Product Description:

Kollmorgen manufactures the AKM42E-EKC2DB-00, a motor in the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. The model is intended for closed-loop motion tasks in industrial automation such as packaging axes, pick-and-place gantries, and indexing tables. Its electromechanical design allows direct coupling to a compatible servo drive, delivering accurate torque and position control for repetitive duty cycles in machinery. The compact frame helps simplify machine layout while maintaining the torque density associated with the AKM line.

The AKM42E-EKC2DB-00 includes a 24 V holding brake, enabling the axis to maintain position during power-off states and vertical loads. Electrical and feedback terminations use 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, allowing toolless setup with keyed collars. Closed-loop control relies on an optical encoder that outputs 512/2048 lines/rev, providing resolution for velocity control and precision positioning tasks. The sensing element uses the EnDAT 2.1 encoder protocol, allowing bidirectional digital communication for parameter storage and diagnostics. Its counting mechanism is optical multi-turn, so absolute position is preserved across revolutions without battery backup. The rotor length index of 2 corresponds to the active iron stack thickness and matches the torque class used for mid-range loads in the product line.

The feedback head carries the EQN1125/1325 code, which matches compatible drive feedback settings. Overall width is governed by the 84 mm frame dimension, letting the unit fit into compact machine modules or retrofit footprints shared across the AKM range. Torque is transmitted through an open keyway shaft, so the motor can use standard keyed couplings without separate machining. The winding designated e sets the voltage constant and rated speed pairing for drives in 230 V class systems.
