Description
📋 Product Overview
The Kollmorgen Servostar CD CE06560 is a compact single-axis servo drive from the legacy SERVOSTAR CD family. It is designed to control compatible servo motors by processing command signals, monitoring motor feedback, and regulating motor current, speed, and torque.
The CE06560 model is identified as a 6 A SERVOSTAR CD compact drive with encoder feedback and an analog control interface. The SERVOSTAR CD family is a discontinued product range, but official Kollmorgen documentation remains available for legacy installation and hardware reference.
This drive is commonly used as a replacement component in older CNC machines, automated manufacturing equipment, robotics, material-handling systems, and other motion-control installations where the original SERVOSTAR CD architecture must be retained.

🔌 Operating Function
The CE06560 operates between the machine motion controller and the servo motor.
A typical system architecture is:
Motion Controller → Analog Command Signal → CE06560 Servo Drive → Servo Motor → Machine Load
At the same time:
Servo Motor Encoder → CE06560 Feedback Circuit → Motion Controller / Drive Control
The drive receives the motion command, processes the encoder feedback, and regulates motor output through its internal servo-control electronics.
This closed-loop operation allows the machine to maintain controlled speed and torque performance while monitoring feedback and drive fault conditions. SERVOSTAR CD documentation describes the family as a servo amplifier platform with analog command capability and integrated motor-feedback processing.
🔧 Installation & Replacement Guidelines
Before replacing a CE06560 servo drive:
- Shut down the machine and isolate all applicable power sources.
- Allow DC bus energy to discharge according to the machine service procedure.
- Follow proper ESD precautions.
- Photograph and label all motor, encoder, command, and control wiring.
- Confirm the replacement model is CE06560.
- Compare the drive feedback configuration with the original unit.
- Verify the motor model and feedback device compatibility.
- Inspect power and motor connectors.
- Mount the replacement drive with adequate ventilation.
- Reconnect wiring according to the original machine documentation.
- Restore the 24 VDC logic supply and main drive power.
- Check drive status and fault indications.
- Test motor feedback before operating under load.
- Verify direction, speed, and command scaling at low speed.
- Return the machine to normal operation only after controlled functional testing.
Do not substitute another SERVOSTAR CD model solely because it has the same mechanical size. Current rating, feedback type, voltage configuration, control interface, and hardware option must be compatible. The SERVOSTAR CD model-number structure distinguishes different current ratings, feedback types, and hardware configurations.
🧰 Maintenance Recommendations
For long-term use of a legacy servo drive:
- Keep cooling paths and ventilation areas clean.
- Inspect motor and feedback connectors regularly.
- Check power terminals for discoloration or overheating.
- Verify shield grounding according to the original installation design.
- Keep motor and feedback cables separated where required.
- Record all drive parameters before replacing a working unit.
- Inspect encoder cables when position or speed faults occur.
- Check external power quality before diagnosing the drive as defective.
- Keep replacement drives in ESD-safe, dry storage.
- Test the complete axis after installation.
Servo-drive faults can also originate outside the drive. Motor windings, encoder feedback, cabling, mechanical binding, control signals, and DC bus conditions should be checked during troubleshooting.
