  • Bearings: Two sealed ball bearings (lifetime-lubricated)
  • Housing: Aluminum alloy, anodized finish

Functional Characteristics:

  • Integrated absolute encoder eliminates homing routine after power loss
  • Hiperface DSL interface provides high noise immunity for industrial environments
  • CNC variant includes Z-channel index pulse for reference mark alignment
  • High torque-to-inertia ratio for fast dynamic response

Applicable Industries:

  • CNC machining centers
  • Robot joints (6-axis and collaborative)
  • Packaging machinery
  • Semiconductor handling equipment
  • Medical devices

Key Advantages:

  • No external encoder cable required — reduces installation complexity
  • Absolute position retention eliminates recalibration
  • Compact form factor with high power density
  • Robust construction for continuous duty operation

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount using M5 tapped holes on flange (bolt pattern: 80 mm diameter)
  • Ensure shaft alignment within 0.05 mm TIR
  • Torque mounting bolts to 2.5 Nm
  • Ground motor housing to chassis ground

Usage Notes:

  • Do not exceed maximum continuous current rating
  • Ensure adequate ventilation; derate torque by 10% above 40°C ambient
  • Use shielded cable for encoder signals in high-EMI environments
  • Follow Kollmorgen AKD drive commissioning wizard for parameter auto-tuning
