Product Description:

The 10.F5.M1D-LBEA axis drive is produced by KEB and belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It is a variable-frequency inverter that interfaces with three-phase induction or synchronous motors to manage speed and torque in automated machinery such as conveyors, packaging stations, or processing lines. By adjusting output frequency and monitoring feedback, the unit maintains stable motor performance under changing mechanical loads.

The drive draws power from a three-phase network, so its input side is configured for 3 supply phases at a nominal 400 V. Under continuous duty, it delivers 4.0 kVA of apparent power and a current rating of 5.8 A, which indicate the continuous electrical load the inverter can support without derating. Vector regulation is executed through a field-oriented control algorithm, allowing precise flux and torque generation even at low speeds. It also includes 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 29 low-voltage control terminals for connection to PLC logic, sensors, and external setpoint sources. Inverter size code 10 and a built-in braking transistor further identify the unit and allow energy from rapid deceleration to be dissipated safely.

The drive has a short-time current rating of 10.4 A, enabling temporary overloads during acceleration or process upsets without tripping. When the braking transistor is active, up to 10 A of current can be routed through an external resistor no smaller than 82 Ω, preventing the DC bus from exceeding safe voltage limits. The heat sink may rise to 90 °C before thermal protection intervenes, so cabinet airflow must keep the substrate temperature below this threshold. This overload and braking behavior supports repeated starts, short reversals, and controlled deceleration in machines that cycle frequently.
