Product Description

The Beckhoff AX5021-0000-0000 is a powerful and efficient servo drive from the AXE Digital Servo Drive Series, designed for heavy-duty and high-energy applications. This device includes a built-in 250 W brake resistor for managing braking energy, while also offering the option to connect an external brake resistor with a capacity of up to 6 kW. This makes the AX5021-0000-0000 well-suited for applications that involve significant regenerative energy, providing flexibility to handle high-energy braking scenarios.

The drive uses forced cooling to ensure efficient operation, preventing overheating during intensive use. It features a brake chopper, which helps manage excess energy by converting regenerative braking energy into heat. Additionally, the DC link expansion capacity allows for the storage of brake energy, which is especially useful in dynamic applications where rapid braking is frequent. The auxiliary capacitance is rated at 705 µF, further supporting the energy management capabilities of the drive. Connectivity and parameterization are streamlined through the EtherCAT interface, allowing for easy diagnosis and configuration via the System Manager. The device also uses AX-Bridge for connection, ensuring quick and reliable communication between devices. The voltage-controlled brake resistor is automatically activated when the DC link threshold is exceeded, ensuring that the system remains stable during periods of high energy regeneration.

The AX5021-0000-0000 is designed to be installed outside the control cabinet, which prevents excess heat from affecting other components. It is durable and built for heavy-duty use, making it ideal for high-energy applications where braking energy must be managed efficiently. With its regenerative energy conversion system, this drive can support a wide range of motors, including synchronous servomotors, linear motors, and asynchronous motors, making it versatile for a variety of industrial automation systems.
