Allen-Bradley 2198-S160-ERS3 Single-Axis Servo Drive Module – Kinetix 5700 Series
When a servo axis goes offline on a high-speed packaging line, a robotic welding cell, or a precision CNC machining center, production does not simply slow down — it stops entirely. Every minute of unplanned downtime translates directly into scrapped product, missed delivery windows, and escalating maintenance costs. The Allen-Bradley 2198-S160-ERS3 is the single-axis servo drive module engineered to eliminate that risk, delivering the precise torque, speed, and position control that modern automated machinery demands without compromise.
Within the Kinetix 5700 servo drive family — Rockwell Automation’s flagship multi-axis motion platform — the 2198-S160-ERS3 occupies the high-power single-axis tier, rated at 160 A continuous output current. It is designed for demanding servo applications where a dedicated axis drive is required rather than a shared DC-bus multi-axis configuration. Globally, the Kinetix 5700 series is deployed across automotive assembly, semiconductor fabrication, food and beverage processing, and logistics automation, making the 2198-S160-ERS3 one of the most sought-after replacement and expansion modules in the industrial automation market.
