Kollmorgen AKD-B02406-NBA

Product Introduction:
The AKD-B02406-NBA is a high-current Ethernet servo amplifier in the AKD “B” (480 Vac 3-phase, book-style) platform. It supplies 24 Arms continuous and 48 Arms peak for roughly 5 seconds, supporting up to 8 kW continuous output at 400–480 Vac. It is intended to drive AKM4, AKM5, and smaller AKM6 motors, or pairs of lower-current axes via a shared DC bus. The drive integrates STO-capable safe torque off, full resolver/encoder feedback support, and all major industrial Ethernet protocols.

Materials and Structure:
  • Folded sheet-steel chassis, powder-coated
  • Aluminum heat sink with longitudinal fins on rear
  • PCB with conformal coating on control section
  • Detachable front connector blocks
  • Fan-less convection cooling for 24 A class (aux fan not required below 40 °C)
Working Principle:
The drive rectifies the 3-phase line to a DC bus, then uses IGBT PWM inverter stages to synthesize sinusoidal phase currents. Rotor position from the feedback device closes the current loop; the velocity and position loops run on the DSP. STO removes gate drive enable when safety circuit opens.
Installation Requirements:
  • 3-phase supply on L1/L2/L3 with proper fusing or MCCB
  • 24 Vdc logic supply from isolated PSU
  • Shielded motor cable, shield grounded at drive end 360°
  • Feedbacks on separate shielded cable, not bundled with power
  • STO wires must follow ISO 13849-1 / IEC 61800-5-2 routing
  • Vertical mount only; do not block top/bottom ventilation slots
Application Scenarios:
  • CNC rotary tables
  • Filling and capping machines
  • Robot joint actuators (mid-size)
  • Converting machinery unwind/rewind sections
  • Test rigs and servo-hydraulic replacement axes
Usage Notes:
  • NBA suffix = base drive, no extra option cards, standard firmware, US label
  • Pair with AKM42/52/53/62 class motors for correct current match
  • Do not run 24 A continuous in cabinet ambient above 45 °C without forced air
  • Regeneration energy above bus limit must be dissipated in external resistor
  • Firmware and motor parameters are backed up through WorkBench, not on-board MMC (unlike S700)
