Kollmorgen

Kollmorgen is a motion control technology manufacturer whose products drive, position, and control axes of motion across industrial automation, robotics, and machine-building applications. Kollmorgen’s portfolio spans servo motors, servo drives, and motion control systems, with hardware installed across discrete manufacturing, packaging, semiconductor, food and beverage, and CNC environments where precise motion control is an operational requirement. PLC Direct supplies Kollmorgen servo motors for customers sourcing replacement components and installed-base hardware to maintain existing Kollmorgen-equipped motion systems.

Why Choose Kollmorgen Motion Control Products

Kollmorgen is recognized for a servo motor and drive portfolio designed to address demanding motion control requirements across a wide range of industrial machine applications. Kollmorgen products are built for applications that require high torque density, precise position feedback, and reliable dynamic performance across continuous-duty industrial cycles.

Kollmorgen servo motors and motion control hardware are commonly installed in:

Discrete manufacturing and industrial automation with multi-axis machine control
Packaging and filling lines requiring high-speed, high-precision motion
Robotics and automated assembly systems with coordinated axis control
CNC machining centers and metal fabrication equipment
Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing with precision positioning requirements
Food and beverage processing with washdown and hygiene-rated motion requirements
Warehouse automation and intralogistics systems requiring AGV and conveyor drive solutions

This presence across machine building and manufacturing reflects Kollmorgen’s emphasis on servo motors and drives engineered for precise, repeatable motion in demanding industrial duty cycles.

Kollmorgen Products and Solutions

Kollmorgen hardware at PLC Direct covers servo motors from multiple generations of the Kollmorgen product portfolio, supporting maintenance and lifecycle continuity for installed Kollmorgen-equipped motion systems.

Kollmorgen Product Families

AKM Series AC Servo Motors: The AKM series is Kollmorgen's synchronous AC servo motor platform, featuring permanent magnet brushless construction with rare-earth neodymium magnets for high torque density and a low-inertia rotor for fast dynamic response. AKM motors carry IP65 sealed construction and are compatible with Kollmorgen AKD and S700 series servo drives. The collection includes multiple AKM frame sizes and winding configurations. Confirmed part numbers include AKM11B-ANNS-02 (40 mm flange, ultra-compact frame) and AKM42J-GCC2R-01 (100 mm flange, medium frame with integrated 24 VDC holding brake), designed for precision motion control in industrial automation, robotics, packaging, semiconductor, and CNC applications.
DBL/DBK Series Synchronous Servo Motors: The DBL and DBK series are brushless three-phase synchronous servo motors featuring Neodymium permanent magnets in the rotor for high dynamic performance. These are legacy service products no longer available for new applications, but replacement motors remain available for installed-base maintenance. The collection covers multiple frame sizes and torque ratings across the DBL4, DBL5, and higher series. Confirmed part numbers include DBL5N02200-003M000000000, DBL5N02200-0002000300000, DBL5N01700-03S-000-S40, DBL5N01700-0R2-000-S40, DBL4N00950, DBL4N00950-0R2-DD0-S40, DBL4N00950-013M, DBL4N00750-03S-00K-S40, and DBL4H00260-0R2-000-S40, spanning 400/480 V three-phase operation at rated speeds of 3000 to 3600 RPM.
GoldLine B-Series Brushless Servo Motors: The GoldLine B-series are permanent-magnet AC servo motors with rare-earth magnets, low cogging torque, resolver feedback, and IP54-sealed construction. They are designed for CNC, robotics, packaging, and general positioning applications and are compatible with Kollmorgen ServoStar and BDS servo drives. Confirmed in the collection is the B-808-C-21, a frame 8, stack length 08, winding C configuration.

Lifecycle Support for Kollmorgen Industrial Systems

PLC Direct supports Kollmorgen-equipped machines and motion systems by supplying servo-motor hardware for active and aging Kollmorgen installations. Our focus is on helping maintenance engineers and procurement teams source the specific Kollmorgen hardware needed to return a motion axis to service without extended lead times.

Our support coverage includes:

Hardware for active Kollmorgen servo motor installations in manufacturing and machine-building environments
Legacy DBL/DBK series motors for older Kollmorgen-equipped systems still in operation
Select discontinued Kollmorgen servo motors, subject to availability.

Additional support may include:

Inventory-backed availability for urgent replacement requirements
Assistance with part number identification and order verification
Sourcing support for hard-to-find Kollmorgen servo motor configurations
1-year PLC Direct warranty on all purchased items

PLC Direct supplies Kollmorgen hardware for replacement and maintenance purposes and does not provide motion system design, commissioning, or integration services.

Frequently Asked Questions

We carry Kollmorgen servo motors across multiple product generations, including AKM series AC servo motors in multiple frame sizes and winding configurations, DBL/DBK series synchronous servo motors for legacy installed-base replacement, and GoldLine B-series brushless servo motors with resolver feedback. Contact us with your part number to check current availability and condition grade.

The AKM series is Kollmorgen’s synchronous AC servo motor platform, featuring permanent-magnet brushless construction with rare-earth neodymium magnets for high torque density and fast dynamic response. AKM motors are IP65 sealed and available in multiple frame sizes and winding configurations. They are compatible with Kollmorgen AKD and S700 series servo drives and are used across industrial automation, robotics, packaging, semiconductor, and CNC applications.

The DBL/DBK series are legacy synchronous servo motors that are no longer available for new machine designs but remain available as replacement motors for existing installed systems. The AKM series is a later-generation platform with a broader range of frame sizes, winding options, and feedback configurations. If your installed system uses a DBL-series motor, the replacement must match the exact DBL part number; substitution with an AKM motor requires drive and mechanical compatibility verification.

Kollmorgen servo motor part numbers encode the series, frame size, stack length, winding code, feedback type, shaft configuration, and options such as holding brakes and IP ratings. The most reliable source of identification is the nameplate on the installed motor. Contact us with the full part number from the motor nameplate to check availability. If the nameplate is unreadable, the machine’s electrical drawings or axis configuration documentation should specify the motor model at each drive axis.

As an independent supplier, PLC Direct stocks Kollmorgen servo motors outside standard OEM distribution channels, covering both current AKM series motors and legacy DBL/DBK series units for installed-base maintenance. This makes PLC Direct a practical sourcing option when a machine is down, and a replacement motor is needed quickly. Contact us with your part number to check current stock.
