Beckhoff AX5106-0000 Digital Compact Servo Drive

Beckhoff AX5106-0000 Digital Compact Servo Drive is a 1-axis servo drive in Beckhoff’s AX5000 family that accepts 100–480 V AC three-phase input and delivers controlled motor current over EtherCAT with One-Cable Technology (OCT). This compact module supports a nominal output current of 6 A and uses hardware version 2.0 with firmware version 2.06 (or newer). In terms of electrical capability, the AX5106 provides a nominal apparent power of 0.94 kVA at 120 V input and 1.8 kVA at 230 V input under S1 operation, making it suitable for mid-range servo applications; the unit’s listed power loss is 85 W with a continuous braking power of 150 W. The drive’s EtherCAT interface and OCT support enable streamlined cabling and integration within Beckhoff automation systems, and the AX5106 is a member of the AX5000 family designed for distributed control in compact form factors. The 0200-series hardware variant (AX5106-0000-0200/0202) carries compatibility notes from Beckhoff, including interfaces with AX5805, AX57xx, AX5021, and AX5801-0200 in specific configurations. This combination of precise motion control capabilities, robust electrical ratings, and native Beckhoff integration makes the AX5106-0000 suitable for modern automation tasks that require compact, single-axis servo drive performance.
