Product Description:
The AX5106-0000 is a digital servo drive built by Beckhoff within the AX Digital Servo Drives series. Intended for motion tasks in machining centers, packaging lines, and material handling cells, the unit modulates three-phase output to control synchronous or induction motors with closed-loop feedback. By coordinating motor torque with PLC setpoints, it supports precise positioning, speed regulation, and energy recovery in multi-axis automation systems. Its control behavior also suits applications that require frequent starts, stops, and synchronized axis movement during repeated production cycles.
The power stage has a nominal current of 4.5 A, while its three-phase supply path carries 6 A under rated conditions. During acceleration, the inverter can deliver a peak output of 13 A for short intervals. For low-power axes, the current loop can be limited to 0.5 A through parameterization. Energy from the rectifier is buffered by a 235 µF DC link capacitor that smooths bus voltage and supports transient demand. Eight optically isolated digital inputs accept homing, enable, and limit signals, and the built-in 1 A sensor supply powers linear encoders or proximity switches. This arrangement reduces the need for separate interface hardware and helps keep field wiring compact inside the control cabinet. Cabinet space is conserved by the 185 mm width and 232 mm depth, and internal switching losses reach 85 W during full-load operation.
The DC bus withstands up to 875 VDC, enabling the drive to share energy in regenerative multi-axis combinations. An integrated brake chopper converts kinetic overvoltage into heat; it absorbs 150 W continuously and tolerates bursts of 14 kW during rapid deceleration. When duty cycles exceed this internal threshold, an external resistor of at least 47 Ω can be connected, raising permissible braking power to 15 kW. The housing is rated IP20, so installation inside a ventilated control cabinet is required. Ventilated mounting also helps move heat away from the braking circuit and power electronics during repeated deceleration events.
