Product Description:

The AKD-P01206-NBPN-0123 is a servo drive manufactured by Kollmorgen and included in the AKD Servo Drives series. It is designed to regulate torque, velocity, and position of brushless servo motors used in automated machinery, packaging lines, and material-handling axes. By housing the control electronics and power stage in a compact enclosure, the drive acts as the link between a motion controller and the motor. It converts digital commands into regulated power while processing feedback signals that keep motion accurate during starting, running, and stopping.

The drive delivers a continuous output of 12 Arms, which is enough to operate mid-frame motors at rated torque without thermal derating, and it can furnish up to 30 Arms for five-second overload events such as rapid acceleration. This overload capacity helps the axis respond to short demand spikes without immediately reducing output. A bus capability of 3.82 kVA indicates the apparent power required from the upstream supply, which supports installations where multiple axes share the same feeder. The input accepts 120 / 240 VAC single-phase or three-phase, allowing flexible wiring in control cabinets. Command and diagnostic data travel over PROFINET RT, so cyclic setpoints, status words, and alarms can be exchanged with PLCs through standard Ethernet infrastructure without special gateways.

Position loops are executed internally because the drive uses the Position Indexer version, which removes the need for an external motion card on standalone axes. The hardware extension is not included on revision 8 and later units, so the base board provides the required functions without plug-in options. A transport mass of 2 kg simplifies mounting and reduces the load on lightweight panels. The lower mass is also useful when the drive is installed on compact machine sections where available panel space is limited.
