Product Description:

The AKD-P02406-NBEC-0000 is a servo drive produced by Kollmorgen for the AKD Servo Drives series. As a compact panel-mount unit, it closes the current, velocity, and position loops for brushless servomotors, delivering precise motion profiles for pick-and-place robots, indexing tables, and continuous-feed web processes. By acting as an intermediary between the incoming AC supply and the motor windings, the product keeps torque linear with command signals while protecting the power stage from overloads and line disturbances. This control arrangement supports repeatable starts, stops, and speed changes in automated machinery that requires consistent axis response.

The drive accepts an AC supply of 120 / 240 Vac 1~/3~, so it can operate from either single-phase or three-phase sources. Once energized, the power module supplies a continuous phase current of 24 Arms; during acceleration or short mechanical impacts, it can rise to 48 Arms for up to five seconds without triggering fault limits. The apparent power demand is 7.6 kVA, which is used to size upstream fuses, contactors, and line reactors. Motion commands are exchanged over EtherCAT, enabling cycle times below one millisecond and synchronizing multiple axes through distributed clocks. This communication method also supports coordinated axis timing without separate step-and-direction wiring.

The unit uses the Standard USA customization variant, so its markings and defaults suit North American installations. It has a mass of 3.7 kg, which helps limit panel loading in compact control cabinets. The controller operates as a Position Indexer and stores target positions internally, advancing through them by digital triggers to reduce fieldbus traffic. Internal indexing supports repeated moves without sending every position command from the network. The drive has no hardware extension on revision 8 and later, which preserves its original width for tight enclosures.
