Product Description:

The AKM13C-ANCN1-01 servo motor is produced by Kollmorgen and belongs to the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In industrial automation, it serves as a compact rotary actuator that converts controlled current from a matched drive into precise torque and speed for indexing tables, pick-and-place heads, and small conveyors. Its part code places it in a compact motor platform intended for accurate positioning where available mounting space is limited. The motor is suited to applications that need responsive motion and repeatable shaft control without a large mechanical footprint.

The mechanical interface uses a 40 mm frame size, which helps the motor fit compact machine sections and small gearheads. Power and signal leads connect through two SpeedTec Ready connectors, so the keyed plugs can be attached quickly and locked in place without separate tools. The stator uses winding code C, and rotor length index 3 provides additional stack height for continuous torque in this frame. Motion feedback is provided by a Comcoder device with 1024 lines/rev of incremental resolution, giving the drive the position data needed for closed-loop operation. This feedback unit is a single-turn optical device, so absolute position can be recovered within one revolution during startup. The motor also uses a smooth shaft, which is appropriate for clamp-style couplings and avoids the stress concentration associated with a keyed output.

The motor is supplied without a brake, so any holding torque during power loss must come from the drive or from external machine hardware. A front design with a shaft seal helps keep contaminants away from the bearing area when the motor is mounted near gear reducers or exposed moving parts. The unit also uses an IEC flange with accuracy N, which supports proper centering on compatible mounting surfaces. For drive compatibility, the feedback channel is identified as EPC 15T, which supports correct feedback selection in matching Kollmorgen controls. The shaft seal and feedback identification are useful on compact servo axes that place the motor close to machine surfaces and require recognized feedback data at the drive.
