Kollmorgen M-403-B-21-B3

Product Introduction:
The Goldline M-Series are classic Kollmorgen brushless servo motors with rare-earth magnets, optimized for medium-inertia applications and compatibility with SERVOSTAR amplifiers. Frame size corresponds to NEMA 34 / IEC 80 mm class. The “-B-21-B3” suffix typically denotes winding code (B = specific voltage/torque constant), feedback (21 = encoder option), and connector/mount variant (B3 = MS connectors or flying leads, flange mount).

Detailed content

Typical Performance (M-403 / Frame 40 class):
  • Rated Power:​ ~1.3–1.8 kW (depends on winding)
  • Continuous Stall Torque:​ ~6.9 Nm (B-winding typical for M-403)
  • Peak Torque:​ ~19.9 Nm
  • Rated Speed:​ 3000–5000 rpm (winding dependent)
  • Max DC Bus Voltage:​ 320 VDC
  • Rotor Inertia:​ Medium (higher than AKM low-inertia, suited for inertial matching)
  • Feedback:​ Typically optical incremental encoder + commutating Hall sensors; resolver optional depending on suffix
  • Winding:​ “B” winding → optimized for 230 VAC / 320 VDC bus
  • Insulation Class:​ F (155°C) or H (180°C) depending on vintage
  • Mounting:​ Flange mount, smooth or keyed shaft, rear shaft optional
  • Protection:​ IP65 with sealed connectors/caps
  • Thermostat:​ Normally closed bimetallic thermal switch (KTY or PTC)
Materials & Construction:
  • NdFeB rotor magnets, epoxy-impregnated stator windings
  • Cast aluminum or steel flange, black epoxy coating
  • Sealed ball bearings, greased-for-life
Installation & Notes:
  • Pair with SERVOSTAR S300/S400/S700 or AKD (with appropriate commutation setup).
  • Check feedback pinout carefully — Goldline motors use proprietary encoder/resolver pinouts.
  • Legacy product — AKM series is the modern replacement recommendation.
Applications:​ Machine tool spindles (aux), printing rollers, converting unwind/rewind, textile drafting, general automation where medium inertia aids load coupling.
