Product Description:

The AKM13C-BNMN1-00 is a brushless servo motor manufactured by Kollmorgen for the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. This compact rotary unit converts electrical energy into controlled torque and speed so motion axes in assembly robots, test fixtures, and miniature gantries can follow precise position commands with repeatable response. Its small housing is suited to direct mounting on light-duty stages and other compact mechanisms where installation space is limited. The motor is intended for closed-loop automation tasks that need accurate starts, stops, and short positioning moves. That operating role makes it suitable for equipment that must fit responsive servo performance into a very small mounting area.

Position feedback is provided by a Comcoder encoder that generates 1024 lines/rev, delivering quadrature signals suitable for mid-resolution servo loops. Because the device uses a single-turn optical sensor, it reports absolute rotor angle within one revolution without requiring a homing cycle after power loss. A NEMA flange format simplifies coupling to gearboxes and supports alignment with standard pilot diameters, while the 40 mm frame size keeps the motor footprint small in densely packed multi-axis assemblies. The standard configuration supports straightforward integration where compact packaging and consistent feedback are both important.

The mechanical interface uses a smooth shaft, allowing force-fit couplings or clamp hubs that help limit backlash in small axis linkages. Internally, the stator carries a C winding, a designation associated with the voltage-to-speed gradient used by compatible Kollmorgen drives at rated current. Performance scaling also reflects Rotor length index 3, which corresponds to the active stack height and the motor’s continuous torque capability. Feedback electronics use the EPC 15T code wheel, supporting signal integrity at high rpm and matching the electronic interpolation used by the drive during closed-loop operation. This arrangement supports stable speed control and repeatable position correction during rapid direction changes.
