SKT Series Linear drives convert rotation into linear motion – for high axial loads Product advice Technical details Downloads Functional The SKT hollow-shaft motors combine a powerful servo motor with axial bearings and a mounting for ball screws. A spindle-nut system turns them into linear actuators ready for direct use. SKT motors are designed for high axial loads and are used in press applications or as hydraulic replacements, for example. Available both as a blind hole or with continuous hollow shaft. The continuous hollow shaft means that there is no need for separate rotary feedthroughs. Flexible The linear drives are adaptable – in terms of output, spindle diameter and axial force. There is also the choice of a version with a continuous or a one-sided closed hollow shaft, for unlimited or limited stroke. Direct efficiency Direct efficiency Direct coupling of the hollow shaft with a spindle increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall system. In addition, its extremely high rigidity enables high control loop gain and precise linear movements.

Pressemitteilung AMKmotion auf der SPS: Lösungen so individuell wie die Kunden Die SPS 2026 (24. bis 26. November) in Nürnberg ist für AMKmotion die wichtigste Messe des Jahres. In Halle 4, auf Stand 210, präsentiert der Entwickler und Hersteller elektrischer Antriebssysteme sein erweitertes und optimiertes Portfolio. Im Mittelpunkt stehen kundenspezifische Lösungen, hohe Leistungsdichte und dezentrale Antriebstechnik für energieeffiziente und kompakte Maschinen- und Anlagenkonzepte. „Unsere Kernkompetenz liegt darin, so tief in die Applikationen einzusteigen, dass unsere Lösungen optimal auf die jeweiligen Kundenanforderungen abgestimmt sind“, sagt Alexander Hipp, Director Sales & Customer Solution Center bei AMKmotion. Bereits in der Konzeptionsphase arbeitet das Unternehmen eng mit den Entwicklern seiner Kunden zusammen, um die Möglichkeiten der Individualisierung frühzeitig auszuschöpfen. Dabei bündelt AMKmotion das gesamte Know-how aus Entwicklung und Produktion im eigenen Haus. „Wir bauen auf dem Standardportfolio auf und stimmen unsere Lösungen gezielt auf die jeweilige Applikation ab“, beschreibt Fabian Georg, Global Key Account Manager bei AMKmotion. Angepasst werden können unter anderem Software, Gehäuse und Kühlkonzept, ebenso Welle, Lagerung, Geber, Bremse, Schnittstellen und Wicklung des Motors. Das beeinflusst auch die Auslegung des Umrichters. „Für Maschinenbauer kann sich das positiv auf Bauraum, Verkabelung, Schaltschrankgröße, Energiebedarf und damit auf die Gesamtkosten auswirken“, berichtet Georg. „Dieses Maß an Individualisierung ist ein klares Alleinstellungsmerkmal.” AMKmotion zeigt unter anderem die Synchron-Servomotoren mit Hohlwelle der Baureihe SKT. Sie eignen sich für Anwendungen mit hohen Axialkräften, arbeiten leise und bieten einen hohen Integrationsgrad. Deshalb stattete beispielsweise ein Sondermaschinenbauer seine servoelektrischen CNC- Drückmaschinen mit SKT-Motoren aus. Die Spindelmutter wird direkt mit der Motorhohlwelle verbunden, Riemen und Kupplungen entfallen. Dadurch wird Pressemitteilung die Konstruktion kompakter, steifer und präziser, während der Motor die Axialkräfte direkt aufnimmt. „Der SKT 10 wird bei den Anwendungen gemeinsam mit den Konstrukteuren angepasst“, erläutert AMKmotion-Kundenbetreuer Stefan Hildebrandt. „Die dabei optimierte Wicklung kann die Betriebsströme senken, die thermische Belastung reduzieren und den Wirkungsgrad im Dauerbetrieb verbessern.