Product Description:

The 16.F5.GBG-YA00 axis drive is produced by KEB and belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It functions as a variable-speed inverter that conditions incoming three-phase power so that induction or synchronous motors follow commanded speed or torque profiles. In an automation line, the drive closes the energy loop between the PLC and the machine, allowing rapid acceleration, controlled braking, and consistent throughput while reducing losses compared with fixed-speed starters.

Rated for a 400 V AC supply, the inverter modulates its output with an internal carrier set to 8 kHz, balancing dynamic response and motor acoustics. Within this voltage class, the F5 hardware delivers up to 20 HP of continuous mechanical power and can tolerate a phase-to-phase overcurrent of 216% before tripping. For short acceleration bursts, it supplies 180% of the nominal current, enabling heavy loads to reach the setpoint without derating. Because the unit supports both line power and a DC bus supply, it can operate on rectified front-end modules or directly on the incoming line. The control type is general, giving the drive a broad parameter set rather than an application-specific profile, while the standard cooling method relies on the integral fan and heat sink.

The mechanical envelope follows housing code G, which is a mid-size frame that integrates easily into 300 mm control cabinets. Power electronics inside correspond to inverter size 16, so cable cross sections, fuses, and braking resistors can be selected according to this rating across the product family. The drive accepts an AC/DC supply rail, which simplifies common-bus installations using shared regenerative energy. No encoder feedback card is installed, so speed estimation relies on sensorless vector routines provided by the Combivert F5 firmware.
