Multi-Axis Motion Control Solution – BECKHOFF AX5118-0000 | AX5000 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The BECKHOFF AX5118-0000 is a single-channel digital compact servo drive from the AX5000 series, engineered for high-precision, high-dynamic motion control in demanding industrial environments. Typical deployment scenarios include:
- CNC Machining Centers – Axis interpolation for milling, turning, and grinding with sub-millisecond cycle times.
- Robotic Arms & Gantry Systems – Coordinated multi-axis motion via EtherCAT FSoE safety integration.
- Packaging & Filling Machines – High-speed pick-and-place, indexing conveyors, and servo-driven cam profiles.
- Printing & Converting Equipment – Register control and tension management requiring tight velocity loops.
- Semiconductor & Electronics Assembly – Ultra-precise positioning stages with low-ripple torque output.
- Plastics Injection Molding – Clamp, injection, and ejector axis control with force feedback.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the AX5118-0000 compatible with third-party motors (non-BECKHOFF)?
A: Yes. The AX5118-0000 supports standard encoder protocols (EnDat, Hiperface, Resolver, SSI, BiSS), making it compatible with motors from Siemens, Lenze, Rexroth, and others, provided the feedback interface matches.
Q: Can this drive be used without TwinCAT?
A: The AX5000 series is optimized for TwinCAT 3 NC. While EtherCAT CoE allows third-party master controllers, full auto-tuning and diagnostic features require TwinCAT.
Q: What is the difference between AX5118-0000 and AX5118-0010?
A: The -0010 variant includes an additional multi-feedback option card. The -0000 covers the standard encoder interfaces listed above. Confirm your motor’s feedback type before ordering.
Q: Do you provide export documentation for customs?
A: Yes. We provide commercial invoice, packing list, and HS code declaration. ECCN/EAR classification support is available on request for regulated destinations.
Q: What is the lead time for AX5118-0000?
A: Stock availability varies. Contact us for a real-time inventory check. Expedited shipping via DHL Express is available for urgent requirements.