“ Mehr Dynamik und Effizienz Ein weiteres Exponat ist der neu entwickelte Synchron-Servomotor DIP. AMKmotion bietet ihn je nach Anforderung in einer konvektions- oder flüssigkeitsgekühlten Ausführung an. Der DIP verbindet hohe Dynamik, Leistungsdichte und Effizienz mit einer kompakten Bauform. Die flüssigkeitsgekühlte Variante kommt zum Einsatz, wenn besonders hohe Dynamik und Leistung gefragt sind. Gegenüber marktüblichen Lösungen erreicht sie bis zu 30 Prozent mehr Beschleunigung und ein um bis zu 32 Prozent höheres Maximalmoment. Mit einem Wirkungsgrad von bis zu 97 Prozent zählt der DIP zu den effizientesten Servomotoren seiner Leistungsklasse. Ein optimierter Magnetkreis ermöglicht bis zu 20 Prozent mehr Drehmoment bei gleichem Strom. Eingesetzt wird er in hochdynamischen Anwendungen, unter anderem beim Stanzen und Schneiden, in Servopumpen sowie in Förder-, Verpackungs- und Spritzgießsystemen. Mit dem dezentralen Servoumrichter iC präsentiert AMKmotion zudem eine Lösung mit integrierter 5-Kilowatt-Versorgungseinheit. Der iC kann als Einzelgerät eingesetzt werden und dient als Spannungsversorgung, wenn im Daisy-Chain-Verfahren weitere Servo-Wechselrichter verbunden werden. Für die AC-seitige Netzeinspeisung ist lediglich eine ungeschirmte Zuleitung erforderlich. Das vereinfacht die elektrische Installation. Optional ist eine Ausführung mit FSoE verfügbar. Die iC-Baureihe ist auf die Anforderungen des Cyber Resilience Act vorbereitet. Ergänzend unterstützt das Engineering-Tool AIPEX bei Konfiguration, Parametrierung und Diagnose. Bremsenergie systemweit nutzen Pressemitteilung Auf der SPS erfahren Besucher auch, wie sich zentrale und dezentrale Antriebstechnik zu durchgängigen, energieeffizienten Gesamtlösungen verbinden lässt. „Mit dem Hybridverteiler KHY werden zentrale KE/KW- Systeme und dezentrale Antriebe zu einem gemeinsamen Zwischenkreis verknüpft, sodass Bremsenergie systemweit genutzt werden kann“, erklärt Volker Schwarzkopf, Produktmanager bei AMKmotion. Ergänzend lassen sich im KE/KW-System zentrale Speichermodule einsetzen. Sie erweitern die Kapazität des Zwischenkreises und ermöglichen es, Energie zwischenzuspeichern. Dadurch lassen sich Versorgungseinheiten kleiner auslegen, größere Bremswiderstände vermeiden und kurzzeitige Leistungsspitzen aus der gespeicherten Energie decken. Durch den Einsatz rückspeisefähiger KES-Geräte wird die beim Bremsen entstehende Energie nicht in Wärme umgewandelt, sondern in das Stromnetz zurückgespeist. Lediglich für den Fall eines Netzausfalls oder einer Störung wird ein kleiner Bremswiderstand benötigt. Das reduziert den Leistungsbedarf, die Verlustleistung, die Wärmeentwicklung und senkt so den Kühlbedarf. Für dezentrale und hybride Konzepte bietet AMKmotion rückspeisefähige Lösungen bis 180 Kilowatt. Auf dem Messestand informieren die Experten über ein Praxisbeispiel: die Laserschneidmaschine ByCut Eco von Bystronic. AMKmotion kombinierte dafür zentrale und dezentrale Komponenten. Der dezentrale Aufbau spart nach Angaben des Maschinenbauers elf Kabel in der Energiekette, schafft Platz im Schaltschrank und erfüllt die Anforderungen an Dynamik, Bahn- und Teilegenauigkeit sowie Wirtschaftlichkeit. Am Messestand zeigt AMKmotion zudem eine Schwenkeinheit für Anwendungen in der industriellen Fertigung. Sie veranschaulicht, wie sich Prozesse wie Greifen, Stanzen oder Schweißen mit hoher Dynamik auf engem Bauraum realisieren lassen. Der direkt am Motor platzierte Wechselrichter bildet gemeinsam mit der dezentralen Einspeisung, dem integrierten Motion Controller und dem Synchron-Servomotor ein kompaktes Antriebssystem. Das reduziert den Verkabelungsaufwand und schafft Platz im Schaltschrank. Zugleich erhöht die Lösung die Flexibilität bei der Auslegung von Automatisierungsaufgaben.

