Page 9: Safety Warnings
The optional thermal sensor in the stator windings (PT100 / PT1000) must be wired to the control circuit of the application to make sure that the motor temperature is supervised and the motor is protected from overheating. Verify the winding temperature never exceeds 155 °C. Kollmorgen® | kdn.kollmorgen.com | March 2025... -
Page 10: Magnetic Field
Recommendations in this document are intended to serve as general installation NOTE guidelines and are for reference purpose. Kollmorgen assumes no responsibility for incorrect implementation of these IMPORTANT techniques, which remain the sole responsibility of the user. 4.7.1 Metallic Objects Strong magnetic fields attract metallic objects and create potential safety hazards for hands and fingers. -
Page 11: Warning Signs
The conformity of the BLM motor to the standards mentioned in the CE Declaration of Conformity is only guaranteed when installed in accordance with the "Mounting and Installation Guidelines" (➜ p. 15). See "Approvals" (➜ p. 61). Kollmorgen® | kdn.kollmorgen.com | March 2025... -
Page 12: Prohibited Use
Commissioning the motor is prohibited if the machine in which it was installed: Does not meet the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive. Does not comply with the EMC Directive. Does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive. Kollmorgen® | kdn.kollmorgen.com | March 2025... -
Page 13: User Interface Responsibilities
Kollmorgen assumes no responsibility for incorrect implementation of these techniques, which remain the sole responsibility of the user. BLM motors, as well as any other Kollmorgen frameless brushless motors that are IMPORTANT supplied as 2-piece rotor/stator components, should be installed by the user according to the general installation guidelines. -

Page 17: Grounding
Typically, if the stator is mounted using electrically conductive metallic components, then a robust ground path between stator stack and machine chassis is inherently achieved. Kollmorgen suggests performing a continuity check to confirm proper ground path before enabling the motor system. -
Page 18: Rotor Mounting
BLM Installation Manual | 7 Mounting and Installation Guidelines 7.6 Rotor Mounting Kollmorgen’s BLM series and other frameless brushless motors utilize high-performance rare earth magnets. Use extreme caution when handling or transporting to avoid injury and product damage. The attractive forces between magnetized rotors and nearby metallic objects can be extremely powerful. -
Page 19: Axial Alignment Control
BLM Installation Manual | 7 Mounting and Installation Guidelines 7.6.1 Axial Alignment Control Kollmorgen’s model-specific outline drawings note axial alignment that must be maintained between rotor and stator when mounted to ensure proper motor performance.
