Description
Product Overview
The PARKER CPAR-08AE-14293 is a high-performance servo drive engineered for precision motion control in demanding industrial automation applications. Part of Parker Hannifin’s Compax3 C3P series, this compact drive delivers 8A continuous current (16A peak) with advanced control algorithms for dynamic positioning of servo motors. Designed for single-phase 200–240V AC operation, the CPAR-08AE-14293 supports EtherCAT communication for real-time synchronization in multi-axis systems while providing integrated safety functions (STO/Safe Torque Off). Its convection-cooled IP20 design enables high-density cabinet installation, making it ideal for packaging machinery, robotics, and semiconductor manufacturing where space efficiency and rapid response times (≤62.5μs cycle time) are critical.

Main Features and Advantages
Dynamic Control Performance: Parker’s Advanced Auto-Tuning algorithm compensates for mechanical resonances and load variations, achieving settling times <5ms for high-acceleration applications like pick-and-place robots.
Cableless Feedback: Direct support for Parker GVM series motors with EnDat 2.2 eliminates resolver cables, reducing wiring costs and signal noise.
Integrated Safety: Hardware-enforced STO (Safe Torque Off) meets ISO 13849-1 PL e and IEC 61800-5-2 SIL 3 requirements without external relays.
Multi-Axis Synchronization: EtherCAT enables ≤1ms cycle times for coordinated motion across 32+ axes – critical for CNC machining and electronic assembly.
Energy Efficiency: Regenerative braking circuitry feeds 95% of deceleration energy back to the grid, reducing heat dissipation by 40% vs. conventional drives.
