Simple Co-Engineering options for Kollmorgen AKM 2G servo motors

The AKM 2G motors were developed by Kollmorgen to provide next generation performance, with torque outputs 30 per cent higher than other motors of similar size. Further benefits include a choice of feedback options to meet application requirements and single cable connection technology to simplify installation. There are six sizes available, covering powers from 0.18kW to 11.8kW and torque outputs from 1.8Nm to 75.2Nm.

Since its launch the AKM 2G has been offered with numerous shafts, mounting and connector options, the most popular of which are now available via the Co-E programme.

INMOCO's Gerard Bush explains: "Besides the standard metric IEC with closed keyway (AC) and metric IEC (AN) types of mounting, the Co-E brings new options of alternative shaft with closed keyway (GN) and alternative shaft (GC) options. Also the shaft is modified to match the next-generation smaller frame-size motor."

The Co-E encompasses similar expansion of options for the connectors. A single right-angle M23 connector is available for the whole range from Frame size 2 to 7; dual right-angle M23/M23 and dual straight M23/M23 connectors can be provided for Frame sizes 3-7; a "ytec' connector is available for Frame size 2 and single right-angle M40 and dual right-angle M40/M23 connectors are available for Frame size 7. The right angle AKM 1G connector can be used on all frame sizes of AKM 2G.

Gerard says: "Similarly the Co-E increases the number of standard feedback options. All sizes can use resolver, SFD3 and Hiperface solutions, while BiSS and Endat encoder options are also available.

"All told Co-E expands the number of configurations in which AKM 2G motors are available as standard. Of course we can still prepare specials to suit particular applications. Thus state-of-the-art motion control is available to all."
