Kollmorgen’s AKM2G synchronous servo motors are the next generation of its AKM motor product family, and provide increased capabilities for demanding applications. The higher torque density of the AKM2G allows OEMs to substantially increase machine performance without increasing motor size. Greater flexibility and wider speed range enables machines to run faster, move heavier loads, and […]
Kollmorgen to feature frameless motors and gearmotors for robot design at XPONENTIAL 2019
Kollmorgen’s frameless motor solutions have empowered smaller, lighter, and faster precision robots for decades. The company will feature its latest motion technology for robot design for engineers and manufacturers at the AUVSI XPONENTIAL SHOW, April 30 to May 2, in Chicago, IL. Throughout the show, visitors to Booth #938 can experience product demos and have […]
New servo motor series from Kollmorgen
The new VLM servo motor series from Kollmorgen aims to fill the gap between stepper and high-performance servo motors. The new VLM series synchronous servo motors offer OEMs, machine builders and end-users, an excellent price-performance proposition in the torque range of 0.5 to 4.5 Nm continuous and 16 Nm peak, with speeds of up to […]
New dual-axis AKD2G servo drive from Kollmorgen
Kollmorgen’s new dual-axis AKD2G Servo Drive is one of the most power-dense industrial servo drives on the market. It substantially reduces mains wiring, fuses, and filtering to save significant panel space and cost. The AKD2G features expandable I/O (without increasing the size), removable memory, dual-channel STO, and the first drive-resident graphic display in the industry. […]
Difference between continuous ratings and holding continuous loads (an ac servo-motor terminology primer)
For applications primarily needing the holding of a load with little movement, there are special servo-motor sizing considerations. But confusion often arises from the terminology used to describe such designs — especially from the common use of the term stall in the servo-motor industry. Here we clarify the definition in context and then relate it […]
Kollmorgen to demo new AKD2G Servo Drive & AKM2G Servo Motor System at Pack Expo 2018
Kollmorgen will be exhibiting at Pack Expo, October 14-17, 2018, in Chicago, IL. Attendees are invited to visit booth N-5251 to see new-to-the-show demos of the company’s motion technology, including the new AKD2G servo drive and AKM2G servo motor system solution, hygienic motor solutions for packaging applications, and state-of-the-art robotics. AKD2G Servo Drive: The dual-axis […]

Thermal time constants and managing PMAC servo motor overloads
When high intermittent power density is required, using classic RMS calculations and speed-torque performance curves as the sole selection methods may be problematic. That’s because such approaches might cause motor or drive undersizing. By Hurley Gill • Senior applications and systems engineer | Kollmorgen Using classic performance curves with RMS calculations is perfectly acceptable for […]
Designing motors with safety in mind
by Hilary Whiting, Manufacturing Engineer, Advanced Manufacturing, Kollmorgen With scientifically verified hygienic design principles, motor manufacturers are designing motors for food and beverage applications that dramatically improve safety. The food and beverage industry is one where safety is paramount. That’s why food and beverage companies and their machine suppliers are battling constantly to keep their […]
Stepper motor or servomotor: Which should it be?
by Hurley Gill, Senior Systems and Application Engineer, Kollmorgen Servomotor and stepper motor technologies are indispensable in today’s mechatronic machine designs. However, clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of both make it easier to identify which is best for a given application. If a given motion task can be done with either a stepper […]
