Product Description:
The 18.F5.A1H-36DA is an AC axis drive manufactured by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It acts as a variable-frequency inverter that converts a fixed three-phase supply into regulated output power, allowing a connected induction or synchronous motor to accelerate, brake, and maintain speed under closed-loop control. The drive can coordinate motion on conveyors, form-fill-seal machines, and other industrial equipment that requires accurate torque management. Its closed-loop operation also helps the motor respond to changing loads while following the commanded speed or motion profile.
Internally, the drive carries a standard board that provides the basic analog and digital I/O, sensor inputs, and protective logic required for general-purpose motion tasks. Its power section is rated for motors up to 30 HP when the supply voltage is 480 V. This power rating corresponds to inverter size code 18, which indicates the heat sink capacity, semiconductor current capacity, and DC-link storage used in the unit. For rapid deceleration, the power stage includes a braking transistor that allows an external resistor to dissipate regenerated energy and keep the bus voltage within acceptable limits. Local interaction is provided through an LCD operator with Serial/CAN communication and a peak-output feature. This panel supports local parameter entry, networked control, status monitoring, and tracking of momentary load demand.
Panel and cabinet integration follows housing form factor H, so the mounting points and overall depth align with drives that use the same enclosure footprint. The D configuration supplements the base electronics with reinforced gate drivers and additional temperature sensing. These features expand the permitted switching-frequency range without reducing the motor power rating. Within the Combivert F5 architecture, the drive uses an organized connection layout that supports orderly routing of power, motor, feedback, and control wiring. The common enclosure format also helps maintain consistent spacing between adjacent drives in a multi-axis cabinet. Regenerated energy passes through the braking circuit during deceleration, while the temperature monitoring functions help protect the power stage during sustained operation. Serial and CAN communication provide options for exchanging commands and operating data with a higher-level machine controller.
