Customer Visibility Throughout the Entire Process

A communicative and proactive approach keeps you

updated and aware of what is required throughout,

what it will cost, and what to expect for design testing.

This not only puts you in charge of approving any

modifications before installation, but ensures the

product is up and running quickly, with minimal

development time and maximum value.

Engineering Excellence

What really sets us apart is our engineering expertise.

With over 50 years of successfully designing custom

motors, we are able to quickly assess, design and

implement a solution that meets your needs.

Our engineering team has decades of experience

in motor design, which means they have designed

solutions for almost every unique and challenging

situation. Their insightfulness and expertise will guide

you through the development and implementation of

an optimized motor solution.

We rely on the most advanced simulation tools to

deliver the best products, designed to withstand the

most unique and challenging environments.

Modified Standard

Because our application expertise runs deep and our

product portfolio is so broad, we can take any standard

product and modify to different degrees to suit your

specific needs – without significant sacrifice of lead time

or cost. This approach ensures quality, performance

and reliability by leveraging our proven track record.

Kollmorgen application engineers have a great deal

of experience helping OEM engineers achieve their

objectives. Typical motor modifications include: shaft,

housing, winding, feedback type, mounting and connectors.

Project Management

We follow a structured development process from

initial concept to volume production. This enables

us to provide a complete solution from design to

implementation.

Our skilled engineering team is assigned to each

project and ensures a high quality product designed

and delivered on time, successfully taking the prototype

to full production.

• Dedicated Resources & Equipment

• Real Time Customer Collaboration

• Validation of Performance, Cost &

Manufacturability Before Volume Production

Tubing Specifications:

Optional food-grade tubing should be utilized where the motor cable is routed

through a zone in which the cable could contact food. For standard offerings of food

grade tubing consider Connector and Cable Options: F, G, T and W for a single motor

cable (i.e. hybrid motor and feedback cable) or Options: G, M and W for dual cables

The food-grade tubing is FDA approved material certified by the NSF 51 standard.

AKMH™ Co-Engineered Solutions

With modified and custom AKMH solutions, you can rely on

decades of Kollmorgen expertise to solve your motion challenges

and help your machine stand out from the crowd.

Brake Option

Holding Brake

The holding brake is designed to provide motor shaft static holding torque with the brake coil

de-energized. The brake must first be released (coil energized) prior to commanding motion as

determined by its drop-out time. The optional brake is intended for stationary motor holding, or

“parking,” and is NOT intended for dynamic braking (i.e. There should be absolutely no intended rotor

motion when power is removed from the brake coil to physically engage brake.).Cable Options

Integrated Cable Material Specifications and Characteristics

Specifications:

»600 Vac+ 105°C rated, Multi-conductor shielded composite cable

»Four motor power, two brake with shield, two communication conductors with shield plus overall shield

»Motor Power conductors are 14 or 12 AWG, meeting required standards of NFPA79 (Electrical standard

for Industrial machinery),  EN-60204-1 (Safety of Machinery-Electrical equipment of Machines), IEC 60364-

5-52 (Wiring Systems) without the use of additional motor overload protection as required by motor

rating

»Communication channel, 110 ohm(± 10) nominal impedance, high speed digital communication device

»Agency classifications: UL, CSA, CE, RoHS*

» IP69K wash-down rated jacket material

»Not food contact rated

Tested properties with respect to cleaning agents

The testing lab of ECOLAB Deutschland GmbH tested the resistance of the external surfaces to the

following industrial cleaning agents:

» P3-topactive DES

» P3-topax 12

» P3-topax 56

» P3-topax 66

» P3-topax 990

In the process, the surfaces were immersed in the respective cleaning agent at 21°C temperature for 28

days. This corresponds to approx. 2.500 cleaning cycles with 15-minute contact each with the cleaning

agent or 1.500 cleaning cycles with cleaning and subsequent disinfection. Due to the possible relaxation

after each treatment in practice the chemical attack would be even lower.

Kollmorgen can only give a guarantee for the motor’s lifecycle if the tested cleansing agents are used.

Contact Kollmorgen Customer Support for information on motor use with alternative cleaning agents.

AKMH™ Hygienic Design Guide

Hygienic Design

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and

Human Services.

The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and

supervision of food safety, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices and other

products.

The “European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group” (EHEDG) is a European-based non-government

organization devoted to the advancement of hygienic design and food engineering. European legislation

requires that handling, preparation, processing, packaging, etc. of food is done hygienically, with hygienic

machinery in hygienic premises (the food hygiene directive, the machine directive and the food contact

materials directive).
