Product Description:

The AKD2G-SPE-6V12S-A100-0000-A is a single-axis member of the AKD2G Servo Drives series produced by Kollmorgen. As an AKD second-generation drive, it regulates torque, velocity, and position for brushless servomotors used in automated machinery. Its EtherCAT interface connects the drive to real-time motion networks, while the integrated position indexer and motion tasks support standalone sequencing without a separate PLC. Compatibility with either single-phase or three-phase 120/240 Vac power supplies allows the unit to serve packaging, material-handling, and general automation applications. Its compact housing is intended for installation in control cabinets where available mounting space is limited.

During motion, the drive delivers a continuous output current of 12 Arms and can reach 30 Arms per phase for up to 5 seconds when acceleration requires additional torque. The current loop operates at 3000 Hz, while the PWM bridge switches at 15 kHz to provide precise current regulation. Position corrections are processed every 250 µs, and velocity updates occur every 62.5 µs to maintain responsive servo control on high-bandwidth machines. The electronics are housed in a Servo IP20 enclosure that protects users from accidental contact with internal components while permitting cabinet airflow. EtherCAT clock synchronization coordinates the drive’s control updates with commands from the motion network.

Energy returned from decelerating loads is handled by an internal resistor that dissipates 100 W continuously and up to 9 kW for 0.5 seconds during brief braking events, helping prevent DC-link overvoltage. Integrated safety includes STO and safe inputs rated SIL 2 and PL d, supporting safe torque off and guard-monitoring functions. The X21 terminal block provides standard inputs and outputs for devices such as homing sensors and fault relays, while factory-installed connectors simplify wiring. The hardware uses MAP Revision A and a standard printed circuit board layout. The enclosure measures 76 mm wide, 221 mm deep, and 235 mm high, and the complete drive weighs 2.4 kg.
