Product Description:

The AKM23C-BNBN2-01 is a compact synchronous servo motor produced by Kollmorgen as part of the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. The unit is designed for precision positioning and velocity control in automated machinery, providing the electromechanical interface between the servo amplifier and the driven load. It fits packaging lines, pick-and-place carts, and laboratory equipment where small frame size and accurate feedback are important.

Mechanical integration is simplified by the NEMA flange, allowing the motor to bolt to standardized U.S. mount patterns. The square frame width measures 58 mm, giving a modest footprint for confined panels. Connection points consist of 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors; their quarter-turn collars shorten cabling time while maintaining secure retention. With rotor length index 3, the active stack depth increases torque without substantially raising inertia, supporting moderate load acceleration. Internally, a Comcoder combines incremental optics with Hall tracks and furnishes position data at 2048 lines/rev. This resolution permits fine velocity loops and sub-arcminute positioning when interpolated by the drive.

The feedback chain is completed by the single-turn, optical absolute track, eliminating multi-turn gearing and simplifying power-up alignment. Position words are transmitted in EPC 15T format, which is supported by Kollmorgen controls. A smooth shaft eases clamp coupling and minimizes backlash, and a shaft seal blocks lubricant migration along the shaft journal. Because the motor ships without a brake, static holding must be provided by the machine if loss-of-power retention is required. The winding code C identifies the resistance, inductance, and voltage constant used by matched AKD amplifiers, so the electromagnetic parameters match the torque and speed range of this rotor length.
