Product Overview
The KOLLMORGEN 04S-M60/8-PB is a high-performance 4-quadrant transistor servo drive specifically engineered for precise speed and torque control of DC motors in demanding industrial automation environments. As part of Kollmorgen’s renowned 04S Series, the KOLLMORGEN 04S-M60/8-PB is designed as a plug-in 19″ Eurocard rack module, offering seamless integration into standard industrial control cabinets through its 3HE (100mm) height and 12TE (approximately 61mm) width format with 220mm insertion depth . This servo controller is built for rigorous motion control applications, utilizing advanced pulse-width modulation (PWM) technology with V-MOS transistors to deliver efficient, reliable performance with an output stage clock frequency of 8.5 kHz .
The KOLLMORGEN 04S-M60/8-PB is distinguished by its robust power handling capabilities and flexible control architecture. With a rated output current of 8A and a peak output current of 20A, this servo drive can handle significant dynamic loads while maintaining precise speed regulation, particularly when paired with tachometer feedback for closed-loop operation . The KOLLMORGEN 04S-M60/8-PB is designed for 4-quadrant operation, allowing full control over motor acceleration, deceleration, and direction changes. The “PB” designation in the model indicates a “soft” ballast characteristic, providing effective handling of regenerative energy during motor braking . For engineers and system integrators, the KOLLMORGEN 04S-M60/8-PB represents a reliable, field-proven solution for machine building, robotics, and precision motion control applications. Its compatibility with external 24V auxiliary power (Option -24V-) and ±15V auxiliary voltage outputs for encoder or sensor supply further enhances its versatility in complex system architectures .
