Product Description:

The AKD-M02406-M1EC-0000 is a single-axis servo drive produced by Kollmorgen within the AKD Servo Drives series. This unit acts as the power and control interface between a PLC or motion controller and the motor on an automated axis. By modulating output current in real time, it closes the torque, velocity, or position loop that keeps pick-and-place stations, packaging lines, and conveyor axes operating accurately. Its compact format makes it suitable for control cabinets where axis density and predictable response are both important.

The drive can deliver a continuous armature current of 24 Arms, giving mid-frame motors stable thermal operation under full duty. For short overloads, it supplies up to 48 Arms for five seconds, so accelerations or load shocks can be absorbed without tripping protection circuits. Mains compatibility is broad because the input bridge accepts 120 / 240 Vac 1~/3~ supplies, allowing the same hardware to be wired to single-phase or three-phase sources. The converter has an apparent power rating of 7.6 kVA, which indicates the input-side power capacity of the unit. Motion modules and PLCs communicate through EtherCAT, supporting fast data exchange for coordinated multi-axis profiles.

The drive is provided in the Standard USA customization variant, so its labeling and default settings match North American control panels. Internally, the unit is classified as Motion Control, meaning the onboard processor can execute interpolation and camming instead of relying entirely on an external PLC. Processing is supported by the Motion Card 1.2 GHz extension, which increases trajectory calculation capacity and leaves the fieldbus free for I/O traffic. Despite these resources, cabinet space is conserved because the housing weighs only 3.7 kg and mounts in the same pattern used across the AKD Servo Drive family.
