Product Description:
The AX5206-0000 is a digital servo drive manufactured by Beckhoff and assigned to the AX Digital Servo Drives series. It combines two inverter stages in one housing so that a single module can command paired axes within a machine tool, packaging cell, or material-handling gantry. By converting the DC link energy into precisely metered phase currents, the device generates closed-loop torque, speed, or position control signals that synchronize each connected motor with the master automation program.
This model incorporates 2 galvanically isolated output channels, each designed for a continuous current of 6 A. For short acceleration bursts, the power section can supply a peak device current of 26 A, giving the axes additional torque during rapid indexing. A total apparent power capability of 10.0 kVA at 480 V indicates the maximum reactive and real power that the drive can process without derating. Energy is buffered by a DC link capacitor rated at 470 µF; together with a programmable braking resistor, it absorbs regenerated energy and stabilizes the link. The internal bus can rise to a ceiling of 875 V DC, a limit that sets the overvoltage trip threshold and influences motor voltage selection. Storable energy of 85 Ws and a maximum continuous brake power of 90 W help dissipate excess kinetic energy, while the 274 mm height and 232 mm depth allow cabinet layouts to account for vertical and horizontal clearances.
Total semiconductor and magnetic losses amount to 160 W, data that assists in sizing panel ventilation or heat exchangers. The housing spans 92 mm in width, enabling tight side-by-side installation of multiple units on a DIN rail. Motion commands and diagnostic data move through the high-speed EtherCAT system bus. The drive profile follows IEC 61800-7-204 (SoE), which keeps the parameter structure consistent across the axis family.
