Kollmorgen BDS5A-206-0001
Product Series: BDS5A (Compact Digital Servo Drive Family)
Product Introduction:
The BDS5A-206-0001 is a compact single-axis digital servo drive manufactured by Kollmorgen, designed for cost-effective motion control in machine automation. It integrates a servo amplifier, motion controller, and I/O in a single housing, eliminating the need for a separate motion controller in many applications.

Applicable Industries:
- Packaging machinery
- Material handling
- Textile machines
- Printing presses
- Light industrial automation
Installation Requirements:
- Mount vertically with adequate airflow clearance (minimum 50mm on all sides).
- Use shielded motor cable (maximum 10m recommended).
- Ground the drive chassis to PE terminal with ≤ 0.1Ω resistance.
- Do not install near high-frequency welding equipment.
Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed 340VDC on the DC bus — use a regulated power supply.
- Ensure encoder cable shield is grounded at one end only (drive end).
- Perform Auto-Tune after every mechanical change to the load.
- Derate current by 10% per 10°C above 40°C ambient.
