Kollmorgen AKD-P00606-NBA
Product Series: AKD-P — High-Performance Compact Servo Drives
Model Breakdown:
- AKD = AKD Product Line (Advanced Kollmorgen Drive)
- P = Power Stage Configuration (P = Standard Power, 6 A Continuous)
- 00606 = 6 A Continuous / 6 A Peak (006 = 6A cont, 06 = 6A peak)
- NBA = Configuration Code (No Brake Resistor, No Filter, No Options)
Detailed content
Product Introduction:
The AKD-P00606-NBA is a compact digital servo drive from Kollmorgen’s AKD-P Series, rated for 6 A continuous / 6 A peak output current. It is designed for single-axis motion control of AKM and B-Series servo motors. The “NBA” configuration indicates a base unit with no internal brake chopper resistor, no line-side EMI filter, and no extended I/O options — a minimal configuration for OEM integration where external components handle EMC and braking.

Functional Features:
- One-button auto-tuning for connected motor
- S-Curve profile generation with configurable jerk limits
- Electronic gear ratio up to 32:1
- Camming with up to 16 profiles
- Safe Torque Off (STO) — SIL 2 / PL c capable
- Following Error Window for position monitoring
- I²t Motor Protection with thermal modeling
Structural Features:
- Power Stage: MOSFET-based (unlike IGBT in S-Series) — optimized for 48 VDC bus
- Control: 32-bit DSP + FPGA
- Cooling: Convection-cooled (no fan in base config)
- Connectors: Pluggable terminal blocks for all I/O
Advantages:
- Ultra-compact footprint — ideal for space-constrained OEM designs
- 48 VDC bus eliminates need for 240 VAC mains in many applications
- EtherCAT native for high-speed synchronized multi-axis control
- Low cost entry point into Kollmorgen’s servo ecosystem
Applicable Industries:
- Collaborative robots (cobots)
- AGVs / AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots)
- Medical device actuators
- Small CNC axes
- 3D printers and additive manufacturing
Installation Requirements:
- Mount with minimum 50 mm clearance on all sides
- Connect 48 VDC bus (positive and negative) to power terminals
- Connect motor phases U/V/W to output terminals
- Connect feedback cable to J4 connector
- Ground chassis to protective earth
Usage Notes:
- NBA = No internal brake resistor — external brake resistor MUST be used for regenerative applications
- NBA = No line filter — add 5AF-1300-05 externally for EMC compliance
- Continuous 6 A output requires forced-air cooling above 35°C ambient
- Peak current duration limited to 2 seconds at 6 A
