Product Description:
Beckhoff manufactures the AX5206-0000-0202/DB as part of its AX Digital Servo Drives series. The dual-axis device functions as a power stage between a 400 V AC mains feed and synchronous or induction servomotors used in packaging, material-handling, and machine-tool installations. By rectifying the line and generating a shared DC link, the unit provides regulated current to two motor channels and recovers brake energy during deceleration for efficient industrial automation. Its two inverter channels can operate separate axes from one housing, which helps reduce panel space and supports compact multi-axis layouts.
At nominal supply, the drive feeds the DC link with an apparent power of 8.3 kVA. The link voltage can climb safely to 875 VDC during regenerative events, buffered by the common bus. Each channel supports a continuous output of 9 A; under single-phase wiring, the rating is 4.5 A, while three-phase operation allows 6 A. Overload peaks are absorbed by a device current of 26 A and a per-channel pulse limit of 13 A. A dedicated brake chopper handles 14 kW of internal switching energy and offers 90 W of continuous dissipation. When external braking is required, a resistor of at least 47 Ω may be connected so the drive can dissipate excess energy without exceeding thermal limits. This separation between supply conditions and output current allows the same platform to suit machines with different incoming power arrangements.
The internal DC link is buffered by a 470 µF capacitor array that moderates current oscillations during rapid torque changes. Mechanically, the housing measures 92 mm in width and 232 mm in depth, with a vertical span of 317.70 mm, enabling side-by-side mounting in 300-mm deep control cabinets. Typical conversion losses amount to 160 W, a figure that must be added to enclosure heat calculations. That heat must be removed through cabinet ventilation so nearby components remain within their permitted operating temperature range. With an external brake resistor attached, the drive can absorb 15 kW of kinetic energy per cycle, extending stopping capability beyond the 14 kW internal transistor limit. This added braking path is useful for axes with high reflected inertia or frequent deceleration.
