Product Description

The versatile AX2020-AS digital compact servo drive from Beckhoff delivers robust and responsive motion control capability. As part of the established AX Digital Servo Drive Series, this device combines a compact footprint with extensive integration features and flexibility. Capable of delivering up to 20A of nominal current, it drives a variety of motor technologies for both standalone and synchronized multi-axis applications.

To support diverse automation needs, the AX2020-AS accommodates several popular Beckhoff motor platforms including the AM2xxx, AM3xxx, AL2xxx, and AL3800 series. Its built-in filters suppress electromagnetic interference from both mains and auxiliary voltages, maintaining accuracy even in electrically noisy environments. Control modes include torque, speed, and position schemes to meet different control paradigms. Extensive connectivity options including EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, and SERCOS ensure easy integration into common fieldbus architectures. Pairing fast EtherCAT with integrated drive technology enables tightly synchronized coordination of motion axles. Plug-in terminals provide cost-effective cabinet installation. A 32-bit microprocessor executes control algorithms with sampling times below 62μs for highly dynamic systems.

Hardware and software compatibility with the proven AX2500 series expands implementation flexibility. Engineers can leverage existing logic, visualizations, commissioning workflows, and support networks. Programmable process, jog, and reference signals fine-tune control behavior for customized positioning sequences. Weighing just 1.4kg, the compactly constructed AX2020-AS installs directly on machine structures or in minimized cabinets. Its plug-in connections aid swift setup and simplified maintenance access. Beckhoff backs its quality and performance with an extensive support structure.
