Product Description:

The AX8206-0000 is a two-channel digital servo drive manufactured by Beckhoff in the AX Digital Servo Drives series. Designed to interface with synchronous and asynchronous motors, the unit regulates torque and velocity in multi-axis equipment such as packaging stations and pick-and-place modules. By combining current control with a DC link supply, it converts three-phase mains power into a modulated output that a motion controller commands with high resolution. In an automation cell it acts as the electrical intermediary that delivers precisely metered current to each motor phase so that motion matches programmed setpoints.

Under cabinet power the drive draws 24 V at 570 mA, so the auxiliary supply can remain small. Dissipation is limited to a 12 W basic power loss, and energy for dynamic braking is buffered by a 135 µF DC link capacitor. Installation depth of 192 mm keeps the unit flush with shallow enclosures, while connections stay accessible from the front. During deceleration the integrated chopper delivers up to 1 A of brake current, and commanded motion is synthesized up to 599 Hz. Continuous output starts at 1 A and reaches a rated 6 A per channel, enabling direct operation of mid-frame servo motors.

The thermal model scales with line voltage: power dissipation is 9 W/A at 230 VAC, rises to 11 W/A at 400 VAC, and reaches 12.5 W/A at 480 VAC, so cabinet cooling must be matched to the selected mains. Even with these figures the aluminum housing stands only 60 mm wide and 230 mm high, making side-by-side mounting possible on high-density drives. Transport and service are uncomplicated because the unit weighs just 2 kg. These mechanical dimensions, together with the specified losses, help integrators calculate enclosure airflow, transformer capacity, and brake resistor sizing when finalizing multi-axis systems.