Press release AMKmotion at SPS: solutions as individual as our customers SPS 2026 (November 24–26) in Nuremberg is AMKmotion’s most important trade show of the year. At Booth 210 in Hall 4, the developer and manufacturer of electric drive systems will be presenting its expanded and optimized portfolio. The focus will be on customized solutions, high power density and decentralized drive technology for energy-efficient, compact machine and system concepts. “Our core expertise lies in understanding applications in such depth that our solutions can be optimally tailored to each customer’s requirements,” says Alexander Hipp, Director Sales & Customer Solution Center at AMKmotion. The company works closely with its customers’ development teams from the concept phase onward to take full advantage of customization options at an early stage. AMKmotion brings together all of its development and production expertise in-house. “We build on our standard portfolio and tailor our solutions specifically to the application,” explains Fabian Georg, Global Key Account Manager at AMKmotion. The software, housing and cooling concept can all be customized, as can the motor’s shaft, bearing configuration, encoder, brake, interfaces and winding. This also affects the design of the converter. “For machine manufacturers, this can have a positive impact on installation space, cabling, switch cabinet size and energy requirements, and therefore on overall costs,” says Georg. “This level of customization is a clear unique selling point.” Among the products AMKmotion will be showcasing are the hollow shaft synchronous servo motors of the SKT series. Suitable for applications involving high axial forces, these operate quietly and offer a high degree of integration. For example, a manufacturer of special machines has equipped its servo- electric CNC metal spinning machines with SKT motors. The screw nut is connected directly to the motor hollow shaft, eliminating the need for belts and couplings. This makes the design more compact, rigid and precise, while the motor accommodates the axial forces directly. “The SKT 10 is customized for each application in close cooperation with the design engineers,” explains Stefan Hildebrandt, Customer Account Manager at Press release AMKmotion. “The optimized winding can reduce operating currents and thermal loads while improving efficiency in continuous operation.” Increased dynamics and efficiency Another product on display is the newly developed DIP synchronous servo motor. AMKmotion offers it in convection-cooled or liquid-cooled versions, depending on the requirements. The DIP combines high dynamic performance, power density and efficiency with a compact design. The liquid-cooled version is used when particularly high dynamic performance and power are required. Compared with conventional solutions on the market, it delivers up to 30% greater acceleration and up to 32% higher maximum torque. With an efficiency of up to 97%, the DIP is one of the most efficient servo motors in its power class. An optimized magnetic circuit provides up to 20% more torque at the same current. It is used in highly dynamic applications, including punching and cutting, servo pumps, and conveying, packaging and injection molding systems. AMKmotion will also be presenting the decentralized iC servo converter – a solution with an integrated 5 kW power supply unit. The iC can be used as a standalone unit and serves as a power supply when additional servo inverters are connected in a daisy chain. Only an unshielded supply cable is required for the AC-side grid connection. This simplifies electrical installation. A version with FSoE is also available as an option. The iC series is designed to meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act. In addition, the AIPEX engineering tool supports configuration, parameterization and diagnostics. Using braking energy throughout the system At SPS, visitors can also learn how centralized and decentralized drive technology can be combined to create continuous, energy-efficient system solutions. “The KHY hybrid distributor connects centralized KE/KW systems and decentralized drives to a common DC bus, allowing braking energy to be used throughout the system,” explains Volker Schwarzkopf, Product Manager at AMKmotion. Central energy storage modules can also be used in the KE/KW system. They increase the capacity of the DC bus and allow energy to be stored temporarily. This allows power supply units to be designed with lower ratings, eliminates the need for larger brake resistors and enables short-term power peaks to be covered using the stored energy. Press release With KES units featuring energy recovery capability, the energy generated during braking is fed back into the power grid instead of being converted into heat. A small brake resistor is required only in the event of a power outage or fault. This reduces power requirements, power loss and heat generation, thereby reducing cooling requirements. For decentralized and hybrid concepts, AMKmotion offers solutions with energy recovery capability up to 180 kW. At the booth, AMKmotion experts will present a real-world application: the ByCut Eco laser cutting machine by Bystronic. For this application, AMKmotion combined centralized and decentralized components. According to the machine manufacturer, the decentralized design eliminates eleven cables from the energy chain, frees up space in the switch cabinet and meets the requirements for dynamic performance, path and part accuracy, and cost- effectiveness. AMKmotion will also be showcasing a swivel unit for industrial manufacturing applications at its booth. It demonstrates how processes such as gripping, punching and welding can be performed with high dynamic performance in a compact installation space. The inverter mounted directly on the motor, together with the decentralized power supply, integrated motion controller and synchronous servo motor, forms a compact drive system. This reduces cabling requirements and frees up space in the switch cabinet. At the same time, this solution provides greater flexibility when designing automation tasks.
