  • Dual STO safety and motion synchronization capable.
  • Multi-Ethernet feature enables compatibility with various controls solutions within the same SKU.​
  • Access full parameters and tuning options in WorkBench for complex axes. ​
  • Pre-configured to work seamlessly within Kollmorgen Automation Suite™.
  • The new Express Setup layout with WorkBench provides a pre-configured plug + play solution to enable simplified commissioning.
  • The system is designed and manufactured by Kollmorgen, with each configuration validated to deliver optimum performance.
  • High signal integrity cable prevents degraded performance and instability.
  • UL, CE, RoHS, TUV, REACH, TSCA and ISO compliant when the drive is used along with the Kollmorgen Essentials servo motor and cable.

Kollmorgen Essentials Drive

  • Supports EtherCAT®, PROFINET®, and EtherNet/IP™ all in one drive.
  • Synchronization capability with CIP Sync or PROFINET IRT.
  • Seamlessly integrates with Kollmorgen Automation Suite and most Industrial Ethernet based motion controllers.
  • High speed digital inputs for registration capability.
  • USB-C service port for fast configuration and diagnostics.
  • Optimized for single-cable feedback via SFD-M Multi-Turn absolute encoder (24-bit single-turn + batteryless 16-bit multi-turn resolution).
  • Capable of DC Bus Sharing for energy efficiency, reduced wiring, and reduction of components like braking resistors.
  • Commissioning in less than 20 minutes with WorkBench Express Setup.

Kollmorgen Essentials Motor

  • Integrated multi-turn absolute encoder feedback for high-resolution for precision control, long linear travels, or high gear ratios.
  • Industry-common IEC motor mount and innovative key kit supports adaptable motor mounting to standard mechanical interfaces such as gearboxes and coupling types requiring either smooth or keyed shafts.
  • 2 shaft configurations – smooth or keyed.
  • Optional 24VDC brake and field-installable IP65 shaft seal kits available.
  • On-board memory in our smart feedback device (SFD-M) enables “plug-and-play” parametrization with Kollmorgen drives.
  • Power ranges from 200W to 4000W with windings optimized for 120, 240, 400, or 480VAC inputs.
  • Rated speeds of 3000 RPM with maximum speed capability up to 6000 RPM.

Kollmorgen Essentials Cable

  • Single cable design with SpeedTec connectors.
  • Batteryless, multi-turn functionality simplifies installation and long-term maintenance while ensuring high reliability.
