Product Description:

The AKM42G-BKC2C-00 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Kollmorgen as part of the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. This motor supplies precise torque and speed control for indexing tables, pick-and-place stations, and other closed-loop automation axes. It connects to electronic drives that translate commanded currents into rapid rotor motion so loads can be positioned accurately during demanding production cycles. Its synchronous design also supports repeatable starts, stops, and speed changes in compact automated equipment.

This model is built on a frame dimension of 84 mm, and the compact cross-section fits into tight mechanical envelopes while still providing winding space for the G stator designation. A NEMA flange simplifies bolt-pattern alignment with standardized gearboxes and mounting brackets. Wiring is completed through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, which allow quick, keyed coupling and help reduce installation errors. An open keyway on the shaft transmits torque by helping prevent rotational slip between the motor and the coupled load. Rotor length index 2 balances torque output against inertia, and the standard customization level means the motor is supplied in a standard factory configuration without application-specific modifications.

The electromechanical options focus on feedback and braking. A 24 V holding brake locks the rotor when power is removed, which supports vertical or safety-critical axes. Position data comes from an SFD single-turn, inductive encoder that delivers 4 lines of differential signals, offering digital feedback without optical components that can be affected by dust. The feedback size is listed as Size 10/15/21, which matches standard drive connectors for that signal family. The encoder supports closed-loop position control, while the brake helps prevent unintended movement during idle periods or emergency stops.
