Product Description:

Kollmorgen produces the AKM64L-KKCNLB00, a servo motor in the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. The unit is installed as a rotary actuator in automated pick-and-place stations, indexing tables, and packaging axes, where precise torque and position control are required for repeatable machine cycles. Its compact housing, matched rotor-stator set, and integrated feedback device allow the drive to follow motion profiles generated by a controller without mechanical transmission slack, supporting high acceleration and short settling times. This layout makes the motor suitable for applications that require frequent starts, stops, and rapid direction changes during continuous production.

The motor uses a 138 mm frame, giving it a mounting face compatible with larger AKM gearheads and couplings. Inside the stator, copper arranged for the L winding designation provides resistance and inductance values suited to medium-voltage drives. Power and sensor leads exit through 2 SpeedTec Ready connectors; the keyed quarter-turn fittings help simplify cable attachment and reduce wiring mistakes. Shaft torque is transferred through an open keyway, providing a positive locking interface to pulleys or couplings. The motor has length index 4, which increases active iron without changing the flange pattern, and it is supplied without a brake, so load holding must be handled by the drive or an external mechanical lock.

For position feedback, the motor relies on an EnDAT 2.1 encoder that communicates digitally with the servo drive. The sensing hardware follows the EQI1130/1331 format, combining incremental tracks with absolute word transmission for seamless homing. Its scanning system is multi-turn inductive, storing shaft revolutions without batteries and tolerating magnetic fields that can disturb optical devices. Resolution choices of 16/32 lines per rev are available to balance controller bandwidth with network traffic. This gives the control system flexibility for either faster velocity updates or finer positional granularity, depending on the motion task.
