Product Description:

The AX5203-0000-0X00 is a dual-channel servo drive produced by Beckhoff in the AX Digital Servo Drives series. It supplies regulated power to synchronous or induction motors and exchanges status data with PLCs, making it suitable for automation cells such as pick-and-place gantries or packaging lines. The unit combines current control, DC-link management, and brake handling in one housing, so it supports precise velocity and torque regulation while keeping related drive functions together. Because it operates as a two-axis unit, it can serve compact machines that need coordinated motion without requiring separate single-axis drives.

In normal duty, the two channels each deliver a nominal output of 3 A per channel, allowing continuous motor currents that match small to mid-frame servo actuators. For short motion bursts, the outputs can rise to 10 A per channel, while the device current limit of 20 A protects the internal semiconductors from overload. The DC link stores energy in a 470 µF capacitor bank and can be charged up to 875 VDC, giving the supply module a usable energy reserve during transient demand. A configurable 0.5 A minimum output supports low-level response tuning, and eight digital inputs permit position-related switching or fault acknowledgment. Overall power loss is 85 W during nominal operation, and the two-axis architecture reduces cabinet space and wiring.

Dynamic braking resources are sized for both internal and external dissipation. The integrated resistor can absorb 150 W continuously, a cabinet-mounted resistor allows up to 15 kW, and the internal circuitry tolerates peaks of 14 kW. Safe energy dumping requires at least 47 Ω of external resistance to limit current in the brake chopper. The housing is 317.70 mm high, 92 mm wide, and 232 mm deep, which supports side-by-side mounting with other AX drives while maintaining airflow. The braking arrangement also supports controlled deceleration when regenerated energy returns from the motors.
