Product Description:

The ENC-AKM-030M-MCS-DCA-28-NA feedback cable is produced by Kollmorgen and belongs to the Kollmorgen Servo Cables series. It links an AKM motor encoder to a compatible SERVOSTAR or AKD drive, carrying position, commutation, and supply lines in a single assembly for closed-loop motion control in industrial automation. By combining feedback conductors and supply pairs within one jacket, the product simplifies cabinet wiring and minimizes potential signal errors on fast-moving axes.

The cable core consists of eight 28 AWG pairs and one 16 AWG pair, a layout that separates low-level encoder signals from the heavier supply conductors and maintains stable characteristic impedance along the run. With an overall length of 30 m, it can connect remote motors on gantries or conveyors without intermediate junctions. At the drive end, a 15-pin HD D-Sub male connector fits directly into the F1 or F2 feedback port. Its pinout carries differential quadrature signals on channels A/A-, B/B-, and I/I- for accurate incremental counting. The line driver inside the encoder is powered through dual rails of 9 VDC and +5 VDC, allowing compatible Kollmorgen drives to select the appropriate reference. The cable supports an incremental encoder, so the drive determines position by counting signal edges rather than reading an absolute position word.

The cable has a static-grade jacket intended for fixed routing inside cabinets and along machine frames where repeated flexing is not required. To provide clearance around adjacent hardware, the molded backshell on the drive side exits at a 45-degree angle, reducing cable strain near the controller faceplate. On the motor side, a straight M23 connector with 17 pins mates with compatible AKM encoders and carries the S1, S2, and S3 commutation tracks while limiting interference between signal channels. The separated conductor groups help protect low-level feedback signals from noise generated on the supply pair. Molded connector bodies provide strain relief at both cable ends and support secure connections during normal machine vibration.
