1.2.2 Use as directed
The AKM series of synchronous servomotors is designed especially for drives for industrial
l
robots, machine tools, textile and packing machinery and similar with high requirements for
dynamics.
The user is only permitted to operate the motors under the ambient conditions which are
l
defined in this documentation.
The use of Washdown motors is allowed in environments with caustic acids and bases with
l
respect to the defined conditions on page (➜ # 19).
The use of Washdown Food motors is allowed in applications with indirect contact to food
l
and beverage.
The AKM series of motors is exclusively intended to be driven by servo amplifiers under
l
speed and / or torque control.
The motors are installed as components in electrical apparatus or machines and can only be
l
commissioned and put into operation as integral components of such apparatus or machines.
The thermal sensor which is integrated in the motor windings must be observed and eval-
l
uated.
The holding brakes are designed as standstill brakes and are not suited for repeated oper-
l
ational braking.
The conformity of the servo system to the standards mentioned in the CE Declaration of
l
Conformity (➜ # 207) is only guaranteed when the components (servo amplifier, motor,
cables etc.) that are used have been supplied by Kollmorgen.
1.2.3 Prohibited use
The use of the Standard Motors is prohibited
l
directly on mains supply networks,
o
in areas where there is a risk of explosions,
o
in contact with food and beverage,
o
in environments with caustic and/or electrically conducting acids, bases, oils, vapors,
o
dusts.
The use of the Washdown Motors is prohibited
l
directly on mains supply networks,
o
in areas where there is a risk of explosions,
o
in contact with food and beverage,
o
in environments with acids or bases with pH value below 2 or above 12,
o
in environments with acids or bases that have not been tested by Kollmorgen.
o
The use of the Washdown Food Motors is prohibited
l
directly on mains supply networks,
o
in areas where there is a risk of explosions,
o
in direct contact with food and beverage.
o
Commissioning the motor is prohibited if the machine in which it was installed
l
does not meet the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive,
o
does not comply with the EMC Directive,
o
does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive.
o
Built-in holding brakes without further equipment must not be used to ensure functional
l
safety.
