PRD-KL52SNOz-10 by Kollmorgen

The PRD-KL52SNOz-10 from Kollmorgen is a high-performance member of the PD Servostar Servo Drives series, designed to deliver precise torque, velocity, and position control in industrial automation environments. This compact servo drive operates at a system voltage of 5 VDC and boasts a weight of just 1.22 lbs (0.55 kg), making it ideal for space-constrained installations. Its dimensions of 140 × 108 × 51 mm facilitate flexible mounting options while maintaining a minimal footprint. As part of Kollmorgen's PD Servostar lineup, it combines robust construction with advanced electronics to support demanding motion control tasks with reliability and consistency.

Technical capabilities of the PRD-KL52SNOz-10 are extensive and engineered for demanding dynamic performance. The unit features a control loop sampling rate of 16 kHz, ensuring rapid response to load changes and precise current regulation. Its encoder max input frequency of 3 MHz (single) and 12 MHz (quadrature) supports up to 10,000,000 line counts per electrical cycle, enabling ultra-high resolution feedback. Encoder signals are accepted as A/B±index, differential or open-collector, while the drive processes these signals through a dedicated voltage regulator and illegal Hall code detection for unmatched signal integrity. The servo drive draws a maximum supply current of 250 mA, optimizing power usage without sacrificing responsiveness.

Operational features of this servo drive enhance reliability and prolong service life under industrial conditions. Configurable under-voltage and thermal protection prevents damage from voltage sags or overheating by dynamically adjusting performance limits. A specialized signal protection scheme guards against erroneous Hall code feedback, ensuring system stability. Communications are handled via RS-232 serial transmission at selectable baud rates of 9600 or 19200 baud, providing real-time monitoring and seamless supervisory control. The design supports a maximum cable length of 50 ft (15 m), granting installation flexibility across complex machine layouts.

Integration of the PRD-KL52SNOz-10 into automation systems is straightforward, leveraging its compact 140 × 108 × 51 mm package, light 1.22 lbs weight, and standard RS-232 interface. Its versatile drive modes (torque, velocity, and position control) cater to a broad range of applications including precision assembly, robotics, packaging machinery, and test systems. The combination of high sampling rates, comprehensive signal protection, and configurable safeguards makes this servo drive a robust choice for engineers seeking to optimize performance in demanding industrial environments.
