03Related part numbers
MPL-B540K family: keyed or keyless, with or without brake
These catalogue numbers share the 165 mm frame, magnet stack and 4,000 rpm winding of MPL-B540K-MK74AA. They differ in shaft, brake, connector or feedback. A motor with the wrong shaft or no brake will not drop into the same machine, so match every position.
| Catalogue number | Shaft | Brake | Connector | Feedback | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MPL-B540K-MK74AA | Keyless (smooth) shaft | 24 v dc holding brake | SpeedTEC | Multi-turn absolute | This part (in stock) |
| MPL-B540K-MJ72AA | Keyed shaft | No brake | SpeedTEC | Multi-turn absolute | Same family |
| MPL-B540K-MJ74AA | Keyed shaft | 24 v dc holding brake | SpeedTEC | Multi-turn absolute | Same family |
| MPL-B540K-MK72AA | Keyless (smooth) shaft | No brake | SpeedTEC | Multi-turn absolute | Same family |
| MPL-B540K-MK24AA | Keyless (smooth) shaft | 24 v dc holding brake | Bayonet | Multi-turn absolute | Bayonet-connector version |
| MPL-B540K-SK74AA | Keyless (smooth) shaft | 24 v dc holding brake | SpeedTEC | Single-turn absolute | Other feedback type |

04Drives and cables
Drives and cables used with MPL-B540K-MK74AA
Rockwell's compatibility tables list MPL motors with Kinetix 300, 350, 2000, 5100, 5300, 5500, 5700, 6000, 6200 and 6500 drives. Older machines often run MPL motors on Ultra3000 drives. The drive must be configured for this exact motor catalogue number, and some newer drives need a feedback converter for Hiperface motors; check the drive manual.
This motor has SpeedTEC connectors, so it takes the SpeedTEC cable families listed here.
The 24 V DC brake must be released by the drive or machine circuit before the motor turns.
- Power cable: 2090-CPBM7DF or 2090-CPWM7DF series
- Feedback cable: 2090-CFBM7DF or 2090-CFBM7DD series
- Continuous-flex versions for cable chains
- Feedback: multi-turn absolute encoder, read by the drive at power-up

06Before you order
Check these on your old motor's nameplate
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Full catalogue number, including the last four characters | Shaft, connector and brake are coded at the end. Two motors that differ in those positions are not interchangeable. |
| Series letter (for example Ser. A, B) | Later series can differ in details; we confirm before you order. |
| Voltage class (A or B) | A 230 V motor on a 460 V drive, or the reverse, will not work. |
| Feedback type | The drive is set up for one feedback type. Multi-turn and single-turn are not interchangeable without changing the configuration. |
| Brake | A vertical or loaded axis needs the brake to hold position when power is off. |
