Product Description:

The AKM73L-KKS2CA02 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Kollmorgen for the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In automated machinery, this motor converts commanded current into controlled torque and speed, allowing position or velocity loops within a servo drive system to act on a mechanical load. Its electromechanical profile fits mid-size gantries, indexing tables, packaging lines, and other axes that require fast response, repeatable motion, and stable servo operation across changing loads.

For motion safety, the motor integrates a 24 V holding brake, which clamps the shaft whenever drive power is removed so vertical axes remain stationary. A special connector arrangement organizes power, brake, and feedback pins at the rear of the housing, helping keep cable routing compact at the motor end. Position data travels on 2 lines, reducing conductor count while still supporting differential signaling against electrical noise in industrial environments. The encoder core is the SFD3 inductive sensor, and it produces an absolute angle in a single-turn inductive format that eliminates batteries and keeps accuracy stable over temperature. That feedback arrangement allows the drive to read rotor position immediately after power-up without requiring a homing move.

The feedback package sits in a Size 10/15/21 housing, allowing interchange with other AKM sensors that share the same mounting points. An overall diameter of 188 mm lets the motor couple directly to gearheads designed for IEC 180 frames without adapter plates. Internal stack height corresponds to Rotor Length Index 3, which indicates the active iron length used with the L winding in this model. Torque reaches the load through an open keyway shaft that accepts standard keyed hubs and helps prevent slip during high acceleration. This shaft style is suited to direct coupling arrangements where positive mechanical engagement is required during repeated start-and-stop motion.
