Product Description:

The AX8206-0000-0000 belongs to the AX Digital Servo Drives series manufactured by Beckhoff. As a dual-channel AC servo inverter, it converts the three-phase mains into a regulated DC link and coordinated pulse patterns for paired motors. The unit is installed in control cabinets to automate axes in packaging machines, handling robots, and general-purpose machinery where accurate velocity and position control are required. This format is useful when two related axes must be grouped in a compact drive section of the cabinet.

Control electronics are powered from the 24 V auxiliary supply, and the drive draws 570 mA from this line, a figure that helps size control-circuit power supplies. Internal dissipation during standby is limited to a basic heat load of 12 W, allowing dense cabinet layouts with moderate cooling. The DC-link capacitor bank stores 135 µF, smoothing regenerated energy during braking and limiting peak bus voltage. Under nominal switching at 8 kHz, the two channels can deliver a combined steady current of 12 A, while the controller still maintains full current regulation bandwidth. Motor speed is set by carrier-based output pulses that can reach 599 Hz, permitting use with high-speed spindles or linear motors that demand elevated electrical frequencies.

The nominal current available to each axis is 6 A, and applications that briefly exceed this rating can call on a channel-wide reserve of 8 A at 8 kHz without derating. For rapid acceleration, the power stage withstands peak bursts of 20 A at 400 VAC, providing ample torque overhead. A separate brake output supplies 1 A for holding brakes on vertical axes. Cabinet planning is simplified by the drive’s physical format, which includes a front-panel width of 60 mm and supports side-by-side stacking on DIN rails. Power loss during load operation averages 11 W per ampere, information used for thermal calculations when multiple drives share an enclosure.
