Product Description

The AX5811-1 digital servo drive is a robust and high-performing solution for precision motion control applications. Featuring an innovative design from Beckhoff, it boasts industry-leading specifications that equip it for challenging industrial automation tasks. At the heart of the unit is a control architecture engineered to handle peak output currents of 22 amps while maintaining smooth, jitter-free motion. Supporting a wide DC link voltage range up to 875 volts, the AX5811-1 can handle power from virtually any machine configuration.

Versatility is another strength, with the AX5811-1 accommodating multiple feedback types. Whether using SinCos encoders, resolvers, or one of several serial interfaces, engineers have flexibility to work with their preferred feedback solution. Feedback accuracy directly impacts motion control quality, and the drive manages feedback data with rock-solid determinism. This ensures mechanics track profiles and switch between states flawlessly for line speeds, part handling, or any process requiring live dynamic control.

Reliable long-term operation is critical in industrial settings as production downtime ruins productivity and schedules. The AX5811-1 endures harsh conditions with an ambient temperature rating up to 50 degrees Celsius. Its compact design saves control cabinet space too. Inside, carefully selected components like premium capacitors handle thermal stress without fault even after many thousands of power-on hours. Minimal moving parts and conservative power ratings further enhance uptime. On the software side, profile compliance with IEC standard 61800-7-204 simplifies integration. Programming familiar SERVO drives with a PLC is intuitive. But networked communication represents the AX5811-1’s greatest strength, as it employs EtherCAT—the fastest industrial fieldbus available.
