Product Description:
The ENC-AKM-003M-MCS-DCA-28-AA is an encoder feedback cable manufactured by Kollmorgen for the Kollmorgen Servo Cables series. It links AKM servo motors to compatible drives so that position, velocity, and commutation data reach the controller without signal loss. By carrying differential encoder channels and commutation tracks in one shielded assembly, the cable simplifies wiring in industrial automation systems that require reliable motion control.
The assembly has an overall length of 3 m, providing enough reach for typical motor-to-cabinet runs while keeping capacitance low. A Hi-Flex jacket and stranded conductors allow the cable to withstand continuous movement in cable tracks without fatigue. Dynamic routing requires a minimum bend radius of 12 times the outer diameter, so cable guides must provide enough clearance to prevent conductor stress. At the drive end, a 15-pin high-density male D-Sub connector carries encoder, Hall sensor, and power lines in a compact shell. Its mating hood is angled at 45° to clear adjacent fieldbus plugs in densely arranged panels. Inside the sheath, balanced transmission is maintained by one untwisted 16 AWG power pair and multiple twisted signal pairs. This arrangement allows the larger conductors to carry supply current while the signal conductors limit crosstalk between feedback channels.
The cable supports commutating feedback, allowing the embedded Hall tracks to align the drive’s electrical angle with the rotor position at power-up. Incremental position data travel over the shielded pairs through an incremental encoder interface, enabling high-resolution interpolation in the drive. The motor end uses a straight M23 connector that fits directly into AKM stator housings without rotational interference. For fine-pitch control lines, the assembly contains eight twisted pairs of 28 AWG conductors. These pairs separate the A, B, and Z channels and their complementary signals from the commutation tracks. The separation improves noise immunity by reducing electromagnetic coupling among the low-level feedback signals during servo operation.
