Product Description:

The AKD-B00306-NBEC-0000 is a digital servo drive produced by Kollmorgen within the AKD Servo Drives series. Positioned between a motion controller and a synchronous or induction servo motor, it regulates the current, velocity, and position loops required in automated packaging lines, pick-and-place systems, and general factory machinery. The unit’s form factor, connector layout, and network integration fit Kollmorgen’s modular drive ecosystem, supporting coordinated multi-axis motion when paired with the proper feedback and power stages.

Communication and synchronization with higher-level PLCs occur over EtherCAT, allowing distributed clocking and sub-millisecond update rates across multiple axes. The power input can be single-phase or three-phase at 120 / 240 Vac 1~/3~, so one model can be used on low-power laboratory benches as well as standard plant mains. Under continuous-duty S1 conditions, the internal power stage processes up to 1.2 kVA and delivers a motor phase current of 3 Arms. For short acceleration bursts, it can source up to 9 Arms for five seconds, giving extra torque without oversizing the drive. The current regulation loop is sampled at high frequency, so the motor windings see minimal ripple and commanded torque is reproduced accurately during demanding positioning tasks.

The drive supplied under the Standard USA customization ships with the factory-default parameter set and cables suited to North American wiring conventions. As the base version, it omits advanced safety layers while retaining the current and power capability described above. No add-on boards are required because the unit uses no hardware extension (rev 8+), which reduces panel depth and eliminates extra heat sources. At only 1.1 kg, the unit is light enough for DIN-rail installation on moving machine modules where mass must be minimized and mounting space is limited.
