Allen Bradley MPL-B330F-M-X224 Servo Motor

Industrial Linear Motion Applications

The MPL-B330F-M-X224 is primarily intended for replacement applications in MP-Series electric cylinders. It is suitable for industrial equipment where an existing electric actuator requires a replacement motor while maintaining the original mechanical configuration.

Typical applications include:

• Electric cylinder assemblies
• Automated linear positioning systems
• Packaging machinery
• Automated assembly equipment
• Material handling systems
• Pick-and-place equipment
• Pressing and clamping mechanisms
• Linear indexing systems
• Machine automation equipment
• Production-line positioning
• Industrial actuator systems
• MP-Series electric-cylinder maintenance

The integrated 24 V DC brake makes this configuration especially useful where the actuator needs to maintain its mechanical position when the servo motor is not actively producing torque.

Key Performance Advantages

Dedicated Electric-Cylinder Replacement Design
The MPL-B330F-M-X224 is specifically configured as a replacement motor for compatible MP-Series electric cylinders. Its mechanical characteristics should therefore be considered together with the actuator rather than as an independent rotary motor.

400 V Class Configuration
The motor belongs to the 400 V class of MP-Series electric-cylinder replacement motors, providing compatibility with the corresponding high-voltage actuator configurations.

63 mm Frame Size
The 63 mm frame provides the mechanical form factor required for the associated MPAR-B3xxxE electric-cylinder family.

10 mm/rev Pitch Compatibility
The motor is matched to a 10 mm/rev pitch configuration. Maintaining this pitch relationship is important because the motor-to-ball-screw ratio directly affects the resulting linear travel.

24 V DC Holding Brake
The X224 version incorporates a 24 V DC brake. The brake can hold the actuator position when the motor is not actively controlling movement, making it valuable for vertical or load-holding applications.

Multi-Turn High-Resolution Feedback
The motor uses multi-turn high-resolution feedback to provide detailed position information to the motion-control system.

Maintenance-Friendly Replacement Configuration
Because the model is specified as an electric-cylinder replacement motor, it can simplify maintenance of compatible MP-Series actuator installations where the existing motor needs replacement.
