Product Description

The AX2090-BW51-6000 external braking resistor is ideal for multi-axis applications utilizing Beckhoff's AX5000 servo drives with high-performance requirements. The integrated braking resistor for the AX5000 drives works quite well under normal circumstances; however, such is the extreme conditions in which the AX2090-BW51-6000 can be employed, that it is definitely an extra resource for brakes.

Consequently, this module allows connecting external braking resistors such as the AX2090-BW51-6000, which has a continuous power of up to 6 kW and resistance of 23.2 Ω. Stand-alone brake units incorporate a failsafe brake module, for example, low power (250 W) internal brake resistor, forced cooling, and break chopper for controlling regenerative energy make it effective for regenerative energy use.

Barring the space of installation of the components, the AX2090-BW51-6000 can be mounted away from the control cabinet and that reduces the loss of heat inside the electrical cabinet and enhances the operating time and efficiency of the system. The DC link resistance electric breaker converts braking energy to heat once regenerative energy in excess of a preset threshold on the DC link energizes it. With dimensions of 455 x 255 x 490 mm (W x H x D), the AX2090-BW51-6000 weighs 12 kg which makes it easy to handle and a welcome integration to multi-axis systems. The connection of the AX2090-BW51-6000 to the multi-axis system is achieved using the AX-Bridge module making it convenient to put into place. The embedded EtherCAT interface adds up to the motion control audience that provides parameterization and diagnosis using System Manager. To sum up, the AX2090-BW51-6000 should also be high braking energy solution towards every AX5118 to AX5140 in a drive which works out appropriately in the field of motion control management of energy recovered from the braking.
