KOLLMORGEN S22460-SRS: Compact Servo Drive for Precision Motion in Tight Spaces
You know how frustrating it is when your machine’s control cabinet starts looking like a wiring spaghetti factory? That’s exactly where the S22460-SRS shines. From my experience troubleshooting packaging lines, this drive consistently solves space crunches without sacrificing performance. One thing I appreciate is how it handles regenerative energy internally – no bulky external brake resistors eating up your DIN rail space. A maintenance tech at a Midwest bottling plant told me it cut their changeover time by 15% just by simplifying wiring.
Why Motion Engineers Keep This Drive in Their Toolkit
- → Integrated regenerative circuit – Handles braking energy internally, typically eliminating external resistors in applications under 3kW. Saved one automotive supplier $1,200 in cabinet components per machine.
- → EtherCAT & CANopen compatibility – Plugs straight into modern networks. In many cases, you’ll notice faster commissioning versus older RS-485 setups, especially with Kollmorgen’s tuning software.
- → IP65-rated front panel – Survives washdown environments where competitors fail. A dairy equipment builder I worked with stopped replacing drives monthly after switching to these.
- → Auto-tuning with vibration suppression – Gets tricky axes stable in under 5 minutes. You might notice smoother motion on high-inertia loads like rotary cutters.

Where It Proves Its Worth Daily
If you’re running high-speed labeling machines or robotic assembly cells, this drive handles the stop-start motion without breaking a sweat. I’ve seen it excel in pharmaceutical blister packaging where precise indexing matters – one customer reduced rejected batches by 7% after switching from a competing drive. Food processing lines love the IP65 front panel during sanitation cycles, though you’ll want to verify ambient temperature if your oven area runs hot. Typically avoids headaches in textile winding applications where tension control makes or breaks product quality.
Your Procurement Team Will Appreciate This
Forget just counting dollars – this drive pays back through uptime. The integrated regen circuit alone saves $300-$500 per installation in component costs, and field reports show 40% fewer faults versus drives needing external resistors. Compatibility with Kollmorgen’s AKM motors means no adapter plates or signal converters eating your budget. From my experience, the real value hits when maintenance crews spend 30% less time tuning axes – that’s machine hours you’ll actually bill. And yes, it plays nice with Siemens PLCs despite being a “Kollmorgen ecosystem” product.
Keeping It Running Smoothly
Mount it on standard TS-35 rail with at least 10mm spacing between units – I’ve seen overheating issues when someone crammed four drives together in a sealed cabinet. Ventilation matters: maintain 50mm clearance above the unit, and avoid mounting directly above heat-generating components like power supplies. Before powering up, double-check your motor feedback cable shielding; noise issues usually trace back to that. For maintenance, clean vents quarterly with compressed air (don’t use solvents!), and schedule firmware updates during planned downtime – Kollmorgen’s free software makes this painless. Safety note: always verify STO circuits with a multimeter after installation.
Quality You Can Trust
CE, UL 61800-5-1, and ISO 13849-1 certified for safety – no certification gaps that delay machine shipments. RoHS 3 compliant since 2020 models. Backed by Kollmorgen’s 2-year manufacturer warranty, but here’s what matters to you: our standard 365-day warranty covers labor and parts if installed per guidelines. One caveat – the warranty voids if you exceed 55°C ambient without derating, so monitor those cabinet temps.
Getting Your Units Rolling
In-stock units ship within 1 week (FedEx/UPS/DHL). For larger orders, we’ll confirm lead times upfront – never more than 4 weeks. Payment: 50% deposit to secure, balance before shipment. No hidden fees, and we include free basic configuration support with every drive. If you need help verifying compatibility with your AKM motor series, just send the model number – we’ll check it before you order.
