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

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.

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.

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.

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

»Cable Diameters:

• 0.595” for Hybrid Cable or Power Cable 12A and less motors (6” Bend radius)

• 0.65” for Hybrid Cable or Power Cable above 12A, but less than 20A (6.5” Bend radius)

• 0.46” for secondary feedback cable (4.6” Bend radius)

»Bend radius limited to 10X diameter static, no dynamic rating

»Exceeding the bend radius can potentially cause permanent damage to cable properties or premature failure

»Color to RAL 2003 standard

»Chemical resistance to most acids and bases within the PH range of 2 to 12

»Not UV resistant
