The AKMH is designed to meet the toughest hygienic requirements at a time of evoving food safety regulation. As cleaning procedures change AKMH will still an excellent solution. 
 
The AKMH servo motor is constructed to provide long-life and trouble free operation, even with daily exposure to chemical cleaning agents and high-pressure wash-downs.The use of highly corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel along with purposely designed thermoplastic elastomer cable jacket allow both motor and cable to withstand high pressure spray or low pressure hose down without restrictions. An innovative vented cable design prevents ingress of water or cleaning agents into the motor during heating and cooling cycles and extend the life of the motor even in the toughest environments. The AKMH requires no additional protection and can be sanitized without covering or removal from the machine. The AKMH conforms to EHEDG, NSF, BISSC, and 3-A design guidelines.
 
AKMH motors can be combined with award winning AKD drives to provide complete and optimized systems. AKD drives provide industry leading performance and a single cable design that reduces the number of cables in the wash-down area by 50%. In addition the AKD-N decentralized drive option can further reduce cabling and cabinet size by allowing the drives to be located outside the cabinet in areas adjacent to the wash-down zone. These drive options combined with 19 different motor sizes will provide an optimized solution to almost any motion application.
