uses a 165 mm frame and a 152.4 mm magnetic stack.

Physical Parameter	Dimension
Model	MPL-B560F-MK74AA
Frame Size	165 mm
Frame Size	Approx. 6.50 in
Magnetic Stack	152.4 mm
Magnetic Stack	6.0 in
Mounting Standard	IEC metric
Mounting Flange	Metric flange
Shaft	Keyless
Connector	Right-angle circular SpeedTEC DIN
Connector Adjustment	180°
Overall Length	Mechanical drawing should be used for final value
Overall Width	Determined by motor frame/flange geometry
Overall Height	Determined by motor frame/flange geometry
Approx. Weight	27.2 kg

The 165 mm frame dimension should not be interpreted as the complete external motor envelope. When designing a machine, sufficient clearance must also be provided for the shaft, flange, connector, brake-related construction, cables, and maintenance access.

For cabinet or machine-layout purposes, the exact mechanical drawing should be used rather than estimating the total motor length from the magnetic stack length alone.

---

6. Product Model Number Explanation

The model number MPL-B560F-MK74AA identifies a specific motor configuration.

Code	General Configuration
MPL	MPL low-inertia brushless servo motor family
B	460 V / 480 V-class configuration
5	165 mm frame size
60	152.4 mm magnetic stack configuration
F	3000 rpm speed configuration
M	High-resolution absolute multi-turn feedback
K	Keyless shaft configuration
7	SpeedTEC DIN right-angle connector configuration
4	24 V DC holding-brake configuration
AA	Standard factory configuration designation

The final model suffix is particularly important.

The “4” in the MK74AA configuration indicates the holding-brake configuration. Consequently, the MPL-B560F-MK74AA should not be treated as electrically and mechanically identical to every motor beginning with MPL-B560F-MK7.

When purchasing a replacement, the entire catalog number should be matched whenever possible.

---

7. Product Introduction

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA is designed for machines that require controlled rotary motion rather than simple continuous motor rotation.

In a servo system, the motor operates together with a servo drive and motion controller. The controller determines the required movement, the drive regulates motor current, and the encoder provides feedback regarding the motor’s position and movement.

This closed-loop arrangement allows the machine to control:

• Position
• Speed
• Acceleration
• Deceleration
• Torque
• Direction
• Synchronization
• Repetitive motion

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA combines a low-inertia rotor with high-resolution absolute feedback. This combination makes the motor well suited to machines that frequently change speed or direction.

The integrated 24 V DC holding brake provides another useful feature for machine designers. It can be used to hold the motor shaft when the servo system is not actively controlling the axis, subject to the application’s mechanical and safety requirements.

---

8. Low-Inertia Motor Design

The low-inertia construction is one of the most important characteristics of the MPL series.

Motor inertia determines how readily the motor can change its rotational speed.

A lower-inertia rotor generally requires less torque to achieve a given acceleration, allowing the servo system to respond rapidly to changes in the motion command.

This is particularly useful in:

• Indexing machinery
• Pick-and-place equipment
• Packaging machines
• Cutting systems
• Printing equipment
• Automated assembly equipment
• High-cycle production machines
• Precision positioning systems

For machines with frequent start-stop operation, the low-inertia configuration can contribute to shorter motion cycles and improved machine responsiveness.

---

9. High-Resolution Absolute Multi-Turn Feedback

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA uses high-resolution absolute multi-turn feedback.

The encoder is an essential component of the servo system because it provides the control system with information about motor position and movement.

A multi-turn encoder is particularly valuable where the motor rotates through multiple revolutions and the control system needs detailed positional information.

The feedback system supports closed-loop operation, allowing the servo drive to compare commanded motion with actual motor movement.

This helps the machine maintain accurate positioning and stable operation.

---

10. 24 V DC Holding Brake

The integrated 24 V DC holding brake is one of the most significant differences between the MPL-B560F-MK74AA and some related MPL configurations.

The brake is designed primarily as a holding device.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Vertical axes
• Lift mechanisms
• Positioning axes
• Material-handling mechanisms
• Machines where the axis should remain stationary when servo power is removed
• Applications where uncontrolled shaft movement must be minimized

However, a motor holding brake should not automatically be treated as a complete machine safety brake.

For vertical or potentially hazardous loads, the machine designer should evaluate the entire load-holding and safety architecture, including mechanical counterbalance, external braking, safety circuits, drive behavior, load inertia, and applicable machine-safety requirements.

