Product Description:
The AX5118-0000-0200 is a digital servo drive produced by Beckhoff as part of the AX Digital Servo Drives series. Within an automation cell, this unit receives three-phase mains power, conditions it through an internal DC link, and feeds controlled pulses to synchronous or induction motors. Its role is to stabilize speed loops, execute position commands, and absorb regenerative energy, making it a core component of material-handling stations, packaging machines, and general motion platforms. By combining power conversion and motion control in one housing, the drive supports precise axis response during acceleration, steady running, and deceleration.
It outputs a nominal phase current of 18 A in continuous S1 duty and can reach a peak of 36 A for short acceleration bursts. At 400 V supply, the apparent power available to the motor windings is 12.5 kVA, while the shared DC bus is held below a ceiling of 875 VDC. This intermediate circuit is buffered by a 1175 µF capacitor bank that supports stable voltage during dynamic load steps. The integrated brake chopper dissipates up to 26 kW internally and offers 200 W of continuous braking, permitting rapid deceleration without external hardware. Eight digital inputs allow drive-level control tasks, a 1 A sensor supply powers encoders, and the thermal design limits power loss to 255 W under rated load. When an external resistor is connected, the unit monitors it and manages the discharge sequence automatically.
The drive requires 185 mm of width, 317.70 mm of height, and 232 mm of depth for cabinet mounting, which aids dense multi-axis layouts. For energy peaks that exceed the internal absorber, an external circuit can dissipate up to 32 kW if the resistor value is not lower than 22 Ω. The housing carries a protection level of IP20, so installation inside a closed control enclosure is recommended to limit dust or liquid exposure. This enclosed mounting arrangement also supports orderly cable routing, and it leaves room for adjacent axes on a shared mounting backplate.
