Product Description:

The AKM42G-EKCN2-00 is a rotary servo motor manufactured by Kollmorgen for the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In automated lines, it operates as a closed-loop drive element that delivers commanded torque and position to a mechanical axis, allowing coordinated motion with millisecond response times. Its synchronous design lets the drive regulate speed and position with stable response during start-stop cycles and short indexing moves. The motor belongs to the 42 frame class and uses the internal G winding, pairing with matched AKD drives so mid-voltage bus levels can reach the rated speed range needed for material handling, light machining, and indexing equipment.

The stator stack is housed in a body that measures 84 mm across the mounting face, giving a compact footprint for tight machine layouts. Position feedback is carried by a Comcoder that outputs 2048 lines per revolution, enabling interpolated resolution well below one arc minute. The device and the drive exchange signals through two SpeedTec Ready connectors, and the keyed design shortens cable changes in modular machines. This connector arrangement keeps power and feedback connections organized at the motor body, which helps maintain clean routing in compact machine assemblies. Because the motor is supplied without a brake, load holding must be provided by the drive or by external mechanics when power is removed. The housing supports the thermal load for this rotor length, so continuous torque is maintained without forced cooling.

Signal integrity is supported by the encoder's single-turn optical structure, and its protocol is identified as EPC 15T for direct recognition by compatible Kollmorgen controllers. This feedback arrangement supports accurate commutation and repeatable positioning during reversals and low-speed operation. The shaft exits the front bearing with an open keyway profile, allowing rigid coupling to timing pulleys or gear hubs. At the factory, this unit is built to the standard customization level, so its mechanical options follow the baseline configuration. Its short rotor construction also keeps inertia compatible with high-bandwidth loops when command profiles include rapid speed reversals.
