AKD-N Decentralized Servo Drive
The AKD-N decentralized servo drive reduces cabinet space and opens the way to a smarter machine automation with 80% less cabling. Typical applications for the AKD-N are packaging machines and production machines in food and beverage industry.
- IP67 drives can be mounted to machine, outside the control panel
- Reduced cabling because DC, network, power supply, I/O level as well as safety (STO) run in one cable
- More flexibility in machine design, can be “cold plate” mounted
Product available worldwide
Lay Less Cable
Imagine your machine includes eight axes each with a distance of three meters. The switch cabinet is 5 meters away and on each axis there is also a switch. In this example that equates to a total of 372 meters of cable with typical servo drives, but with AKD-N it is only 42 meters. The decentralized servo technology of the AKD-N saves 330 meters here.
AKD-N Decentralized Drive Cabling

- CFHNA2 Hiperface
Features
Reduce costs
- Reduced cabling because DC and network, power supply, I/O level as well as safety (STO) run in one cable
- Fast and simple assembly, even without special knowledge, through ready-made and tested cables
- Lack of derating enables smaller motor and servo drive combinations compared to integrated system with the same output power
Compact machines
- Smaller and therefore easily integrated switch cabinets
- Servo drives in the immediate vicinity of the motor
- Robust construction in Protection class IP67 makes protective enclosures superfluous
Faster startup
- Plug connectors in IP67 for connection without tools
- At only eleven millimeters, the thin hybrid cable can be laid in a space-saving manner – even in tight machine corners, thanks to a small bending radius
- Simple connection of I/O systems or networks directly to the drive
- Parameterization with Kollmorgen's WorkBench software
Higher machine effectiveness (OEE)
- Design supports fast and effective cleaning
- High operating safety through robust construction
- Precision through digital feedback
- Everything at a glance: Status display on servo drive
More flexibility in machine design
- Compatible with all motors from Kollmorgen with single-cable, or dual-cable, connection
- Simple combination of central and decentralized controllers within the comprehensive AKD family
- Faster modification and upgrade options through linear topology as well as I/O and network interfaces at the axis
