Product Description:

The AKD-T01206-NBAN-0000 is a digital servo drive manufactured by Kollmorgen for the AKD Servo Drives series. Classified within the AKD Servo Drive product family, this unit links a motion controller to a brushless servo motor and adjusts voltage and current in closed loop to maintain precise torque, speed, and position. The drive therefore serves as a compact axis amplifier for automated packaging lines, pick-and-place gantries, and other machinery that require coordinated, high-response motion.

It accepts a single- or three-phase input of 120 / 240 Vac 1~/3~, so panels can run the same hardware from either low- or medium-voltage mains without a transformer. Under continuous duty the drive draws up to 3.82 kVA, a figure used for circuit protection and cable sizing. Motor phase current is regulated at a nominal level of 12 Arms, which defines the thermal matching range for most 750 W to 2 kW servomotors. For rapid acceleration the current can rise to 30 Arms for five seconds, giving extra torque during indexing moves. Despite these electrical ratings, the housing weighs only 2 kg, allowing high-density mounting on DIN rails or backplates where mass and inertia must be minimized.

The controller supplied for the Standard USA customization variant is tuned for North-American safety and EMC practices, streamlining UL panel certification. Its firmware is the BASIC drive version, which provides the core velocity and position loops used by the current and power limits described earlier without optional advanced motion blocks. Communication with the host automation layer relies on Analog command inputs, so velocity or torque references can be delivered from legacy PLC modules through ±10 V or 4–20 mA signals. Because the unit ships with None (rev 8+) hardware extensions, spare card slots remain available, giving machine builders a clear expansion path without altering the electrical footprint calculated above.
