Kollmorgen introduces the AKME Series of hazardous location servo motors with ATEX and IECEx certification for use in locations that require Zone 2 and Zone 22 ratings. Built on the proven performance, quality and reliability of the AKM servo motor platform, the AKME series allows machine builders to achieve new standards of compact, versatile performance in environments involving ignitable gases or dusts.
AKME servo motors are available in IEC frame sizes 2-7 to work with drives powered by 48, 75 Vdc, 120, 240 or 400 Vac and speeds up to 5,000 rpm. The series supports a wide range of feedback options, including resolver, SFD-M, ComCoder, EnDat, Hiperface and BiSS B options. The motors are also ideally matched with AKD, AKD2G and Kollmorgen Essentials™ (KED) servo drives to deliver optimum torque density, responsiveness and precision in a complete, feature-rich motion solution. The AKME servo motors give more options to engineers than ever before to fit a more cost-effective, HazLoc motor to their Zone 2 and Zone 22 machine applications.
Globally certified for hazardous environments
The AKME series joins Kollmorgen’s existing portfolio of motors for hazardous environments with extensive global certifications. It has earned ATEX certification under the European Union safety standard for equipment used in potentially explosive environments, including gas Zone 2 and dust Zone 22 locations. It has also earned IECEx certification under the global standard that ensures the safety of equipment and personnel in explosive atmospheres, as established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
