Product Description:

The AKM23F-BSCN2-02 is a servo motor produced by Kollmorgen within the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for tightly controlled rotary positioning and velocity tasks inside automated machinery, where compact form factors and standardized mounting simplify axis design. By combining a rare-earth magnet rotor with a stator optimized for low inertia, the motor offers rapid torque response for pick-and-place tables, packaging units, and small gantries. It can be used on compact axes where quick reversals, short moves, and repeatable stop positions are important to overall machine performance.

The motor’s frame dimension is 58 mm, giving the housing a compact cross-section for machine integration, while the NEMA flange allows direct attachment to gearboxes or mounting plates that follow U.S. dimensional standards. It is supplied without a brake, so holding torque during power-off must be provided externally. Power and feedback cables terminate on 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, which use keyed quarter-turn locking for secure attachment. The stator uses winding designation F, which matches the voltage constant and current demand to compatible drives sized for medium bus voltages. A special shaft detail supports application-specific couplings, and the rotor length index of 3 helps balance peak torque with axial space.

The feedback chain centers on a resolution of 2048 lines/rev, producing 8192 counts per revolution after quadrature decoding for precise velocity loops and repeatable position updates. Its Comcoder sensor combines an optical code disk with Hall tracks to provide commutation and motion feedback in one package. The single-turn, optical architecture avoids multi-turn gearing, which helps keep rotating inertia low and simplifies the sensing arrangement. Signal formatting follows the EPC 15T style, so the drive expects differential RS-422 channels with a 5 V supply. This arrangement supports accurate low-speed control and stable settling after small command changes.
