Detailed content

Product Introduction:
The AKM54K-CCANDBD is a compact servo motor from Kollmorgen’s AKM product line, featuring a 54 mm frame size with multi-turn absolute feedback, no holding brake, and a keyed shaft. The model code breaks down as: 54 = frame size, K = length, CC = multi-turn absolute encoder, A = shaft type, N = no brake, D = connector, B = shaft key, D = additional config.

Structural Features:

  • 54 mm aluminum alloy housing — Smallest frame in AKM series; ultra-compact.
  • Multi-turn absolute encoder (CC) — 524,288 positions per revolution; 128-turn memory; CR2032 battery-backed.
  • Keyed shaft (14 mm, DIN 6885) — 4 mm wide × 2.5 mm deep keyway.
  • No holding brake — Lightest configuration in AKM54K family.
  • Connector type D — M23 12-pin circular connector (standard Kollmorgen motor connector).
  • Shaft seal type D — Lip seal; suitable for clean indoor environments.

Working Principle:
Three-phase AC current in stator windings drives NdFeB permanent magnet rotor. The multi-turn absolute encoder uses a coded glass disc with battery-backed SRAM to store absolute position across power cycles. On power-up, the drive reads the absolute position immediately — no homing sequence required. The encoder resolution of 524,288 counts/rev provides 0.000686° per count at the motor shaft.

Key Advantages:

  • Multi-turn absolute feedback — Position known instantly on power-up; no homing required.
  • Ultra-compact 54 mm frame — Smallest servo motor in AKM family; ideal for tight spaces.
  • No brake = lowest weight (1.1 kg) — Best torque-to-weight ratio in class.
  • Keyed shaft — Simple, zero-backlash coupling.
  • 524,288 counts/rev — Highest resolution in AKM54 family.

Applicable Industries:
Small robotics (gripper, wrist), Medical device actuators, Lab automation, Semiconductor inspection, Drone gimbal actuators, Camera pan/tilt systems.

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on 54 mm bolt circle (4× M3 bolts).
  • Keyway: 4 mm wide × 2.5 mm deep × 14 mm shaft diameter.
  • Encoder connector: M23 12-pin, type D — use Kollmorgen P/N 105102 cable or equivalent.
  • Ground housing to chassis: ≤ 0.1 Ω.
  • Do not apply axial loads > 20 N — bearings are rated for light thrust only.

Usage Precautions:

  • Absolute encoder battery (CR2032): Replace every 3 years or when position is lost after power-off.
  • Do not exceed 6,000 RPM — encoder and bearing limits.
  • No brake installed — vertical axis requires external brake or counterbalance.
  • Ambient temperature: 0°C to +40°C; derate torque 1.5% per °C above 40°C.
  • Do not use on shafts with shock loads > 2× rated torque — encoder glass scale is fragile.
