Product Description:

The AKM22E-CKS22-03 is a brushless servo motor produced by Kollmorgen as part of the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It serves as a rotary actuator that translates drive commands into precise shaft positioning, speed regulation, and torque control for automated packaging lines, gantry axes, and light robotics. The motor’s compact frame and low inertia suit rapid start-stop duty cycles, and its integration with Kollmorgen drives allows deterministic current regulation for repeatable motion profiles in industrial automation. This operating role makes it suitable for axes that require fast response and stable low-speed control during repeated indexing.

A 24 V holding brake locks the rotor when the machine is idle, maintaining load position without external clamps. High-resolution feedback is supplied by the 2048 lines/rev encoder that works with a Comcoder sensor module to provide incremental and absolute position data. This sensor is built as a single-turn optical device, so multi-turn tracking is handled in the controller. The motor uses alternative flange variant C, which shifts bolt patterns to match legacy servo mounts while preserving concentricity around the 58 mm frame. Mechanical power transfer occurs through an open keyway shaft, ensuring positive drive coupling without reliance on friction fits. The flange and shaft arrangement support direct coupling to driven elements in compact machine spaces.

Cabling is routed via a special connector arrangement that orients power and signal plugs to clear tight machine spaces. Inside the stator, winding designation e identifies the wire gauge and turn count, aligning resistance and inductance with medium-voltage servo amplifiers. The rotor uses length class 2, balancing torque density with thermal dissipation for continuous operation. Position transduction is provided by the feedback type EPC 15T, an optical code wheel that matches the drive’s interpolation algorithms. This connector orientation helps separate cable paths from nearby guards, brackets, and moving machine parts.
