Kollmorgen AKD-P01207-NCE

Product Introduction:
The AKD-P01207-NCE is a single-axis servo drive from Kollmorgen’s AKD product family. The “P” denotes power stage, “01207” indicates a 12 A continuous / 24 A peak current rating with a 7 kW power capability at 48 VDC bus, and “NCE” specifies the communication interface as CANopen with absolute encoder support (C = CANopen, E = encoder type). This drive is designed for high-power single-axis motion control applications requiring robust performance and industrial network integration.

  • Electronic camming with up to 32 cam tables
  • Gear ratio configuration: 1:1 to 10000:1 (electronic)
  • Fault management: overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, encoder loss, following error
  • Kollmorgen Workbench software for full parameterization and real-time monitoring
  • Firmware upgradable via CANopen or EtherCAT (secondary port)

Applicable Industries:

  • CNC machine spindle and axis drives
  • Heavy-duty robot joints
  • Press and stamping machines
  • Large-format printing
  • Wind turbine pitch control
  • Marine propulsion actuators

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on DIN rail (35 mm) or panel with rear flange
  • Power cable: minimum 6 mm² copper, max 3 m from supply
  • Motor cable: shielded, max 15 m (unshielded: 5 m)
