Product Description:
The AKM42J-AND2GF-00 is a rotary actuator produced by Kollmorgen as part of the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In an automation cell, the motor couples to a drive that regulates current and position, allowing machines to index, follow a programmed trajectory, or hold a fixed angle under load. Its mechanical format and feedback interface support direct integration into motion stages and small-to-medium robot joints that require accurate, repeatable rotation.
Motion control is supported by a 24 V holding brake, which clamps the shaft whenever power is removed so suspended or loaded axes remain stationary. Power, signal, and brake conductors are combined in a single i-tec Hybrid or SpeedTec Ready Hybrid connector, minimizing wiring and simplifying installation. Position data reaches the drive through a HIPERFACE DSL encoder that supplies a base resolution of 128 lines per revolution; the drive interpolates these lines for high-bandwidth servo loops. The encoder is installed behind an IEC flange with accuracy class N, maintaining alignment between the sensing elements and the motor’s mechanical reference. A rotor length index of 2 balances the magnetic stack length and rotor inertia, supporting responsive acceleration without requiring a larger frame.
The encoder provides multi-turn optical position feedback, allowing absolute position to be retained across 4,096 revolutions without an external battery. This capability corresponds to the EKM36 feedback type referenced in the model code. The compact 84 mm frame size fits standard IEC 80 gearbox mounts while providing adequate surface area for continuous heat dissipation. A smooth shaft supports connection to low-backlash clamping hubs without requiring a keyed coupling. The factory-installed J winding designation indicates the resistance and inductance values used by compatible drives operating within the 400 V class of the AKD platform. These electrical values allow the connected drive to regulate current correctly during acceleration, steady-speed operation, and position holding. The connector arrangement also consolidates motor power, encoder communication, and brake wiring into one connection point, reducing the number of separate cable routes required around a moving axis.
