Product Description:

The AKD-T00306-NBAN-0000 is a servo amplifier produced by Kollmorgen within the AKD Servo Drives series. It is intended to regulate torque, speed, and position of synchronous or induction motors in industrial automation cells. It can be used on single-axis or coordinated multi-axis equipment where accurate motor response is needed during starts, stops, and directional changes. By providing closed-loop control between the motion controller and the motor, the drive supports precise axis performance in packaging machinery, material handling lines, and other systems that require repeatable motion. Closed-loop operation lets the drive correct deviations caused by load changes while keeping commanded motion profiles consistent.

The drive has a nominal output current of 3 Arms, which is the continuous phase current available during S1 duty. For short acceleration bursts, the peak current rises to 9 Arms for up to five seconds to provide extra torque. It operates from a mains source of 120 / 240 Vac 1~/3~, allowing single-phase or three-phase installation, and its apparent power draw is 1.2 kVA. Motion commands are received through an analog interface rather than a digital network, and the drive uses the BASIC feature set. This power range suits compact cabinet installations that need modest continuous current with short overload capability.

The unit uses the Standard USA variant, so labeling, parameter defaults, and safety markings follow North American conventions. It has no hardware expansion on revision 8 and later units, which means the standard I/O is already built in and no auxiliary option card is installed. The lack of an option card keeps the standard housing layout unchanged. With a mass of only 1.1 kg, the drive can be DIN-rail mounted beside PLCs without placing a high load on the rail. Its low mass also helps when components are mounted on crowded back panels or narrow DIN rails.
