Kollmorgen BDS420623412W32

Product Name:​ BDS4 Series Digital Servo Drive (Legacy Goldline-era Drive)
Product Introduction:​ The BDS420623412W32 is a legacy Kollmorgen BDS4 digital servo amplifier, historically paired with Goldline series servo motors. It provides closed-loop control for torque, speed, and position.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications (Typical BDS4 class):
  • Input Voltage:​ Typically 310 VDC bus (derived from 230 VAC rectified input)
  • Output Current:​ Model-dependent; BDS4A-class often around 3–5 A/phase continuous
  • Control Architecture:​ Digital signal processor-based with configurable gains
    Functional Features:
  • Configurable via proprietary software or DIP/rotary switches depending on revision.
  • Supports resolver and incremental encoder feedback (model-specific).
  • Adjustable current limits, velocity limits, and PID parameters.
    Structural Characteristics:
  • Rectangular industrial enclosure with screw-terminal connections.
  • Front-panel or top-mounted connectors for motor power and feedback.
  • Integrated heat sink with possible forced-air cooling in higher-current variants.
    Application Scenarios:
  • Legacy machine retrofits, printing presses, textile machines, packaging lines originally equipped with Goldline systems.
    Installation & Usage Notes:
  • Obsolescence caution: many BDS4 units are discontinued; verify spare part availability.
  • Matching motor inductance and feedback type is critical due to limited auto-configuration.
  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions are essential during setup due to older PCB technology.
