Product Description:

The AKM43L-BKC2AB-00 belongs to the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series manufactured by Kollmorgen. This servo motor is used on positioning axes and tension-controlled drives that require quick acceleration, stable velocity regulation, and repeatable accuracy through long operating periods. When it is paired with a digital drive controller, it delivers commanded torque in real time for coordinated motion between mechanical stations in automated machinery. Its operating profile suits applications that need responsive starts, smooth speed control, and consistent motion during continuous production. This makes it suitable for web handling, indexing, and synchronized transfer tasks where axis response must remain predictable from cycle to cycle.

A built-in 24 V holding brake locks the shaft when power is removed, so vertical loads can remain stationary without external clamping. Power and feedback lines are routed through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors, a keyed arrangement that simplifies cable connection and helps prevent wiring errors. Rotor angle is returned to the controller by a BiSS B encoder that generates 2,048 lines per revolution, giving fine native resolution before drive interpolation. Position data is retained after power loss because the reader uses multi-turn optical counting. Winding designation L indicates the current limits and continuous torque rating, and rotor length index 3 indicates the magnetic stack height used for this frame.

A NEMA flange pattern mates directly with common planetary gearboxes and right-angle reducers, and the housing width of 84 mm fits industry-standard mounting spaces. The shaft uses an open keyway to transmit torque through single-slot hub couplings instead of relying only on friction fits. Feedback cabling uses the AD34/AD58 connector pinout for compatibility across multiple motor sizes. An internal skew minimizes cogging so the motor can run smoothly at low speed in vision-guided pick-and-place heads and other axes that need steady motion near zero speed. The compact face size also supports installation where neighboring components limit available mounting area.
