AX5120-0000-0200

The AX5120-0000-0200 from Beckhoff is part of the advanced AX Digital Servo Drives series, offering a versatile dual-channel design optimized for high-precision industrial automation. As a Digital Servo Drive, the module delivers a rated output current of 1.5 A per channel with a peak output current of 5 A per channel, enabling dynamic torque delivery and rapid acceleration in demanding motion-control tasks. Its compact form factor, measuring 274 x 232 x 92 mm, and lightweight construction at approximately 3 kg simplify cabinet layout and reduce overall system bulk. The drive accepts a wide rated supply voltage of 3 x 100-480 V AC ±10%, ensuring compatibility with international power standards without additional modifications. Each unit is engineered for straightforward integration, supporting standard DIN rail mounting and consistent interface implementations across diverse machine platforms.

Performance is further enhanced by an elevated DC link voltage of ≥875 V DC, which provides headroom for peak demands and minimizes current ripple under heavy load conditions. The module supports multiple feedback types—including SinCos 1 Vpp, resolver, EnDat 2.1, Hiperface, and BiSS B—to accommodate a variety of encoder systems and maintain sub-micrometer positioning accuracy. Communication and synchronization are handled via EtherCAT, the high-speed System bus that delivers deterministic data exchange, distributed clocks, and electronic cam functions for complex multi-axis coordination. Compliance with the SERCOS SoE (IEC 61800-7-204) drive profile standard ensures seamless interoperability with SERCOS networks and fulfills stringent real-time motion requirements. Certified to CE, cULus, and EAC standards, the drive is rated for operation in industrial environments from 0 to +50 °C, maintaining consistent performance in fluctuating temperature and vibration conditions.

Reliability and serviceability are reinforced by comprehensive diagnostics and built-in mains filtering, which protect sensitive electronics and reduce electromagnetic interference in shared cabinets. The dual-channel architecture supports parallel grippers, twin-motor gantries, and other synchronized actuation schemes while centralizing control and maintenance via Beckhoff’s established SDK libraries and engineering toolchain. A robust Color: Grey aluminum housing withstands standard industrial stressors, and its efficient thermal management permits continuous operation at full load. Ideal for sectors such as packaging, semiconductor manufacturing, and material handling, the AX5120-0000-0200 streamlines integration into automated production lines where precision, repeatability, and uptime are paramount.
