The Parker HPD2S5N/K005 is a compact, dual‑axis digital servo drive from Parker Hannifin’s HPD (High Performance Drive) series. Designed for demanding industrial automation and motion control systems, this drive delivers independent closed‑loop control for two brushless AC servo motors within a single housing. It combines advanced current, velocity, and position control algorithms with flexible feedback interfaces, making it an ideal choice for multi‑axis applications where precision, dynamics, and reliability are critical.
The HPD2S5N/K005 features a continuous current rating of 5 amperes RMS per axis (K005 designation) and peak current capability of 15 amperes for two seconds. Its robust design includes an internal shunt resistor for regenerative energy handling, and it supports a wide range of motor feedback devices including incremental encoders, absolute encoders, resolvers, and Hall sensors. With integrated safety functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO) according to EN 61800‑5‑2, the drive meets modern machine safety requirements without external contactors.

Technical Specifications
Typical Applications
The Parker HPD2S5N/K005 servo drive is engineered for high‑performance multi‑axis systems where space, precision, and throughput matter. Common deployments include:
Pick‑and‑place robots and delta robots requiring synchronized axis motion
Packaging machinery (filling, sealing, labeling lines) with coordinated axes
CNC machine tools (small routers, engraving machines, plasma cutters)
Automated assembly stations and indexing tables
Printing and converting equipment with electronic gearing
Medical device manufacturing and laboratory automation
By integrating two axes in one drive, the HPD2S5N/K005 reduces cabinet space, wiring complexity, and overall system cost while maintaining high dynamic performance. Its support for common industrial fieldbuses (EtherCAT, CANopen) ensures seamless integration into PLC‑based or PC‑based control architectures, including Parker’s own motion controllers and third‑party systems from Siemens, Beckhoff, or B&R.
Programming & Configuration
The drive is configured using Parker’s HPD Motion Suite software, which provides intuitive tools for auto‑tuning, oscilloscope functions, and parameter management. Users can choose between speed, torque, or position control, and set up electronic cam profiles or gearing ratios without external motion controllers. The drive also supports standalone operation using its internal programmable indexer, allowing simple point‑to‑point moves via digital I/O commands.
For advanced applications, the HPD2S5N/K005 can operate in a distributed motion control network, receiving real‑time setpoints via EtherCAT (CoE, CiA 402) or CANopen (DS‑402). The integrated STO function simplifies machine safety design, as it prevents torque generation at the motor without removing power from the drive electronics.
