Product Description
Within demanding industrial machinery, precision motion control places stringent demands on drive electronics. The AX5112-0000 from Beckhoff meets these needs with flying colors, providing unmatched sustained output. Its rated channel capacity delivers a robust 12 A to power even the largest actuators.
Where milliseconds matter, such as dynamic packaging applications, the drive can muster an exceptional peak of 26 A. This top-drawer surge capability allows for precisely timed high-torque maneuvers. Yet a forced air-cooled design keeps internal components within their optimal temperature window even during prolonged full-load operation. At the core of any smart machine lies a fast, deterministic control network. Here the AX5112-0000 excels through built-in EtherCAT connectivity. Freely configured I/O, parameterization, and coordinated multi-axis motion profiles transmit seamlessly between distributed nodes. Process variables synchronize with microsecond accuracy through this versatile open protocol.
Application range is further extended by the drive's wide ambient temperature tolerance from freezing to 50°C. It is at home in either harsh industrial zones or the relatively benign office environment. Encoders connect through popular SinCos 1 Vpp feedback, though optional resolver or serial protocols expand sensor choice. Tight packing demands in confined balers or composite wrap looms are no obstacle for the slim 230 mm deep design. Reliable operation continues even when subjected to constant machine vibrations, as key components are robustly housed and all connections positively locked. Certified approvals give global access to this trusted component. Together with a lifetime of field-proven firmware, Beckhoff drives excel at delivering continuity to automation systems. The AX5112-0000 demonstrates why this brand leads the industry in responsive, high-performance motion solutions demanding precision under pressure.
