BAFP(U)-100-33-S Kollmorgen Essentials Regen Resistor
Sku#: BAFP(U)-100-33-S
The Kollmorgen Essentials BAFP(U)-100-33-S Regen Resistor is an OEM dynamic braking resistor designed for use with Kollmorgen Essentials KED-series servo drives. This resistor provides a critical safety and performance function: dissipating excess regenerative energy generated when a servo motor decelerates, reverses direction, or operates with a high-inertia mechanical load.
During these conditions, regenerative energy flows back into the servo drive’s DC bus. Without a braking resistor, this can cause bus overvoltage faults or shut down the system. The BAFP(U)-100-33-S delivers a controlled resistive load that safely converts this energy into heat, protecting the drive and ensuring smooth, reliable machine operation.
Part of Kollmorgen’s industrial BAFP(U) braking resistor family, this model is engineered for repeated braking cycles and demanding duty profiles found in indexing equipment, conveyance systems, packaging lines, vertical axes, and any machine requiring frequent starts, stops, or directional reversals.
Using the Kollmorgen-certified regen resistor guarantees proper electrical compatibility, stable performance, and full compliance with the drive’s braking specifications—making it the recommended accessory for any KED-driven motion system requiring dynamic braking.
