Kollmorgen BDS3-230/12-01-400
-
Product Name: BDS3 Series AC Servo Amplifier Module
-
Product Introduction: Legacy single-axis brushless servo drive from the Kollmorgen BDS3 family, designed for 230 VAC-class 3-phase input and analog velocity/torque control of synchronous servo motors in cabinet-mounted retrofits.
Detailed content
-
Technical Specifications:
-
Input Supply: 3 × 230 VAC (±10 %), 50/60 Hz
-
DC Bus: approx. 325 VDC
-
Continuous Output Current: 12 A
-
Peak Output Current: higher than continuous for short duration per BDS3 stack
-
Feedback Support: resolver or incremental encoder
-
Control Command: analog ±10 V speed or torque reference
-
Enclosure: IP20 chassis module
-
Cooling: natural convection or rack-assisted airflow
-
-
Functional Features: Current-limited PWM power stage; adjustable PI speed loop; fault LED indicators; overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage and short-circuit protection; mounts in BDS rack or standalone panel with separate DC bus supply.
-
Material / Structure: Sheet-steel housing; printed circuit board with discrete transistor/IGBT bridge; rear-edge connector for bus and control signals; front trim with potentiometers and status LEDs.
-
Working Principle: Rectifies 3-phase AC to fixed DC bus, synthesizes 3-phase sinusoidal current via PWM, regulates q-axis current from feedback device, closes outer speed loop via analog command.
-
Application Scenarios: Retrofit of 1990s–2000s machine tools, textile machines, winding/unwinding stations, single-axis packaging machinery using Seidel 6SM or early AKM motors.
-
Installation Requirements: Vertical mount in grounded steel cabinet; separate shields for power and feedback; 24 VDC control supply if required by rack; maintain specified air clearance above/below module.
-
Usage Notes: Obsolete product, no longer in Kollmorgen active catalog; suffix 01-400 denotes firmware/option configuration; never swap without verifying motor winding voltage and feedback type; do not run without DC bus precharge and earth protection.
