B&R 8AC114.60-2

Model Number: 8AC114.60-2

Product Introduction:
The B&R 8AC114.60-2 is a dual-axis servo drive from the ACOPOS 10 product family. It provides two independent servo channels in a single compact housing, enabling synchronized two-axis motion control with full functionality per axis. Each axis operates with identical performance characteristics to the single-axis ACOPOS 10.
