Description

The AB 8720MC-B048-AA-HAS2 is a high-performance servo drive manufactured by Allen-Bradley (AB), a Rockwell Automation brand. It’s designed to control brushless AC servo motors within industrial automation applications. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and potential uses:

Features:

  • Power Rating: The 8720MC designation likely indicates a drive with a continuous output current rating of 46 Amps, suitable for driving mid-range to high-power servo motors.
  • Input Voltage: The B048 likely signifies a model designed for operation with a 3-phase AC input voltage of 380-480 VAC.
  • Control Mode: The HAS2 suffix might suggest this variant supports Advanced Motion Control with Sensorless Feedback (HAS). This enables the drive to control the motor’s position, speed, and torque without requiring a separate position encoder, simplifying system design in some cases. However, consulting the datasheet is recommended for confirming the exact control mode.
