Product Description:
The AKM42S-GCSN2-02 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Kollmorgen and supplied under the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for closed-loop motion axes where tight position and velocity regulation are required, such as pick-and-place gantries or packaging stations. By coupling the rotor to a precision drive and sending feedback to a matching controller, the unit converts electrical commands into repeatable rotary movement for industrial automation tasks. This arrangement allows the controller to correct motion in response to changing loads while maintaining the commanded speed or position.
The motor’s feedback circuit has a resolution of 2048 lines/rev and reports absolute shaft position through a Comcoder interface. The sensing element uses a single-turn optical design, so the controller receives a unique position value within each shaft revolution without relying on multi-turn counting. Signal formatting follows the EPC 15T protocol, allowing direct compatibility with suitable Kollmorgen drives. Electrical terminations use a special connector arrangement that simplifies machine wiring and keeps the power and feedback connections organized. The motor is supplied without a brake, which reduces axial length and rotor inertia when mechanical holding torque is not required during a powered-down state.
An alternative flange variant G gives the frame a mounting face that differs from the standard version, while the body has an 84 mm square width that fits within size 4 enclosures. The magnetic stack uses rotor length index 2, providing torque capacity for mid-range duties without unnecessary mass. Output power is transferred through a shaft machined with a keyway, ensuring positive engagement with couplings or pulleys and reducing the likelihood of rotational slip under load. The motor also uses a special winding that adjusts the voltage constant for drives operating at nonstandard DC bus levels. These mounting, shaft, and winding characteristics support installation in equipment that requires a different mechanical interface or electrical configuration from the standard motor arrangement.
