| Operating Temp | 0°C to +50°C (derate above 40°C) |
Construction & Materials:
- Enclosure: Aluminum die-cast, IP20, compact form factor
- Connectors: M12 for power/feedback/EtherCAT, integrated (no external wiring harness needed)
- PCB: 4-layer, conformal coated
- Power Stage: IGBT with intelligent power module (IPM)
- Cooling: Convection-cooled (no fan)
Functional Features:
- Plug-and-play wiring — M12 connectors eliminate screw terminals
- Auto-configuration — drive detects motor parameters automatically via EnDat/BiSS-C
- Electronic gear ratio up to 2³²:1
- Cyclic synchronous motion — deterministic multi-axis coordination via EtherCAT DC mode
- Compensation filters — 3 configurable notch/low-pass filters
Working Principle:
Same cascaded control architecture as other AKD drives. EtherCAT master sends Process Data Objects (PDOs) at configurable cycle times (125 µs to 1 ms). The drive executes current loop at 32 kHz, velocity loop at 4 kHz, position loop at 1 kHz.
Advantages:
- Smallest AKD form factor — fits in tight spaces, ideal for OEM integration
- Fanless design — zero acoustic noise, suitable for cleanroom and medical environments
- M12 connectors — rapid installation, vibration-resistant connections
- Auto-configuration — reduces commissioning time by up to 60%
Applicable Industries:
Laboratory automation, medical devices, semiconductor equipment, small robotics, precision assembly, optical equipment
Installation Requirements:
- Mount with 2× M4 screws or DIN clip
- Minimum 30 mm clearance on all sides for convection cooling
- Use shielded CAT5e for EtherCAT (max 100 m)
- Connect 24 VDC auxiliary (max 200 mA) for logic
- Ground PE to chassis
Usage Notes:
- Fanless design limits continuous current to 80% of rated at ambient >35°C
- Use Kollmorgen Workbench for parameter configuration — do not modify parameters via handheld without backup
- EtherCAT cycle time below 250 µs requires specialized master configuration
- Firmware updates require USB connection via Kollmorgen Workbench
