Product Description:

The AKM12E-BNCN2-00 is a brushless servo motor manufactured by Kollmorgen within the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In automated pick-and-place stations, labeling heads, and miniature test fixtures, the unit delivers closed-loop torque and velocity so that linear slides or rotary tables reach commanded positions with high repeatability. By integrating permanent-magnet rotor technology with an optical feedback device, the motor serves as a compact actuator that reduces mechanical backlash and improves positional accuracy during high-cycle industrial processes.

Electrical termination is handled through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, a keyed interface that supports secure cable connection and shielding continuity. The mechanical assembly ships without a brake, so external clamping or holding torque must be provided when power is removed. Position information comes from a Comcoder, which combines incremental channels for velocity control with commutation tracks for sinusoidal drive phasing. This single-turn optical sensor generates 2048 lines/rev, yielding 8,192 counts after quadrature decoding and enabling smooth low-speed regulation. The identifier EPC 15T further specifies the encoder pattern so the drive can recognize feedback polarity at startup.

Mounting follows the NEMA flange configuration, letting the motor fit legacy stepper brackets without adapter plates. The face width of 40 mm supports tight center-to-center spacing in multi-axis clusters, and the rotor length index of 2 balances continuous torque with thermal rise. A smooth shaft is supplied, allowing rigid couplers or small timing pulleys to be fitted without keyway tooling. Electrical characteristics are assigned to winding e, aligning the resistance and inductance with low-voltage bus drives. Built at the standard customization level, the motor allows OEM-specific cabling, sealing, or paint options without changing its core operating characteristics.
