Product Description:

The 16.F5.A1G-36MA is an AC axis inverter produced by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It converts fixed-frequency line power into a variable voltage and frequency output so that connected motors can accelerate, decelerate, and hold precise speeds in automation cells. By carrying out these functions electrically, the drive eliminates mechanical speed-change components and allows conveyor segments, winders, and positioning stages to stay synchronized with PLC-based command sequences. That control method supports repeatable speed changes without relying on belts, stepped pulleys, or other mechanical adjustment devices.

This model is built on size code 16, a frame category that sets both the enclosure dimensions and the current capacity for medium-power installations. A general rating of 20 HP lets the drive handle motors up to 15 kW without derating in matching applications. Core logic is supplied by the Standard Board, which provides the baseline interface and parameter structure used for this product line. Excess regenerative energy is handled through the integrated braking transistor, so decelerating loads can be managed without a separate external chopper stage. The gating pattern and filter network are tuned for 230 V mains, helping the inverter operate within its intended electrical range during acceleration, steady-speed operation, and controlled stopping.

Mechanical installation follows housing code G, which sets the height, width, and mounting centers for standard switchgear layouts. The Unit B suffix identifies the assigned operating class for this version, and the installed control board matches the configuration used by this model. These selections keep the internal control format aligned with the intended power stage. The housing profile also helps the drive fit cabinet arrangements that rely on fixed mounting locations and consistent equipment spacing.
