Product Description:

The AKM12C-ANCNC-00 is a brushless servo motor produced by Kollmorgen in the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for closed-loop motion axes in packaging machines, pick-and-place modules, and other automated equipment that need precise torque and velocity control. Coupled with a digital drive, the motor converts electrical energy into controlled rotary motion and provides high positional fidelity for coordinated multi-axis systems. This operating profile suits machines that require repeatable starts, stops, and speed changes during normal servo operation.

The motor is supplied without a brake, so load holding must be handled by the drive or by external mechanical hardware. Power and feedback connect through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors that lock with a quarter turn and simplify wiring in compact installations. Its square housing uses a 40 mm frame dimension, allowing it to mount directly to compact gearboxes and small machine assemblies. A smooth shaft works well with clamp-style couplings for direct torque transmission. The winding designation C corresponds to the electrical values used with compatible AKD drives. The customization level is standard, so the motor uses the baseline mechanical and electrical configuration for this model.

Position data are handled by the SFD sensor platform, which combines encoder and Hall functions in one module. It transmits 4 lines of differential signals, giving the drive both commutation data and incremental position information without separate auxiliary connectors. The sensing element is a single-turn, inductive device, so it tolerates dust and oil that can interfere with optical feedback systems. Its mechanical interface follows Size 10/15/21, allowing the same feedback cartridge format to be used across other motors of similar size. Because the sensing functions are integrated into one package, the rear section of the motor stays compact and cable routing remains straightforward.
