CE20560 Kollmorgen SERVOSTAR CD Series 5 Digital Servo Drive

The CE20560 is a high-power, high-performance digital servo drive from Kollmorgen’s SERVOSTAR CD Series 5, engineered for demanding industrial motion control applications that require exceptional power density, precision, and reliability. As an upgraded Series 5 model, it builds on the robust foundation of the CD platform with enhanced digital processing, expanded feedback compatibility, and advanced safety and communication features, making it ideal for medium-to-high power multi-axis systems and heavy-duty automation tasks.

Overview

Designed as a compact, panel-mountable digital servo amplifier, the CE20560 integrates a high-speed digital signal processor (DSP) to execute fully digital current, velocity, and position control loops with sinusoidal commutation. This ensures ultra-smooth, low-ripple motion, precise positioning accuracy, and rapid dynamic response even under high-load conditions. The drive features a rugged IP20-rated enclosure, optimized for vertical installation in industrial cabinets, and is built to withstand vibration, thermal stress, and harsh operating environments. It supports standalone and multi-axis configurations, with flexible connectivity options for seamless integration into both legacy and modern automation systems.
