Kollmorgen AKD-B02406-NCA
Product Family: AKD-B Series Basic Servo Drive
Product Overview:
The AKD-B02406-NCA is a single-axis servo drive from the AKD-B line. The “02406” denotes a 24A continuous current rating (12A RMS per phase). The “NCA” suffix indicates a North American variant with EtherCAT primary, CANopen secondary, and specific firmware/connector configuration.

Functional Features:
- EtherCAT cyclic synchronization — 1 ms cycle time
- CANopen DS402 profile support
- Safe Torque Off (STO) — SIL 2 / PL c
- Position following error limit and velocity window monitoring
- Current control bandwidth: 1.6 kHz
- Velocity control bandwidth: 400 Hz
- Position control bandwidth: 200 Hz
Advantages:
- High current capacity in a compact form factor
- EtherCAT master/slave flexibility
- No motion controller cost — offload to PLC or CNC
- Suitable for high-inertia loads up to 24A continuous
Applicable Industries:
Heavy-duty conveyors, large CNC machines, injection molding, press machines, metal forming, woodworking centers
Series: AKD-B (Basic drive)
Installation Requirements:
- DIN rail or panel mount with minimum 15 mm clearance (higher current = more heat)
- Use 6 AWG power cables for 24A continuous current
- Shielded EtherCAT cable (CAT5e or better)
- Ground chassis to PE — do not float ground
Usage Notes:
- Derate current by 10% per 10°C above 40°C ambient
- For EtherCAT: configure PDO mapping for CSP mode (0x6040–0x6041)
- Do not parallel outputs — each axis requires its own drive
- Firmware updates via Kollmorgen Workbench — back up parameters first
