Product Description

The AX2090-BW50-0600 external braking resistor from Beckhoff's AX series provides robust braking capabilities for demanding motion control systems. As a standalone unit offering continuous power dissipation of up to 6 kW, it reliably handles the stringent demands of factory automation equipment, robotic arms, and material handling machinery. Compatible with a wide assortment of AX5x01 through AX5112 digital drives, this resistor integrates seamlessly within multi-axis environments.

Through voltage-controlled activation coordinated by the drives, braking is precisely regulated for smooth and predictable deceleration. An internal 250W resistor aids smaller braking needs while the primary element safely disposes of bulk regenerative energies. Forced ventilation keeps components within their optimal operating zone even during continual use, extending component longevity. Installed externally from the main cabinet, the resistor conveys heat directly to the surrounding air without interfering mechanically. Accessibility is also enhanced for occasional maintenance needs. Communication occurs through EtherCAT, allowing diagnostic monitoring at all times. Parameters and operations seamlessly integrate into TwinCAT's control architecture.

Additional features like auxiliary capacitance optimize braking performance by buffering instantaneous power spikes. Complex braking modules are rendered unnecessary due to this resistor's standalone nature while still offering modules as an integration option. Commands from drives are executed promptly through voltage control for quick braking initiation without delayed response. Capable, versatile, and intelligently engineered, the AX2090-BW50-0600 becomes a central consideration for applications with substantial kinetic loads. Whether winders, metal stampers, or assembly robots, it supports stringent cyclical duty demands cost-effectively while simplifying overall cabinet design and wiring. In summary, this resistor represents a robust and reliable braking solution.
