Product Description:

The AKD-P01206-NBS3-0000 is manufactured by Kollmorgen and belongs to the AKD Servo Drives series. Within an automation cell, this drive regulates torque, speed, and position of matched servo motors so that machinery follows programmed trajectories with minimal following error. By accepting commands from a higher-level controller and modulating its power stage accordingly, the unit functions as a compact motor controller for material-handling, packaging, and assembly equipment.

The drive accepts a single-phase or three-phase mains feed of 120 / 240 VAC 1~/3~; this dual-range input lets the cabinet connect to standard plant power without an external transformer. From that supply, it can deliver a continuous phase current of 12 Arms, which is the thermal steady-state output the connected motor may draw. For rapid accelerations, it supports a five-second burst of 30 Arms; this peak window allows inertia-laden axes to reach speed without oversizing the drive. Average input demand under full load is tied to a power rating of 3.82 kVA, a figure used when sizing branch circuit protection and estimating heat rejection. Motion commands and diagnostic traffic are exchanged over SERCOS III, giving the controller deterministic, sub-millisecond cycle times suited to coordinated multi-axis tasks.

A dedicated motion sequencer is built in through the Position Indexer drive version, letting the drive store point-to-point profiles locally and offload work from the PLC. The unit ships in the Standard USA customization, so markings, fuses, and connector kits follow North American conventions. It has no add-on I/O or safety board, which keeps the layout straightforward and leaves the base configuration unchanged. Despite these capabilities, the housing weighs only 2 kg, supporting high-density mounting within small enclosures while keeping vibration loads on DIN rails low.
