Microsteeping drives replace clutch and brake
High performance microstepping drives feature start and stop inputs making them an ideal low maintenance alternative to conventional clutch/brake solutions.
Digital brushless drives offer simplified tuning
Believed to be the first all digital industrial drives with a velocity loop bandwidth up to 800Hz, brushless servos offer increased system throughput and simplified tuning.
This allows OEMs to reduce their overall machine size while increasing machine throughput and reliability.
The motors are wound with non-overlapping coils, dramatically reducing the potential for phase-to-phase shorting.
Kollmorgen AKM assemblies are potted and IP65 sealed to provide rugged durability in harsh applications.
These motors can be coupled with a Kollmorgen S200, S300 or S600 servo drive for a complete, fully optimized servo solution.
Kollmorgen AKM motors feature a unique electromagnetic design for extremely smooth performance without skewing the rotor or stator.
These motors also feature balanced electromagnetics, eliminating the side forces and vibration common to competitive motors that employ unbalanced magnetic designs.
Kollmorgen AKM motors are available in 7 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.
These motors feature a continuous torque range from 0.2 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, 120V AC or 240V AC operation.
All other Kollmorgen AKM series motors are insulated for 480V AC with winding options for low voltage DC, 120V AC, 240V AC, 400V AC or 480V AC systems.
Standardized high-voltage insulation provides maximum design flexibility and robust motor operation across applications.
