Kollmorgen SR55000-000000

Product Introduction:
The SR55000-000000 is a Kollmorgen external braking resistor designed to absorb regenerative energy generated by servo drives during deceleration or overhauling load conditions. The “55000” in the model number denotes a 550 W continuous power rating with 0 Ω (zero) ohms of series resistance built in — this is a pure power resistor with no additional impedance. The “000000” suffix indicates standard configuration with no special options.
