9. KBM Options
Allowed Modifications – Fees may apply
• Various Windings
Motor windings may be optimized to provide desired speed and torque
performance according to the unique voltage and current requirements
of a customer’s application. Kollmorgen engineers must confirm
electrical feasibility and manufacturability of each special winding
arrangement prior to quotation.
• Rotor Hub Dimensions
Rotor hubs may be provided with different customer-designated hole
patterns, mounting features or smaller inner bore diameters. Standard
KBM(S) models shown within this selection guide include the largest
available inner rotor bore diameter.

10. KBM Options
Allowed Modifications – Fees may apply
• Rotor Hub Material
Standard configuration KBM(S) rotor hubs are constructed from nonplated
cold rolled steel. If plating, coating, cleaning or alternate material
is desired, Kollmorgen engineers must confirm feasibility and pricing
adjustment prior to quotation.
• Stator Sleeve Material
Standard configuration KBM(S)-10, 14, 17, 25, 35, 45, 163 and 260
size stators are designed with uncoated aluminum sleeves around the
stator lamination stack. If coating or plating is desired for the aluminum
stator sleeve, Kollmorgen engineers must confirm feasibility and pricing
adjustment prior to quotation.

12. Customer Considerations …
Mechanical Mounting Considerations
• Customer’s own bearings
• Customer’s shafting / drivetrain
• Bearing precision here dependent more on customer machine requirements than frameless
motor requirements
• Run-out more dependent on customer requirements
• Air gap of 0.38 mm – 1.90 mm (.015 to .030 each side) needed for frameless motor
•Well below total TIR on most bearings (.004)
• Mounting; Bonding, Clamping, and Shrink fit options discussed in some detail in back of
KBM Selection Guide

13. Bonding
• Recommended for KBM Frame size 118XX and smaller
• Recommended Structural Epoxy:
• 3M Scotchweld 2214
• Hysol EA934NA
• Design Recommendations
• Cylindrical cup shape customer housing
• Locating shoulder for precise location
• Lead in chamfer to aid in assembly operation
• Maintain clearance over potted winding surfaces > 2 mm
• Slip fit with housing of 0.1-0.2 mm over stator OD max
• Adhesive grooves with extra slip fit gap of 0.13-0.26 mm
• Parts will “self-center” during cure by orienting in vertical axis
• Maximum Cure temperature of 155 C to prevent insulation damage
• Please Note that:
• Adhesive manufacture guidelines should be followed
• Other adhesives can be used 13
• Customer ultimately responsible for proper design of:
• Housing dimensions accounting for thermal effects
Sold & Serviced By:

15. Clamping
• Recommended for:
• Lower torque applications
• Applications requiring frequent disassembly
• Not recommended for:
• High shock and vibration applications
• Extreme temperature applications
• Design Recommendations
• Similar to bonding with some exceptions
• Slip fit with housing of 0.05-0.10 mm over stator OD max
• Separate clamp ring needed:
• At all tolerance conditions, 3-6 mm gap to housing recommended
• Secure with 4-12 fasteners equally spaced if possible
• Please note that:
• Customer ultimately responsible for proper design of:
• Housing and clamping ring 15
• Fastener selection to ensure adequate clamping force

17. Customer Considerations …
Electrical and Control Considerations
• Add feedback device [Frameless or shaft mounted]
• Same type of feedback as conventional servos; Encoder, Resolver, Absolute,
Incremental available for system use.
• Often the Harowe Size 31 or 55 thru-bore resolver will easily adapt to the mechanical
system.
• Maximum ID of 30 mm or 92 mm
• Resolvers rated to a standard 200 degree C level.
