Kollmorgen AKM44E-ANC2DB00 AKM Series AC Servo Motor

Description

Key Technical Specifications

Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy

The Kollmorgen AKM44E-ANC2DB00 is a high-performance synchronous AC servo motor engineered for precision automated assembly, packaging machinery, and multi-axis CNC systems. Featuring low cogging torque, high torque density, and an integrated 24 VDC holding brake, it delivers exceptional dynamic response across wide speed ranges when paired with Kollmorgen AKD servo drives.

This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All modules undergo rigorous quality verification to ensure OEM-level reliability.

Procuring an AKM44E-ANC2DB00 motor as New Surplus yields a direct Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) advantage for high-throughput production lines. Refurbished servo motors carry high risks of degraded rotor magnets, worn bearings, and micro-cracked feedback encoder discs caused by improper mechanical disassembly. Saving 400 on a refurbished motor can cost 50,000 in unplanned downtime when a motor stalls mid-cycle or loses position tracking. We recently saw a high-speed packaging plant attempt to save procurement budget by buying a second-hand servo motor. Three months later, worn internal bearings caused shaft runout, destroying the drive coupling and halting the line for 16 hours. Our pricing reflects the true cost of acquiring pristine New Surplus inventory globally, guaranteeing 100% dynamic performance and complete peace of mind.

Installation & Configuration Guide

• Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)

  Disconnect 3-phase main power to the driving amplifier and follow complete lock-out/tag-out safety protocols. Put on a grounded ESD wristband before handling feedback connectors. Verify mechanical mounting dimensions, shaft keyway clearance, and coupling alignment before installing the motor.

• Stage 2: Removal

  Support the weight of the motor on vertical or loaded axes to prevent mechanical drop when the brake releases. Disconnect the power cable and feedback signal connectors by rotating the Intercontec bayonet locking rings counterclockwise. Unbolt the coupling clamp and remove the four flange bolts to slide the old motor off the gearhead or mounting face.

• Stage 3: Installation (Clone & Seat)

  Clean the mounting flange pilot and check that the shaft keyway seats cleanly into the flexible coupling without forced axial impact. Align the New Surplus AKM44E-ANC2DB00 onto the pilot shoulder and hand-tighten all four flange mounting bolts before torquing evenly to specification. Rotate the connector housings to the desired cable dress angle.

• Stage 4: Power-On & Testing

  Connect the power and feedback cables, ensuring SpeedTec bayonet locks latch completely. Apply 24 VDC to release the internal holding brake manually and verify smooth manual rotation. Enable the servo drive in diagnostic mode, perform a low-speed jog test to check phase commutation and encoder count feedback, and confirm zero thermal or alignment fault alarms.

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes

• Feedback Electronics Synchronization: The AKM44E-ANC2DB00 feedback device stores electronic nameplate data read automatically by Kollmorgen AKD drives. Ensure the drive firmware version supports the feedback memory map of your motor revision.
• Drive Parameter Configuration: When replacing an older motor winding iteration (such as swapping C or D windings to an E winding), you MUST update drive motor parameters (peak current limits, continuous current, thermal time constants) in Kollmorgen Workbench to prevent over-current trips.
• Modification Warning: Never strike the output shaft of the AKM44E-ANC2DB00 with a hammer or mallet during coupling installation. Axial impact will shatter the internal glass optical encoder disc, permanently ruining the feedback assembly and requiring factory replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Is this Kollmorgen motor brand new or a refurbished pull?

  A: This unit is 100% Brand New Surplus. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned line, and not refurbished. It features pristine shaft surfaces, clean keyway geometry, untouched electrical pins, and factory balance integrity.

• Q: Why should I pay more for New Surplus instead of buying a cheaper refurbished motor online?

  A: Refurbished motors frequently suffer from weakened permanent magnets, worn internal ball bearings, and degraded shaft oil seals that leak under pressure. A motor failure during continuous operation can ruin workpieces and cause catastrophic downtime losses that vastly exceed the initial purchase savings.

• Q: Does the “2DB” suffix indicate that this motor includes an integrated holding brake?

  A: Yes, the “2DB” option code specifies a factory-installed 24 VDC electromagnetic holding brake, making this motor suitable for vertical Z-axis applications to prevent gravity fall during power loss.

• Q: What is the IP rating of the servomotor?

  A: The motor housing carries a standard IP65 rating when high-grade mating connectors are used. The installed shaft oil seal protects internal components against water spray and industrial oil mist.

• Q: What warranty coverage comes with this New Surplus Kollmorgen motor?

  A: We cover this New Surplus unit with a comprehensive 1-year replacement warranty, giving your plant engineering team complete operational reliability.
