Product Description:
The AX2506-B510 is a single-axis digital servo drive produced by Beckhoff within the AX Digital Servo Drives series. The device regulates synchronous or induction motors in automated machinery, processing encoder data and issuing pulse-width-modulated current to keep position, speed, or torque within commanded limits. By integrating drive control, protection, and fieldbus communication into a compact chassis, it serves as a modular element for packaging lines, material-handling stations, and other motion subsystems in industrial automation. Its single-axis layout also suits machines that distribute motion functions across several compact drive modules.
Internally, the drive samples current and voltage at an 8 kHz clock frequency, providing the bandwidth needed for precise servo loop control. Continuous operation is supported by a rated output current of 6 Arms, while short overloads up to 12 Arms support rapid acceleration phases. Protection electronics trip if the DC link exceeds 450 V, helping prevent damage during regenerative events. The housing has an ingress protection rating of IP20, and its 100 mm width, 240 mm depth, and 267 mm height allow side-by-side mounting in crowded cabinets. Idle losses are 15 W and rise to 60 W at rated current, so panel airflow must remove the generated heat, while acoustic output stays below 45 dB(A) for low-noise cabinet operation.
From the supply side, an installed load rating of 7 kVA helps determine circuit breaker capacity and bus filter selection. The output stage tolerates load inductances from 7.5 mH to 40 mH, allowing connection to a wide range of motor windings without excessive current ripple. Integrated brake control supplies 1.5 A for holding brakes during idle states, so brake release and engagement can be handled directly by the drive. With a mass of 3 kg, the unit can be supported by standard DIN rail hardware and adds minimal stress to swing-out cabinet frames. This low mass also helps keep the overall cabinet assembly compact and manageable.
