Product Description:

The AKM21C-ANS2GB-03 servo motor is produced by Kollmorgen within the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a compact rotary actuator, it delivers precise speed and position control for automated machinery that relies on closed-loop feedback. The unit converts drive commands into repeatable torque on light-duty axes, supporting pick-and-place, labeling, and indexing stations in packaging and electronic assembly lines where fast cycle times and accurate positioning are required.

A factory-mounted 24 V holding brake keeps the load fixed during power loss or vertical dwell periods. Motion data are captured by a HIPERFACE encoder coupled to an optical disc that carries 128 lines per revolution; after interpolation, this resolution supports fine incremental positioning. The encoder also records absolute position across multiple turns through its multi-turn optical design, eliminating the need for homing after shutdowns. A compact housing with a 58 mm frame dimension enables the motor to fit tight machine envelopes, and the rotor length index of 1 balances torque output with low inertia for responsive speed transitions. A special connector arrangement routes power and feedback leads through a single keyed plug, keeping cable connections compact.

The SKM series sensing head identified as SKM36 supplies the electrical interface that communicates position and speed data back to the servo drive. Mechanical mounting follows an IEC flange with accuracy N, allowing direct installation on metric gearboxes and bearing blocks. Power is transferred through a smooth shaft, which minimizes runout when clamped with zero-backlash couplings. Thermal characteristics and current draw correspond to the designated C winding, allowing the motor to be matched with an appropriate drive for the expected duty cycle.
