Danaher Motion Intros Kollmorgen AKM Motors

November 30, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Danaher Motion (Radford, VA) introduced its new Kollmorgen AKM servo motors, which offer an advanced electromagnetic design with a global feature set to satisfy a broad range of motor application requirements. The motors are UL, cUL, and TUV listed, and carry the CE mark.

The Kollmorgen AKM motors are available in more than 12,000 standard offerings. The AKM motors are wound with non-overlapping coils, reducing the potential for phase-to-phase shorting. Kollmorgen AKM assemblies are potted and IP65 sealed to provide rugged durability in harsh applications. The motors can be coupled with a Kollmorgen S200, S300 or S600 servo drive for a complete, fully optimized servo solution.

The Kollmorgen AKM motors are available in seven frame sizes with 25 stack/frame combinations, 77 standard windings and 19 different mounting patterns. They are available with multiple connectivity and feedback options, as well as shaft seals and integral brakes. The motors feature a continuous torque range from 0.2Nm to 53Nm and can provide speeds to 8,000rpm. Size 1 (40mm square) Kollmorgen AKM motors are insulated for 240Vac, with windings configured for low-voltage dc, 120Vac or 240Vac operation. All other Kollmorgen AKM Series motors are insulated for 480Vac with winding options for low-voltage dc, 120Vac, 240Vac, 400Vac or 480Vac systems.
