KOLLMORGEN AKM22E-CKSNR-05 – Compact AC Servo Motor for Precise, High-Speed Motion

The KOLLMORGEN AKM22E-CKSNR-05 is part of the AKM synchronous servo family that many OEMs lean on for tight spaces and clean, repeatable motion. From my experience, the AKM2 frame hits a sweet spot: small footprint, fast response, and enough torque for feeders, pick-and-place heads, compact index tables, and medical/analytical devices that run long hours with minimal fuss. You might notice that this particular build (-CKSNR-05) is configured for multi-phase drive operation with factory-defined feedback and connector orientation, making it a straightforward drop-in when you already standardize on KOLLMORGEN drives.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Delivery: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance; full payment prior to delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Compact AKM2 frame – A 58 mm-class flange that fits crowded machine panels and multi-axis stages without reworking the mechanics.
• High dynamic response – Low rotor inertia and tight electrical design deliver quick settling, which typically shortens cycle time in indexing or labeling tasks.
• Factory-configured feedback (per -CKSNR) – Supplied with a matched feedback/connector set for seamless pairing with KOLLMORGEN servo drives.
• IP65-ready when mated – With proper mating connectors installed, the motor is protected against dust and water jets, ideal for production floors.
• AKM winding “E” – Balanced torque/speed characteristic for many cases where both rapid traverse and stable low-speed control matter.
• Global compatibility – Typically used with 230/400 VAC-class servo drives; common bolt patterns simplify retrofits and expansions.
• Lifecycle-friendly – Bearings, seals, and insulation class are built for continuous-duty environments, reducing unplanned stops.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This model is commonly specified in light-to-medium duty axes where accuracy and speed both matter:

• Packaging and labeling heads, film feeds, small rotary knives
• Electronics pick-and-place, PCB depaneling, compact gantries
• Medical/analytical instruments, pumps, centrifuge positioning
• Inspection and test fixtures, metrology stages
• Light conveyor indexing, print registration axes

A packaging OEM told us they swapped an older stepper axis for an AKM2 servo and immediately shaved seconds off each cycle because of the faster settling and better low-speed smoothness. That seems to be a typical outcome when replacing steppers in high-throughput stations.

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Reliability – AKM motors are proven in continuous-duty lines; fewer changeouts and predictable maintenance windows.
• Compatibility – Pairs cleanly with KOLLMORGEN AKD/S700 drives and common industrial feedback types, lowering integration risk.
• Cost-of-ownership – Efficient motor design often reduces drive current sizing and cabinet cooling needs.
• Short lead support – For urgent replacements, we can usually ship within a week if stocked; this reduces downtime exposure.
• Traceable configuration – The -CKSNR-05 build code helps match existing machines exactly, avoiding requalification costs.

Installation & Maintenance

• Mounting – Use the front-face flange with proper dowel/locating features. Align the shaft with a suitable coupling; avoid axial hammering on the shaft.
• Wiring – Route motor power and feedback in separate conduits where possible. Maintain minimum bend radius on cables and ensure proper shielding/grounding to limit EMI.
• Environment – Keep the motor within 0–40 °C ambient typically; ensure airflow around the body or attach to a thermally conductive mount for heat dissipation.
• Safety – Lock out power before service. Verify that mated connectors are fully seated to maintain IP rating.
• Routine care – Periodically inspect connectors and cables for wear, wipe down housing surfaces, and run the drive’s autotune or calibration after mechanical changes.
• Drive setup – Load the exact feedback/motor file in the drive (AKD/S700) for optimal current loop and resolver/encoder configuration.

Quality & Certifications

• CE compliant
• UL Recognized (typical for AKM series)
• RoHS compliant
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems
• 365-day warranty

Recommended Supporting Components

• KOLLMORGEN AKD servo drives – Fast current loop and seamless motor file support; great match for AKM22E axes.
• KOLLMORGEN S700 servo drives – For applications needing fieldbus flexibility and advanced safety.
• KOLLMORGEN motor power/feedback cables – Correct mating ensures IP rating and noise immunity; length and orientation to fit your cabinet layout.
• KOLLMORGEN low‑backlash gearheads (PLM/GB series) – When additional torque or finer resolution is needed without sacrificing stiffness.

If you’re matching an existing machine build, sharing the full nameplate string “AKM22E-CKSNR-05” plus the drive model typically lets us confirm the feedback type and cable set in minutes. That small step saves a lot of guesswork at commissioning.
