Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
What a multi-axis servo drive is
A multi-axis servo drive controls two or more servo motors from one unit, usually sharing a power supply, DC bus and communication interface. Formats include compact two- to four-axis drives in one housing and modular systems with a common supply module and separate axis modules. Sharing the bus lets energy from a decelerating axis be used by others, reducing braking losses. Most connect to a motion controller or PLC over EtherCAT or another industrial Ethernet network.
When engineers choose a multi-axis servo drive
Choose a multi-axis drive for machines with several coordinated servo axes in one cabinet, such as robots, packaging machines and gantries. It saves space, wiring and cost per axis compared with single drives. The trade-offs are flexibility and fault isolation: axes share the supply, so a supply fault affects all axes, and replacing one module may need specific spare strategy. Mixing very different power levels can be limited by module ranges.
How to specify the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094)
Send these with your enquiry and an engineer can confirm the right Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094) variant or an equivalent:
- Number of axes and power per axis (A, kW)
- Supply voltage (V AC or DC)
- Network interface and cycle time
- Motor and feedback types
- Shared bus and regenerative energy handling
- Safety functions per axis
- Cabinet size and cooling
Common mistakes to avoid
- Sizing supply module for the sum of peaks without considering simultaneous demand
- Ignoring how one fault affects all axes
- Choosing modules without room for future axes
- Overlooking network cycle time with many axes

Send the full model code, quantity and required date. Our engineers can check original-part availability and assess suitable alternatives, including supply-network options where appropriate. We confirm compatibility and any changes needed before recommending a replacement.
What is the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094)?
Modular multi-axis drive using the 2094 power rail with EtherNet/IP CIP Motion control; withdrawn from sale at the end of 2025. Published series figures include power 1,800 W, power 22,000 W, continuous current 34.6 A, peak current 69.2 A. It is made by Rockwell Automation; Specify Motion can help source it or propose an equivalent.
Who makes the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094)?
The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094) is made by Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) and is listed here for engineers comparing options. Specify Motion is not affiliated with Rockwell Automation; brand names are used only to identify the product.
What is the power of the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094)?
The published series minimum power is 1,800 W. Individual models and sizes in the Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094) range vary, so check the exact variant against your duty cycle, mounting and environment, or ask our engineers to confirm the right size for you.
Is the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094) still available?
Allen-Bradley lists the Kinetix 6500 Multi-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives (2094) as discontinued. The manufacturer's recommended replacement is Kinetix 5700 Servo Drives (Rockwell product page: no longer available for sale as of 31 December 2025). We can help with spares for installed machines, a migration, or an equivalent from our supply network that meets the same published figures.
What are the benefits of a shared DC bus?
On a shared DC bus, energy regenerated by a decelerating axis can be used by other axes that are accelerating, reducing the energy dissipated in braking resistors. It also reduces wiring and supply components. Sizing must consider simultaneous peak demand on the shared supply.
Are multi-axis drives cheaper than single-axis drives?
Typically, per axis, multi-axis drives cost less and take less cabinet space, because the supply, communication and housing are shared. The saving grows with the number of axes. For machines with only one or two axes, or widely separated axes, single drives can be simpler.
