Kollmorgen AKD-P00306-NCA
Model Number: AKD-P00306-NCA
Product Introduction:
The AKD-P00306-NCA is a high-performance servo drive from Kollmorgen’s flagship AKD product line. It delivers 30 A continuous output current and features advanced motion control, EtherCAT communication, and built-in functional safety (SIL 3 / PLe). The “NCA” suffix denotes a specific configuration variant for North American markets with certain default parameters.

Advantages:
- EtherCAT primary interface — deterministic, sub-millisecond cycle times
- Built-in functional safety — eliminates need for external safety relay
- Compact footprint for 30 A class drive
- Kollmorgen Workbench software for full configuration and diagnostics
Applicable Industries:
High-speed packaging, printing, metal forming, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, woodworking, glass cutting
Installation Requirements:
- Mount with minimum 100 mm clearance on all sides for airflow
- DC bus pre-charge resistor is internal — do not bypass
- EtherCAT cable: shielded CAT5e/CAT6, maximum 100 m between nodes
- Connect protective earth (PE) to chassis with < 0.1 Ω impedance
Usage Notes:
- Derate output current 1.5% per °C above 40°C ambient
- Do not operate without heatsink/fan — thermal shutdown occurs at 125°C junction
- Configure STO and SS1 parameters before first power-on for safety compliance
- Use Kollmorgen AKD Configuration Tool (part of Workbench) for all parameter setup
