Single-cable connection
06 January 2014
AKD-N is the new distributed servo drive generation from Kollmorgen. The drive system comprises robust IP67-rated controllers, which are positioned in close proximity to the motor and supplied by a central power module located in the switchgear cabinet.

The 11mm diameter hybrid cable delivers the power as well as the fieldbus communication to the AKD-N. This means the controllers can be operated directly in series via DC bus connection without an additional supply, covering power ratings of up to 4kW.
Safe Torque Off is integrated into the range as standard and can be deactivated on an individual or collective basis. Typical fields of application of the new devices include packaging machines and production systems in the food and beverage industry.
