Kollmorgen S61401-PB

Product Introduction:
The S61401-PB is a member of Kollmorgen’s SERVOSTAR 600 series, designed as a compact single-axis servo amplifier for medium-power industrial automation. It converts control signals into precise three-phase motor currents using Space Vector Modulation (SVM) and supports multiple feedback and communication protocols.

  • Plug-in detachable screw terminals and D-sub connectors for feedback/I/O
Application Scenarios:
  • Small-to-medium CNC machines
  • Automated assembly lines
  • Printing and packaging machinery
  • Textile machines
  • Medical diagnostic equipment
Structural Features:
  • Book-style compact housing for control cabinet mounting
  • DIN rail or panel mount compatible
  • Integrated braking control circuitry
Working Principle:
Receives position/speed/torque commands from a PLC or motion controller via fieldbus or analog/pulse interfaces, processes them through a digital current loop, and generates SVM-modulated three-phase PWM output to drive brushless servo motors with high precision.
Installation Requirements:
  • Install inside a grounded control cabinet with adequate clearance for airflow
  • Ensure proper separation from high-noise power lines
  • Use correctly sized fusing and external regenerative resistors if required
Usage Precautions:
  • Do not exceed rated bus voltage (up to 675 VDC link typical)
  • Verify motor inductance and current match before commissioning
  • Perform autotuning only with the load mechanically safe
