Product Description:

The ENC-AKM-003M-MCS-DCA-28-NA feedback cable is produced by Kollmorgen for the Kollmorgen Servo Cables series. It carries incremental encoder data and low-voltage power between an AKM servo motor and its matching drive, forming a dedicated link that supports commutation and temperature monitoring in automated machinery. The cable geometry and pin mapping allow the assembly to connect directly to the appropriate drive feedback ports without field crimping or rewiring. Its molded terminations also provide secure connections at both ends of the cable.

The overall length is 3 m, providing sufficient reach for typical motor-to-cabinet layouts while keeping the signal path short. Its insulation system is rated for a static installation, so the jacket is designed for fixed routing rather than continuous flexing. Encoder channels travel through eight pairs of 28 AWG conductors with twisted construction, which helps maintain balanced impedance and reduce crosstalk among the incremental encoder and commutation signals. Auxiliary sensor power is delivered through one pair of 16 AWG conductors, whose larger cross-sectional area helps minimize voltage drop along the run. The available supply connections are 9 VDC, +5 VDC, and COM, supporting the sensing electronics and Hall-effect commutation tracks. A separate temperature lead allows the drive to read the motor’s thermal sensor and initiate derating or shutdown when winding temperatures approach their operating limits.

At the controller end, the assembly terminates in a male 15-pin high-density D-sub connector that mates with the appropriate feedback receptacle. This plug has an angled body, allowing the cable to exit parallel to the cabinet wall while reducing stress caused by tight bends. The feedback link connects to the drive’s F1/F2 port, placing the encoder and commutation signals on the correct input pins for phase alignment. At the motor end, a molded circular plug provides a secure connection to the AKM encoder housing. The plug uses a straight backshell, which simplifies routing through conduit or strain-relief glands before connection. The fixed-routing jacket and molded connector bodies protect the internal conductors from ordinary handling during installation and operation.
