Product Description:

The robust AX5118-0000 digital servo drive from Beckhoff delivers powerful motion control for high-demand applications. As part of the trusted AX Series, this high-performance device supplies a rated output current of 18 amps and handles short-term peaks of 36 amps. This ability to surge with over double the normal force handling makes it suitable for strenuous factory automation requiring rapid starts and stops.

Adhering to EtherCAT communication protocols, the AX5118-0000 integrates seamlessly into sophisticated control systems. EtherCAT delivers synchronous multi-axis coordination enabled by high-speed sync manager functions. The drive further supports SERCOS profiles, simplifying commissioning and operation. An ambient working temperature ranging from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius allows use in varied industrial settings without additional air conditioning requirements.

Weighing just 14 kilograms, the AX5118-0000 installs efficiently using modular components bolted to a heatsink base. Multiple drives mount side-by-side in a space-conserving footprint of just 185mm wide. Additional features like process, positioning, and electronic gearing modes provide flexible customization options. Compliance with CE, cULus, and EAC regulations lends further equipment safety assurances. Digital signal processors inside precisely regulate current levels for smooth rotation. Options to select from feedback interfaces such as Resolver, SinCos, EnDat, or Hiperface grant compatibility with various motor types. An integrated brake control circuit also controls attached motors during idle periods or power loss scenarios.
