Bearings type for Servomotor AKM42E | 30 Sep 2019 | |

Bearings type for Servomotor AKM42E

We are using a servomotor type AKM42E for acoustic measurements in anechoic chamber.

It would be useful to know the type of the bearings mounted in such a servomotor. The idea is to know the following data to recognize some features in the acoustic spectrum:

- type of the bearing (brand, type),

- number and radius of  spheres,

- radii ot the external and internal wheels,

- contact angle.

Thank you,

Fabio

Fabio,

Thank you for joining KDN, and inquiring about AKM bearings.

The only data published / released for AKM's are the motor connectors used and the feedback manufacture's + feedback types used. 

Internal motor data/part specifics are not released.

Dear Mike,

I understand.
So, the only possibility is to disassemble the whole motor (losing the guarantee)?
are there no other possibilities?

Thank you,
Fabio

If you choose to disassemble the motor, the warranty is void, and the feedback alignment (required for commutation) is lost. AKM motors factory ship aligned with a MOTOR.PHASE (or MPHASE) value of 0 electrical degrees. All feedback devices are aligned during factory testing.
