KOLLMORGEN AKM32D-ANC2R-00 – Compact Brushless Servo Motor for Fast, Accurate Motion

The KOLLMORGEN AKM32D-ANC2R-00 is part of the AKM family of high-performance brushless servo motors. From my experience, the AKM3 frame is a sweet spot for machine builders who need high dynamics in a compact 58 mm-class footprint. You might notice that this variant (ANC2R-00) is typically paired with AKD drives for quick commissioning, clean cabling, and very precise positioning across packaging, electronics assembly, and light automation lines.

Key Features

• High torque density in a small frame: Fits where space is tight while still delivering the acceleration modern indexing axes need.
• Low-inertia rotor design: Typically enables fast start/stop moves and short settling times, useful for pick-and-place or feeder stations.
• Precision feedback (ANC2R configuration): This build appears to ship with KOLLMORGEN’s SFD/encoder-style feedback for tight servo loops and easy AKD pairing.
• IP-rated construction: When mated with the proper connectors, AKM motors are commonly used in IP65 environments—good for dusty shop floors.
• Standard 58 mm-class flange mounting: Straightforward drop-in for many IEC/NEMA-equivalent layouts, reducing bracket redesign time.
• Broad drive compatibility: Optimized for AKD drives; commonly integrated with 230/400 VAC-class servo systems in many cases.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

The AKM32D tends to shine in compact, fast-cycling machines: carton erectors, labelers, tabletop pick-and-place, electronics assembly nests, and small gantry axes. I’ve also seen it used for precision metering pumps and light rotary knives where quick indexing and repeatability matter more than raw continuous torque.

• Packaging and labeling axes with high throughput
• Electronics and semiconductor handling (XY/rotary stations)
• Medical and pharma filling/dispensing equipment
• Textile and printing tension/registration control
• Small robotics joints and collaborative tooling

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Proven reliability: AKM motors are widely deployed; spare parts and documentation are easy to source, which reduces downtime risk.
• Seamless integration: Quick setup with AKD drives—commutation data and feedback pairing typically streamline tuning.
• Lifecycle support: Long-running platform with backward-compatible options, so replacements are straightforward.
• Cost control: High torque per size can allow smaller frames and lower cabinet/fixture costs in many cases.
• Technical support: Parameter files, torque-speed curves, and wiring guides are readily available, helping your team move fast.

Installation & Maintenance

• Mounting: Use the 58 mm-class flange with proper pilot alignment; avoid shaft side-loads and misalignment (flex couplings help).
• Cabling: Use manufacturer-approved power and feedback cables; keep motor cables separated from signal lines and bond shields at both ends as recommended.
• Environment: For IP65 performance, ensure correct connector seals and strain relief; avoid direct washdown unless the variant is rated for it.
• Drive panel: Provide adequate ventilation for the drive; follow EMC grounding, ferrites, and routing practices to minimize noise.
• Routine checks: Inspect connectors and seals quarterly; clean surfaces to maintain thermal dissipation; review servo tuning if load inertia changes.
• Firmware & tuning: Keep the AKD drive firmware up to date; save parameter sets and backups after commissioning.

Quality & Certifications

• Compliance: CE marking; UL/CSA recognition commonly available on AKM series; RoHS conforming in most regions
• Manufacturing: Produced under ISO 9001 quality systems
• Warranty: 365-day warranty as supplied with our order terms

Recommended Matching Components

• KOLLMORGEN AKD servo drives: Select current/voltage to match axis demands; auto-setup with AKM motors typically speeds commissioning.
• Power and feedback cable sets (AKM3 frame): Pre-terminated cables reduce wiring errors and help maintain EMC.
• Helical planetary gearheads (AKM-compatible): For higher torque or lower backlash applications; common 1:3 to 1:20 ratios.
• EM brake resistor (for the drive): Useful on fast indexing axes to dissipate regenerative energy safely.
