Product Description:
The 16.F5.G1G-Y60A is an AC axis drive manufactured by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. Serving as a variable-frequency inverter, it adjusts motor voltage and frequency so automated machinery can follow coordinated speed and torque commands without mechanical gearing changes. Suitable applications include conveyor regulation, extruder screw control, pump operation, ventilation systems, and accurate indexing on positioning tables. The common F5 parameter structure provides a consistent interface for configuring motor behavior, acceleration ramps, current limits, and operating modes across compatible installations.
The electronic platform uses inverter size code 16, which establishes the applicable frame dimensions, cooling arrangement, and current capacity. Its mechanical layout follows housing form factor G, placing the power connections, control terminals, and keypad in fixed locations that support organized panel wiring. Dynamic stopping energy is handled by a built-in braking transistor, which directs regenerated power to an external resistor and helps prevent excessive DC-bus voltage during rapid deceleration. During standard operation, the drive relies on open-loop motor modeling to regulate the connected motor without requiring shaft feedback. Its internal algorithms apply flux vector control to maintain commanded torque as motor speed and load conditions change. This control method supports applications that require stable low-speed performance while retaining a relatively simple motor connection.
The drive has a Unit B rating of 20 HP at 230 V, providing output capacity for midrange motors used in industrial pumping, material handling, and air-moving equipment. For machines that require tighter speed accuracy, an encoder kit enables optional closed-loop regulation, allowing the control board to correct slip and load disturbances by using direct shaft feedback. The feedback option can improve speed stability during changing loads and support more accurate positioning when the application requires measured rotor movement. Regenerated energy passes through the braking circuit during deceleration, while the selected external resistor dissipates that energy outside the drive. Proper cabinet airflow and resistor sizing help the unit operate within its thermal limits during repeated acceleration and braking cycles.
