Product Description:

The 15.F5.A1E-Y0GA is an axis drive in KEB’s F5 Combivert series. It converts a plant’s 400 V input into adjustable voltage and frequency for three phase induction or synchronous motors in automated equipment. A standard control board provides hardware monitoring and fieldbus connectivity, while the varnished cooling path helps shield the power stage from airborne contamination on manufacturing floors.

Command processing is precise, with 12 bit resolution on the analog channels and 2 analog inputs for speed or torque references. The drive also includes 8 digital inputs so switches and sensors can be tied directly into machine logic. Motor capacity reaches 15 HP, and the integrated braking transistor handles regenerated energy without requiring an external chopper.

A control cycle time of 1 ms supports quick response during load changes. The power stage allows short overloads up to 125 % of rated current, and protection trips at 150 % to help protect the IGBTs. Relay contacts rated at 30 VDC / 1 A can report ready or fault states to higher level control hardware.

Incremental encoder signals are accepted on feedback ports. This supports closed loop speed control and response when the axis must correct position after disturbances. Switch mode devices operate at 2 kHz to balance efficiency with noise during machine operation. This arrangement helps the drive fit packaging lines, conveyors, and material handling axes that need feedback and braking behavior. Wake Industrial offers same day shipping, backs the unit with a 1 year warranty, and provides the chat tool on the website for questions about fault codes or encoder settings.
