Product Description:

The AKM23C-ANCN2-01 is a compact synchronous servo motor manufactured by Kollmorgen for the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In industrial automation, it provides rapid and repeatable rotary motion for axes that must follow electronic gearing or interpolation from a drive controller. The motor is suited to assembly cells, inspection stages, and light material-handling equipment where high dynamic response is required within limited installation space. Its combination of precision feedback and application-specific mounting options supports seamless integration with modern digital servo amplifiers. This layout also works well in compact machine sections where moving mass and cable routing must be kept under control.

It is delivered without a brake, so stopping energy must be managed by the drive or an external latch rather than by an internal holding device. Power and feedback are routed through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, an arrangement that shortens wiring time and maintains vibration-resistant terminations. Position data is supplied by a Comcoder that delivers 2048 lines/rev of incremental resolution. The device is a single-turn optical encoder built on the EPC 15T code wheel, giving direct digital feedback for fine velocity control. A class-C winding set balances copper fill with thermal limits to suit medium-current drives. For the mechanical interface, the motor uses an IEC flange with accuracy N, which provides consistent pilot and bolt-circle tolerances across compatible brackets or gearheads.

A fitted shaft seal helps keep oil mist and particulates out of the stator cavity when the motor is coupled to gearboxes. Rotation is transferred through a smooth shaft, simplifying alignment in applications that rely on compression collets or clamp hubs. A compact 58 mm frame width combined with rotor length index 3 gives the motor moderate inertia that supports fast acceleration without excessive current demand. The compact housing also helps when the axis must fit beside sensors, guards, or other closely spaced machine components. Placing the motor closer to the driven load can help reduce external inertia in the mechanical train.
