AKM22E-ANB2R-00 Kollmorgen AKM Servo Motor

Description

Product Model: AKM22E-ANB2R-00
Product Brand: Kollmorgen
Product Series: AKM Synchronous Servo Motor (frame 22, “E” winding variant)

Product Features:

• Compact 22-frame synchronous servo motor, ideal for high-speed, dynamic axes
• High voltage bus tolerance (up to 640 VDC) aligned with AKM family standard
• Strong torque output in a small package (similar variants reach ~4.82 Nm peak)
• Flexible mounting options, feedback adaptability, and rugged design for demanding motion systems

Product Role & System Fit

The AKM22E-ANB2R-00 belongs in the class of compact, high-performance synchronous servo motors designed to drive motion axes in automation systems. Within a machine control architecture, this motor is the actuator element: receiving voltage and current commands from a servo drive (like a Kollmorgen AKD or similar amplifier) and converting them into torque and motion, while feeding back position and velocity information via resolver or encoder.

In multi-axis systems — such as pick-and-place robots, gantries, indexing tables, or compact automation cells — this motor typically occupies inner axes where size, speed, and responsiveness matter. Because it follows the AKM family design practices (shared mechanical interfaces, feedback options, and bus tolerance), it integrates well alongside other AKM units.

Due to its naming, “22E” hints at a 22-frame construction, and the suffix “ANB2R” suggests a particular winding, feedback, or shaft/connector variant. In practice, integrators match that variant to the drive’s parameter set and mechanical interface.

When properly matched with a compatible servo amplifier, the motor acts as the closed-loop link in position, torque or velocity control. The drive monitors feedback (resolver or encoder) and adjusts currents to minimize error. Because the AKM family supports a wide voltage bus (e.g. up to 640 VDC) and multiple frames, this motor fits systems that demand speed, power density, or future scalability.

Applications & Industry Context

Because of its compact yet capable design, AKM22E-ANB2R-00 is especially suited for applications where dynamic response, space constraint, and motion precision intersect. Common use cases include:

• Robotic joints (wrist or elbow axes requiring fast acceleration)
• Compact linear / rotary stages in semiconductor or pick-and-place equipment
• Indexing or turret mechanisms in packaging or assembly lines
• Cameras / scanning systems in inspection or vision systems
• Secondary axes in machine tools or packaging systems where torque demands are moderate but speed and smooth response are critical

Because the AKM family is widely used in industrial automation, machines employing this motor benefit from established support, parameter libraries, and compatibility with Kollmorgen drives and tooling.

Technical Features & Benefits

Even though the variant AKM22E-ANB2R-00 is less documented, many of its features can be inferred from the AKM family and closely related models:

High Bus Voltage Compatibility

The entire AKM series is designed to support high DC bus voltages (often up to 640 VDC) to enable high speed and power scaling. This gives headroom for dynamic commands and energy recovery in larger systems.

Excellent Torque Density

Despite a small frame, AKM motors provide strong torque per volume. Related model AKM22E-ANBNR-00 lists a peak torque (Tp) of 4.82 Nm in the same frame class.  That gives engineers room for acceleration, inertia, or minor overload demands.

Feedback Flexibility

AKM motors typically support resolvers or encoders (absolute, incremental) as feedback means. This enables precise control and compatibility with safety systems or redundant feedback loops.

Rugged Construction & Mounting Options

AKM motors follow robust design guidelines. The installation manual states mounting styles IM B5, standard flanges, and permissible orientations.  They may come with options for more rugged sealing, shaft protection, or thermal insulation.

Scalable Family & Ease of Replacement

Because AKM units share mechanical footprints across frames and winding variants, moving between sizes or swapping units is simplified. Also, control parameter sets often carry across in the same family, facilitating faster commissioning.

Low Cogging & Smooth Operation

For motion systems, minimal torque ripple is desirable. The AKM series is designed to deliver smooth performance across speed ranges, which benefits closed-loop stability and system precision.

Installation & Maintenance Insights

Here are practical tips to maximize performance and longevity of an AKM22E-ANB2R-00 motor in the field:

• Mounting & Alignment
  Mount the motor securely to a rigid base to prevent vibration. Use precision alignment for couplings to avoid radial or angular misalignment, which can induce bearing stress or resonance.
• Cooling & Thermal Management
  Even though the motor is designed for industrial use, ensure good ventilation or forced airflow if in enclosure. Monitor temperature — avoid sustained operation above rated thermal limits.
• Electrical Wiring & Shielding
  Feedback (resolver / encoder) cables should be shielded and separated from high power wiring. Proper grounding and avoiding coupling to noise sources ensures stable feedback signals.
• Drive Parameter Matching
  Use the correct motor parameters (resistance, inductance, feedback scaling) in your servo drive. Many AKM drives or parameter tools have built-in parameter sets for AKM series motors.
• Startup & Testing
  Perform slow jog tests before high-speed operation. Validate closed-loop stability at low speeds, and gradually ramp speed while monitoring current and torque.
• Overload & Peak Handling
  The motor can handle transient peak torque above rated torque, but design within safe limits — avoid prolonged overcurrent conditions.
• Periodic Maintenance
  Check bearings (noise, temperature), connectors (tightness, corrosion), feedback cables (integrity), and general cleanliness.
• Spare Strategy
  Because AKM series motors share standard frames and mounting, having a spare of the same frame / variant helps minimize downtime.
