Kollmorgen announces new AKD2G 24A hard drive. Designed for precision multi-axis servo system applications, the new single-cable optimized drive builds on the strengths of the AKD2G product portfolio, including upgraded safety features, SD card backup and a graphical display with higher amperage to support more Applications with higher power requirements, such as conveyors and vertical lifting applications.

The AKD2G 24A servo drive delivers 3 times the continuous rated current for up to 5 seconds during peak operation compared to other similar drives – ideal for high-power servo motors used intermittently. In these peak-related applications, customers can downsize their servo drives to this new 24A product. Kollmorgen’s Motioneering sizing and selection tool provides guidance throughout the process.

The new AKD2G 24A servo drive offers configurable options including safety level, I/O, feedback and field bus. It supports auxiliary braking through the standard X4 connector and allows faster Smart Feedback Adapter (SFA) wiring using the standard X5 connector.

For high-performance applications such as satellite ground stations, robotics, packaging, labeling and more, customers can rely on Kollmorgen’s unparalleled support to optimize drive/motor synchronization, setup and performance. Global product and service availability ensures long-term productivity and success.

“The AKD2G 24A delivers higher amperage for more applications,” said James Davison, senior vice president/general manager of Kollmorgen. “This high level of flexibility and performance potential means customers don’t have to mix and match drives. In short, the expanded AKD2G servo drive family now offers customers more functionality and control while reducing complexity .
