Product Description:

The AKM23D-ACBNC-00 servo motor is manufactured by Kollmorgen and belongs to the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Within an automation cell, it acts as the electromechanical actuator that translates drive commands into controlled rotation for indexing tables, gantry axes, or light conveying duties. Its compact form helps the motor fit into machinery where space is limited but precise motion is still required. The motor is intended for closed-loop operation, where the drive continuously adjusts output to maintain commanded speed and position.

This model is supplied without a brake, so stopping torque must be provided by the drive or by external mechanical holding when power is removed. Power, feedback, and protective earth are routed through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors; the keyed bayonet design secures the plugs against vibration and supports fast cable attachment. An IEC with accuracy N flange aligns the pilot with standard gearboxes and helps maintain accurate coupling during installation. The housing width is 58 mm, which supports a compact mounting envelope and provides a direct thermal path between the stator and the machine frame. A shaft machined with a keyway transmits torque directly into pulleys or couplings and helps prevent slip during bidirectional acceleration.

The feedback package uses single-turn inductive feedback, which closes the servo loop with coarse absolute position after power-up while allowing high-resolution interpolation during motion. Signal transmission uses 4 lines connected to the drive’s SFD interface, which removes the need for auxiliary encoder wiring. The motor uses Rotor length index 3, which provides more active material than shorter motors in the same frame. Its electrical characteristics are set by winding designation D, matching the motor to mid-range bus voltages and inverter currents used on general-purpose servo drives. This arrangement supports stable feedback processing and predictable torque production during routine axis movement.
