AKM®2G represents the latest evolution of the industry leading AKM motor product family.

With average continuous torque increases of 30%, OEMs and users can achieve substantial machine

performance increases without increasing the size of the motor.

The improved torque density allows a smaller motor to be used which reduces the machine footprint

without sacrificing performance.

• Ready for Industry 4.0 using data transfer / storage in motor feedback

• High efficiency electromagnetic design and materials to achieve IE-4 efficiency

• Shaft, mounting and connector options for optimal flexibility

• Energy saving holding brake option

• CE, UL, RoHS, REACH and EAC conformance

AKM®2G Servo Motor Series

AKM2G Motors Offer Extremely High Torque Density and High Acceleration The AKM2G high-

performance motor series offers a wide range of

mounting, connectivity, feedback and other options. These motors offer superb flexibility to meet

application needs with:

AKM®2G SERVO MOTOR SER I ES

• 6 frame sizes (58 to 192 mm)

• 23 frame-stack length combinations

• More than 70 standard windings

Greater Flexibility

More options to match needs

• AKM2G is designed to support a wider array of feedback, brake, thermal sensor and shaft

seal options – this greater flexibility means a higher probability of meeting application

requirements with a standard product.

• The AKM2G design has the potential for greater CoEngineering (modification) thanks to the

new housing design.  With a more flexible design for CoEngineering addressing applications

not covered by catalog standards is increased.

Higher Efficiency

Reduce energy consumption

• AKM2G has lower equivalent resistance than competitive solutions. For equivalent motor

frame sizes AKM2G will typically be more energy efficient (2-5%).

• Energy consumption is reduced with AKM2G compared to competitors.

Reduce machine space

• For equivalent torque it is possible to use a smaller size motor than competitive motors.

• The range of AKM2G sizes provides for optimizing for length or flange square depending on

which dimension is most critical.

• Use of the smaller motor saves space achieving equivalent performance in a smaller

footprint machine or saving space for other machine elements.

The Benefits of AKM2G Servo Motor

Smaller Footprint

EtherCAT® Bus Coupler

The EtherCAT® Bus Coupler connects Real-Time Ethernet systems via modular, expandable electronic terminal blocks.

A complete unit consists of a Bus Coupler, a set of Bus Terminals and a terminal.

Features

The EtherCAT Coupler connects the real-time Ethernet system EtherCAT with modular, expandable electronic terminal blocks.

A unit consists of a Bus Coupler, a set of terminals and a terminal.

The Bus Coupler recognizes the connected Bus Terminals and automatically assigns them to the EtherCAT process image.

The Bus Coupler is connected to the network via the upper Ethernet interface.

The lower RJ 45 socket can be used to connect other EtherCAT devices in the same strand.

In an EtherCAT network, the EtherCAT Coupler can be installed anywhere in the

Ethernet signaling section (100BASE-TX) – except directly on the switch.

EtherCAT (Ethernet Control Automation Technology) is an Ethernet solution for industrial

automation characterized by excellent performance and particularly simple operation.

etherCAT enables Ethernet star topologies to be replaced by simple line structures.

In addition, EtherCAT can also be wired in the “classic” way using switches for the integration of additional Ethernet devices.

The master does not require special plug-in cards and can be realized on any existing Ethernet controller using very simple interfaces.

EtherCAT is therefore also ideally suited for small and medium-sized control applications and will open up new fields of application for distributed I/O.

Kollmorgen servo drives are designed to provide precise control, optimum torque and a rich feature set to complement our extensive range of rotary servo motors and linear positioning systems. We offer the widest range of connectivity through state-of-the-art control technology, the simplest commissioning and the most compact packages in a global market where precise positioning, speed control or torque efficiency is key.

Our servo drives are typically paired with our extensive line of Kollmorgen servo motors, which provide the most popular feedback support on the market (including resolvers, incremental encoders, BiSS, EnDat, Hiperface, sinusoidal encoders).

Our servo drives have continuous duty power outputs ranging from 300 watts to 50,000 watts. With peak runtimes of a full 5 seconds in some drives, typically 3 times the rated continuous current, many applications can use significantly smaller servo drives and extend the dynamic performance of the servo drive family.

Connectivity is a key aspect of the machine, so we support many popular Ethernet fieldbuses such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet and SynqNet, and some models also support traditional fieldbuses including Profibus, Devicenet, CanOpen, RS485, RS232 and Sercos II. Sercos II.

An upcoming technology to make machines safer is functionally integrated safety in servo drives. The Kollmorgen S700 and AKD2G servo drives have integrated safety functions. This enables machine builders to create inherently safer machines with flexible safety zones and less wiring and configuration than ever before.

With the perfectly adapted AKD2G servo drive, the Kollmorgen 2G motion control system can fully

realize the full potential of our new generation servo motor, the AKM2G, and deliver unmatched power

density and control. The integration of the two allows for a significant increase in torque, responsiveness and control, while the

The integration of the two allows for a significant increase in torque, responsiveness and control power, as well as a more compact footprint, increasing ease of installation and overall design flexibility.
