The Kollmorgen VLM Brushless Motors series is a family of value-line brushless servo motors designed to provide standard servo performance in a cost-conscious package.
The series includes VLM2 and VLM3 frame groups with NEMA and metric mounting options, multiple shaft styles, and feedback choices that include halls, resolver, encoder, and Smart Feedback Device. Across the range, the motors are intended for use with 120/240 Vac servo drive systems, offer winding options optimized for 75, 160, and 320 Vdc bus levels, and support rated speeds up to 6,000 rpm. The smaller VLM2 motors provide up to about 1.2 N·m continuous torque and 4.2 N·m peak torque, while the larger VLM3 motors extend that range to about 4.5 N·m continuous and 15.9 N·m peak. The series is intended for machine designs that need compact brushless servo motors with flexible mounting, standard feedback options, and direct connection choices for Kollmorgen drive platforms.
