Product Description:

The AX2526-B510 is a digital servo drive manufactured by Beckhoff within the AX Digital Servo Drives series. It interfaces with fieldbus-based motion controllers and delivers regulated three-phase power to synchronous motors, providing closed-loop position and speed control for packaging lines, pick-and-place gantries, and other automated stations. By modulating motor current in response to command and feedback signals, the unit helps connected axes accelerate, hold position, and decelerate with repeatable accuracy.

This model accepts an analog command range of ±10 V that is buffered by an input resistance of 20 kΩ, allowing direct connection to differential control outputs. Current regulation is executed at a control-loop clock of 8 kHz, which keeps torque ripple low even on low-inductance windings. During continuous operation, the drive supplies a rated output of 6 A rms, while transient demands can be met with a peak capability of 12 A rms. The output current form factor of 1.01 indicates nearly sinusoidal phase currents, reducing additional motor heating. Stable operation is supported for load inductances between 7.5 mH and 40 mH, so both compact and long-cable installations can be used without extra chokes. An enclosure rating of IP20 permits installation inside switch cabinets where touch-safe terminals and internal bus bars are already provided.

At full current, power loss reaches 40 W, and standby conditions draw only 15 W, simplifying cabinet cooling calculations. The housing measures 50 mm wide, 267 mm high, and 240 mm deep, enabling high-density side-by-side mounting on DIN rails. A mass of 1.7 kg keeps handling straightforward when assembling multiaxis racks. Acoustic output stays below 45 dB(A), so the drive can be used in operator areas without additional sound insulation. Low standby dissipation also helps limit heat buildup when an axis remains enabled but is not under heavy load.