---

11. Keyless Shaft Configuration

The motor uses a keyless shaft.

A keyless shaft can be advantageous where the machine uses a compatible clamping coupling or other shaft-locking mechanism.

This configuration can provide a clean mechanical interface and can be suitable for precision servo applications.

The selected coupling must be compatible with:

• Shaft diameter
• Motor torque
• Maximum operating speed
• Radial load
• Axial load
• Alignment requirements
• Acceleration and deceleration
• Duty cycle

The shaft should never be treated as interchangeable with a keyed-shaft motor solely because the frame size is the same.

---

12. Right-Angle Rotatable Connector

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA uses a circular SpeedTEC DIN connector in a right-angle configuration.

The connector can be rotated through approximately 180°.

This feature is useful in compact machine installations because the cable does not have to exit in only one fixed direction.

It can help simplify:

• Cable routing
• Cable-track installation
• Machine-frame layout
• Connector clearance
• Motor replacement
• Maintenance access

For machines with limited rear clearance, connector orientation can be just as important as the motor’s basic frame dimensions.

---

Selection Comments

The MPL-B560F-MK72AA is the closest comparison when the machine does not require the integrated holding brake.

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA remains the preferred choice when the 24 V DC holding brake is required and the machine is designed around the 165 mm / 152.4 mm motor configuration.

The MPL-B560F-SJ74AA and MPL-B560F-SK74AA are useful related MPL configurations when evaluating different feedback or configuration arrangements.

The MPL-B580F-MJ74AA represents a larger-capacity direction within the same general MPL product family and can be considered when the machine requires more motor capability than the 165 mm frame configuration provides.

Because servo motor suffixes can represent differences in feedback, shaft, connector and brake configuration, the complete catalog number should always be checked before substitution.

---

17. Comparison: MPL-B560F-MK72AA vs. MPL-B560F-MK74AA

These two models are particularly useful to compare because they share much of the same basic motor configuration.

Parameter	MPL-B560F-MK72AA	MPL-B560F-MK74AA
Series	MP-Series MPL	MP-Series MPL
Voltage	460 VAC	460 VAC
Frame	165 mm	165 mm
Magnetic Stack	152.4 mm	152.4 mm
Rated Speed	3000 rpm	3000 rpm

Shaft	Keyless	Keyless
Connector	SpeedTEC DIN	SpeedTEC DIN
Brake	No brake configuration	24 V DC holding brake
Weight	Lower than brake-equipped version	Approx. 27.2 kg
Main Difference	Brake-free configuration	Brake-equipped configuration

The main practical difference is the brake.

If the machine is a horizontal rotary application with no requirement for shaft holding after power removal, the brake-free configuration may be adequate.

If the machine includes a vertical axis or another load that requires controlled holding, the brake-equipped configuration may be more appropriate.

---

18. Five Popular Models from the Same Brand

The following products represent commonly encountered industrial automation and motion-control models from the same brand family and are useful for broader equipment selection.

Model	Product Category	Typical Function	Main Specification	Feedback / Control	Approx. Weight	Dimensions
MPL-B560F-MK74AA	MPL Servo Motor	Precision rotary motion	460 VAC, 3000 rpm, approx. 26.8 N·m	Absolute multi-turn encoder	27.2 kg	165 mm frame; 152.4 mm stack

2094-BC02-M02	Kinetix Servo Drive / Integrated Motion Component	Servo drive and motion control	High-voltage industrial servo system	Digital motion feedback	Approx. several kg	Cabinet-mounted; exact dimensions depend on system configuration
2198-H025-ERS	Kinetix Servo Drive	Servo motor control	480 V class motion-control architecture	Integrated feedback/control interface	Approx. 3 kg class	Compact cabinet-mounted enclosure
1756-L81E	ControlLogix Controller	Machine and motion control	High-performance programmable controller	EtherNet/IP-based control architecture	Approx. 0.3 kg class	Chassis-mounted controller module

These models do not all perform the same function. The servo motors provide mechanical movement, servo drives provide power conversion and motor control, and the controller provides machine-level logic and coordinated motion commands.

---

19. Servo Motor and Servo Drive Relationship

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA should be considered as one part of a complete motion-control system.

A typical system contains:

Controller → Servo Drive → Servo Motor → Mechanical Load

The controller determines what the machine should do.

The servo drive converts the control command into controlled electrical current.

The motor converts that electrical power into mechanical torque and rotation.

