Product Description:

The AKM23C-ANB2C-00 is a compact synchronous servo motor produced by Kollmorgen as part of the AKM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Designed for industrial automation, the unit converts commanded current into controlled torque and speed, allowing machinery to execute accurate positioning, contouring, and indexing sequences across packaging lines, pick-and-place gantries, and general-purpose motion stages. Its rare-earth magnetic circuit pairs with a tailored C winding to maintain dynamic response while keeping the overall mass low. The permanent-magnet rotor supports responsive acceleration and controlled movement when the motor is connected to a compatible servo drive. This arrangement is suitable for applications that require precise motion in a compact installation space.

The mounting face conforms to an IEC flange with accuracy class N, so its perpendicularity and concentricity tolerances meet common gearbox requirements. A 58 mm frame dimension reduces the motor footprint, while rotor length index 3 increases the active stack length for additional continuous torque. Motor leads terminate through two SpeedTec-ready connectors that lock with a quarter turn and permit quick connection or disconnection. The output end carries a smooth shaft, eliminating key stress when clamp hubs are used. For vertical axes or suspended loads, a factory-installed 24 V holding brake locks the rotor whenever the drive is disabled. The motor uses the standard customization level and baseline option set for this model. Its compact mounting arrangement supports direct integration with compatible couplings, gearboxes, and machine frames without requiring a keyed hub.

Closed-loop control is handled by Kollmorgen’s SFD encoder. The device transmits four lines of digital position data that include commutation information, incremental counts, and a marker reference. Its housing matches the Size 10/15/21 outline, allowing direct connection with standard feedback cables from AKD drives. The encoder uses single-turn inductive sensing, so the absolute rotor angle remains available after power cycling without batteries. Inductive operation also maintains reliable position sensing when the motor is exposed to oil or dust. Immediate position availability reduces settling time and removes the need for mechanical homing routines during startup. The feedback signal allows the connected drive to maintain tight velocity regulation and accurate rotor commutation throughout dynamic motion cycles.
