Product Description

The AX2010 from Beckhoff is a part of their AX Digital Servo Drive Series. It is intended for use in dynamic motion control applications. Its 10 Ampere-rated output current provides a constant and unbroken power supply for the linked motor, enabling precise and dependable operation. For tasks requiring more torque or acceleration, the drive may provide a maximum current of 20 amps. The AX2010 can effectively handle demanding motion profiles and transient loads as a result of these features. Because the drive can operate with a wide range of supply voltages, from 230V to 480V at 50/60 Hz, it may be utilized with a variety of industrial power systems worldwide. The AX2010's output stage employs an 8 kHz high internal switching frequency. This frequency may be increased to 16 kHz when the maximum DC bus voltage is limited to 400V.

Accurate motor current control is made possible by the high frequency, which also improves system responsiveness and decreases torque ripple. To ensure reliability and protect connected equipment, the drive has overvoltage protection with a 450V and 900V threshold. By doing this, dangerous voltage spikes are avoided for the drive and motor. The AX2010 is appropriate for motors with a range of inductances since it can manage inductances between 4 and 25 mH. Compatibility with a variety of motor sizes and types is ensured by this versatility. The drive's output current form factor of 1.01 indicates a roughly sinusoidal current waveform, which lowers harmonic distortion and increases efficiency. The drive's low quiescent dissipation of 15W increases efficiency while the output stage is off.

Even at full load and the stipulated current, the power dissipation at 90W is quite low, which contributes to reduced energy consumption and heat generation. The surroundings are also taken into consideration in the design of the AX2010. The drive's IP20 protection rating helps prevent accidental contact with active components and protects it from solid objects larger than 12mm, such as fingers or tools. Even though the drive is not completely sealed against liquids, it can tolerate high humidity levels of up to 85% in the absence of condensation. This allows for operation in a variety of industrial settings. The AX2010 is built to function at heights of up to 1000 meters without derating. Power derating is required for installations between 1000 and 2500 meters above sea level in order to make up for the thinner air, which might affect cooling. The AX2010's value proposition is further enhanced by Wake Industrial's one-year warranty, which further instills trust in clients about its reliability and quality.