The encoder sends position information back to the drive.

The brake provides shaft-holding capability when appropriately controlled.

This closed-loop structure is what allows the machine to perform accurate and repeatable motion.

---

20. Application Selection Guide

---

21. Key Benefits for Machine Builders

Reduced Motion Cycle Time

The low-inertia motor design allows the servo system to change speed rapidly.

For high-cycle machinery, even small improvements in acceleration and deceleration can contribute to improved overall production efficiency.

Accurate Positioning

High-resolution absolute feedback allows the control system to monitor actual shaft movement with high detail.

This is valuable for indexing, registration, cutting and synchronized machine operations.

Holding Capability

The integrated 24 V DC brake adds an important mechanical holding function.

This is especially useful for selected vertical-axis and positioning applications.

Flexible Installation

The rotatable right-angle connector makes cable installation easier in compact machine structures.

Industrial Servo Performance

The motor is designed specifically for closed-loop motion control rather than basic fixed-speed motor operation.

---

22. Important Engineering Considerations

Before selecting this motor for a new machine, the following factors should be calculated rather than selected solely from the motor nameplate.

Load Torque

The continuous load torque should remain within the motor’s continuous operating capability.

Peak Torque

Acceleration, deceleration and shock loads can require significantly more torque than the normal running torque.

Load Inertia

The inertia ratio between the motor and driven load has a major effect on servo tuning and dynamic response.

Speed

The machine’s required operating speed should be compared with the motor’s rated and allowable speed range.

Duty Cycle

A motor operating continuously at a high load may have very different thermal requirements from a motor operating intermittently.

Brake Requirement

The integrated brake should be evaluated based on the actual load-holding requirement.

Mechanical Coupling

The keyless shaft requires a compatible coupling arrangement.

Feedback Compatibility

The absolute multi-turn feedback system must be compatible with the selected servo drive.

Cable Routing

The right-angle connector requires adequate rear clearance and appropriate cable routing.

---

23. Maintenance Considerations

Servo motors generally require less routine mechanical maintenance than many conventional mechanically commutated motors, but proper installation and operating conditions remain important.

Important maintenance checks include:

• Motor mounting bolts
• Coupling alignment
• Shaft loading
• Connector condition
• Feedback cable condition
• Power cable condition
• Brake operation
• Excessive vibration
• Abnormal motor temperature
• Unusual bearing noise
• Encoder feedback errors
• Cable-track movement
• Mechanical backlash

The motor should be kept free from conditions that exceed its specified environmental limits.

---

24. Common Reasons for Choosing the MK74AA Configuration

The MK74AA configuration is particularly attractive when the application requires the following combination:

460 VAC + 165 mm frame + 152.4 mm stack + 3000 rpm + absolute multi-turn feedback + keyless shaft + 24 V DC holding brake.

This combination provides a useful balance between motor capacity, response characteristics, feedback performance and mechanical holding capability.

For equipment manufacturers, the brake can also reduce the need to install a separate motor-side holding mechanism, although the overall machine safety architecture must still be evaluated independently.

27. Final Product Assessment

The MPL-B560F-MK74AA is a high-performance industrial servo motor designed for applications where speed, positioning accuracy, repeatability and dynamic response are important.

Its 165 mm frame, 152.4 mm magnetic stack, 3000 rpm rated speed, approximately 26.8 N·m torque, high-resolution absolute multi-turn feedback, and 24 V DC holding brake make it particularly suitable for demanding automated machinery.

The integrated brake is one of the most valuable features of this specific configuration. It gives the machine designer an additional shaft-holding option without changing the fundamental low-inertia servo architecture.

The motor is especially well suited to packaging machinery, indexing systems, automated assembly equipment, material handling, machine tools, printing and converting equipment, rotary tables and other industrial motion applications.

When replacing an existing motor, the most important point is to match the complete model number, not merely the MPL series or 165 mm frame size. The suffix can determine important characteristics such as feedback, connector, shaft configuration and brake.

For engineering selection, the motor should also be evaluated together with its servo drive, controller, feedback cable, power cable, mechanical coupling, load inertia, duty cycle and braking requirements.

Overall, the MPL-B560F-MK74AA is best described as a 165 mm-frame, 460 VAC, 3000 rpm, low-inertia brushless servo motor with high-resolution absolute multi-turn feedback, keyless shaft, rotatable right-angle connector and integrated 24 V DC holding brake, intended for precision industrial motion-control applications.
