Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 2198-D012-ERS3 Kinetix 5700 Dual Axis Servo Drive is a high-performance motion control solution designed to control two servo axes within a single compact unit. As part of the Kinetix 5700 platform, it supports integrated motion over EtherNet/IP, enabling precise coordination between multiple axes in advanced automation systems.
This dual-axis drive is engineered to reduce panel space and simplify wiring by combining two independent servo channels into one module. It is particularly well-suited for machines requiring synchronized motion, such as packaging equipment, material handling systems, and multi-axis production machinery.
With each axis delivering up to 3.2 kW of output power and continuous current of 5.0 ARMS (with peak current up to 12.5 ARMS), the 2198-D012-ERS3 provides a balanced combination of performance and efficiency. It is designed for high-speed, high-precision motion control applications where compactness and reliability are critical.
