Product Description:

The AKM23D-BNCNR-00 servo motor is built by Kollmorgen as part of the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series for use in compact automation axes, pick-and-place heads, and light material-handling modules. As a permanent-magnet synchronous unit, it converts drive current from a matched amplifier into precise rotary motion that can be tightly regulated in both position and velocity. The motor’s purpose in industrial automation is to supply consistent torque within a small frame so that machines achieve repeatable cycle times and maintain product quality. Closed-loop operation helps the axis respond to changing loads while maintaining commanded motion.

Electrically, the motor is supplied without a brake, so static holding duties must be managed by servo control or external locking hardware. Power and feedback leave the housing through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, which help simplify cable connections. Rotor position is detected by a resolver, and the feedback system uses 2 poles for position sensing. The unit has a standard customization level for general-purpose applications. A NEMA flange mates directly to motion stages common in North American equipment, and the square body width is only 58 mm, allowing tight side-by-side installation inside compact machine frames.

A smooth shaft minimizes particulate retention and accepts clamp or compression couplings when backlash must be limited. The active magnetic stack follows rotor length index 3, which balances torque output against inertia for rapid acceleration in short-stroke cycles. Electrical behavior is tuned by winding designation D, aligning phase resistance and inductance for mid-range bus voltages used on the AKD drive platform. Position data is absolute over one revolution through single-turn inductive sensing, and the feedback head belongs to size 10/15/21, a compact format that conserves envelope depth without compromising vibration tolerance. This layout supports compact machine designs that need low backlash and stable feedback.
