Product Description:

The 09.F5.C1B-3A0A axis drive unit is manufactured by KEB and belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It is designed for closed-loop speed and torque regulation of AC motors. This type of control supports repeatable speed changes and stable torque delivery during synchronized machine cycles. The drive interfaces with PLCs to coordinate multi-axis motion in packaging, material-handling, and general automation cells. A footprint mounting style lets the unit sit directly on the cabinet backplane, which helps keep motor and control wiring short.

The drive connects to an industrial mains supply rated 3-Ph 400 V, making it suitable for installations that use that nominal line voltage. Under continuous operation it supplies 4.1 A to the motor, which sets the thermal sizing of cables and protection devices. Its inverter stage is rated for 1.5 kW of mechanical output, matching small induction or synchronous machines used on auxiliary axes. The internal gate drivers operate at a carrier frequency of 8 kHz, which balances switching noise and power loss during normal operation. During acceleration or other transient events, the current can rise to 8.9 A, and the integrated braking transistor routes regenerated energy to an external resistor so the DC bus stays within a safe voltage range.

When lower acoustic noise or finer torque control is needed, the switching devices can be set to a maximum carrier of 16 kHz, although that setting increases heat inside the enclosure. Conducted emissions are limited to EMC category C1, which supports use in sensitive control panels without additional external filtering in many installations. The plastic-metal composite housing has an IP20 rating, so the terminals are finger-safe but the unit is not protected against water entry. The enclosure stands 249 mm tall, and the housing is 90 mm wide and 200 mm deep. The narrow width helps conserve panel space where several motion axes are installed side by side.
