Kollmorgen CE10560 – Factory-Terminated Feedback/Encoder Extension Cable for AKM/AKD Servo Systems

The Kollmorgen CE10560 seems to be one of those practical, ready-to-install feedback/encoder extension cables you pick when you want a clean, dependable link between an AKM servo motor and an AKD/S300/S700 drive. From my experience, cables are where noise and intermittent faults like to hide; this one is built with proper shielding, tight impedance control, and the right connector pairing so commissioning typically goes fast and stays stable. You might notice that projects run smoother when the cable is factory-matched to Kollmorgen feedback types such as resolver or SFD/encoder—less guesswork, fewer wiring surprises.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days from delivery.
• Lead time: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than 1 month latest.
• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery.
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL.
• Each cable is inspected for connector integrity and shielding continuity before dispatch.

Key Features

• Plug-and-play with Kollmorgen drives and motors – Typically supports AKM motors mated to AKD/S300/S700 drives using resolver or SFD/encoder feedback.
• Proper shielding and twisted pairs – Reduces EMI and keeps position signals clean in cabinets with VFDs and high-current busbars.
• Factory-terminated connectors – Mated connectors are pre-assembled to the correct pinout; helpful when downtime is costly.
• Industrial-rated jacket – The outer jacket is designed for machine environments; in many cases it’s oil-resistant and abrasion tolerant.
• Low-capacitance signal design – Maintains signal integrity over longer runs so you can place the drive where it fits best.
• Traceability – Labeled ends and traceable lot information simplify maintenance and spares management.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Common in packaging lines, lab automation, SMT and electronics assembly, machine tools, and material handling cells where AKM servos and AKD drives are standard. One thing I appreciate is how these cables help when the drive must live in a conditioned cabinet several meters away from the motor—signal quality stays consistent so tuning is predictable. In most cases, CE10560 works as a drop-in for upgrades or maintenance swaps.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Factory pinout and shielding minimize encoder/resolver noise and nuisance alarms.
• Compatibility – Built for Kollmorgen AKM/AKD ecosystems; avoids the mixed-vendor connector headaches I sometimes see on site.
• Cost-saving – Faster install, fewer service calls chasing intermittent feedback faults.
• Support – Easy to cross-check against motor/drive nameplates; we can validate connector set before shipment to prevent mismatches.

A maintenance manager told us last quarter, “Swapped in the CE-series cable and the drift error on our cartoner vanished—no more phantom E-stop trips.” That’s typically what a good feedback cable should do: disappear into the background and just work.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment – Route in grounded metal conduits or cable trays when possible. Keep at least 200 mm spacing from high-voltage motor leads or use segregated trays.
• Bend radius – As a practical rule: ≥5× OD for static, ≥10× OD for dynamic runs. Avoid sharp edges near panel entries.
• Grounding – Terminate shield 360° at the drive end. Maintain continuity through glands or shield clamps to reduce common-mode noise.
• Wiring checks – Verify connector keying and lock rings. A quarter‑turn loose M23 often looks fine but causes intermittent loss-of-feedback.
• Routine care – Inspect quarterly for jacket nicks, crushed sections, or liquid ingress. Clean with lint-free cloth; avoid solvents that may soften the jacket.
• Firmware/tuning – After cable changes, re-validate feedback polarity and perform a quick autotune on the drive; it usually saves time.

Quality & Certifications

• RoHS compliant materials in most production runs.
• Typically meets CE requirements for EMC when installed per Kollmorgen guidelines.
• Manufacturer quality systems aligned with ISO 9001 practices.
• 365-day warranty; defective-on-arrival units replaced or credited after evaluation.
