Kollmorgen PMA240-1050B-02

Product Name:​ PMA Series Permanent Magnet Brushless Servo Motor (Platinum Heritage / Legacy Line)
Product Introduction:​ The PMA series is a legacy high-performance brushless servo motor family, predecessor to AKM; “240” denotes frame size (~240 mm diameter or relevant flange code), “1050” indicates peak torque ~1050 Nm or related torque class, “B-02” is winding/feedback/config variant.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications (typical for large-frame PMA):
  • Frame Size:​ 240 mm (model-derived)
  • Peak Torque:​ ~1050 Nm (model suffix derived)
  • Rated Torque:​ Fraction of peak (dependent on thermal rating, often 1/3–1/2 peak)
  • Rated Speed:​ Optimized for medium-low speed high torque (exact RPM winding-dependent)
  • Voltage Constant (Kv), Torque Constant (Kt):​ Design-specific
  • Feedback:​ Typically resolver or high-res encoder (20-bit optional)
  • Insulation:​ Class F (155°C) or H
  • Protection:​ IP54/IP65 (depending on option)
  • Magnet:​ Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB)
Functional Features:
  • High torque density:​ Optimized magnetic circuit.
  • Low cogging:​ Smooth rotation at low speed.
  • Vacuum-impregnated windings:​ Enhanced thermal/insulation performance.
  • 90° rotatable connector:​ Flexible installation.
Material & Structure:
  • Stator:​ Laminated steel, copper windings with thermal sensor (PTC/KTY).
  • Rotor:​ Surface-mount or interior magnet, balanced.
  • Housing:​ Cast/aluminum with flanges.
  • Bearings:​ High-quality greased-for-life ball bearings.
Working Principle:
Standard 3-phase PMSM operation; drive commutates based on rotor position from feedback device to maintain orthogonal flux for maximal torque per amp.
Application Scenarios:
Large-format printing, metal forming presses, rubber/plastic extrusion, winder/unwinder tension control, heavy-duty material handling.
Installation Requirements:
  • Robust mounting face to handle high reaction torque.
  • Align load coupling to avoid side loads on bearings.
  • Use thermal monitoring (PTC) in drive for overtemperature protection.
Usage Precautions:
  • Large inertia — tune acceleration/deceleration limits to avoid bus overvoltage.
  • Ensure drive peak current capability matches motor peak torque demand.
  • Legacy model — confirm spare part/feedback compatibility before replacement.
