Product Description:
The AKM73L-KK12GK-01 is a synchronous servo motor built by Kollmorgen for the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Within industrial automation, this motor converts electrical commands from a drive into controlled rotary motion, supplying accurate position and velocity regulation for indexing tables, pick-and-place axes, or packaging spindles. Kollmorgen combines a permanent-magnet rotor with low-cogging stator geometry so the motor responds quickly to trajectory changes while maintaining a low following error under dynamic loads. This design also supports smooth rotation when an application requires precise movement at low speeds.
The unit includes a 24 V holding brake that clamps the shaft when power is removed, which protects suspended or vertical loads from drifting. Closed-loop control is based on a 128 lines/rev feedback scale generated by a HIPERFACE encoder. This protocol transmits absolute and incremental information over a bidirectional serial link, minimizing wiring while supporting electronic motor data. Position memory extends beyond one rotation because the sensing head uses a multi-turn optical design that counts mechanical revolutions without a battery. The measuring element is identified as feedback type SKM36, a compact scanner that tolerates high vibration and temperature changes without losing alignment.
The mounting frame measures 188 mm across its square face, providing a substantial mechanical interface for industrial equipment. The electromagnetic stack has a rotor length index of 3, providing greater torque capacity than shorter motors in the same frame. Torque is transferred through an open-keyway shaft, allowing rigid coupling to gearboxes or pulleys without relying solely on clamping friction. The keyway provides positive engagement between the shaft and the connected component under changing rotational loads. Coil parameters use winding designation L, which matches the motor with drive outputs suited to its voltage constant and rated current. Proper drive matching supports efficient operation when the motor is paired with a compatible Kollmorgen Servostar inverter.
