The Emerson DST1405 Digitax ST Servo Drive is an AC servo drive in the Digitax ST family, intended for controlling compatible servo motors in industrial motion systems. Within the 380–480 V three-phase range, it has an 8.0 A rated output current and a 24.0 A peak output current, making it the highest-current model among the DST1401–DST1405 variants.
The DST1405 is suitable for applications where motor current demand increases during acceleration, rapid positioning or changes in mechanical load. Examples include automated packaging equipment, assembly stations, indexing mechanisms and material-transfer systems. In these applications, the drive must respond to motion commands while keeping motor current within its permitted operating limits.
For a machine with a high-inertia axis, the motor may need substantial torque to accelerate the load and then decelerate it within a short cycle. Selecting the DST1405 requires checking both continuous current demand and short-duration peak demand, as well as the motor’s feedback interface and the system’s braking arrangement. The higher current rating alone does not establish that a particular motor and drive combination is suitable.
The DST1405 uses the Digitax ST Frame Size 1 configuration and an internal fan cooling arrangement. When replacing another Digitax ST model, engineers should verify the supply voltage, motor data, feedback configuration, control interface and parameter settings before commissioning the drive.

The DST1405 converts incoming three-phase AC power into controlled electrical output for a compatible servo motor. The drive regulates motor current according to the selected operating mode and the commands received from the machine’s motion controller.
When the axis accelerates, the drive supplies the current needed to generate torque against the load’s inertia and mechanical resistance. As the axis approaches its target position or speed, the control loop adjusts motor output to follow the commanded motion profile. During deceleration, the drive manages the motor response and regenerative energy according to the installed braking arrangement.
Consider an automated transfer system that moves heavy fixtures between production stations. The axis must accelerate the fixture, reach its target position and stop within the available cycle time. The DST1405’s current capacity can accommodate higher motor-current demand when the selected motor and application fall within its permitted ratings. The controller remains responsible for defining the movement sequence and coordinating the axis with other equipment.
The 24.0 A peak rating is not a continuous current rating. The allowable duration of peak current depends on the drive’s operating limits and application conditions. Motor sizing, switching frequency, ambient temperature, load inertia and cycle frequency must all be considered when determining whether the drive is suitable for the intended duty.
The DST1405 serves as the power-control stage between the AC supply and the servo motor. It receives motion commands, regulates motor current and uses compatible feedback signals to control the motor’s response.

The DST1405 has an 8.0 A rated output current and a 24.0 A peak output current, compared with 5.9 A and 17.7 A for the DST1404. Selection depends on the motor’s current demand, required acceleration and operating duty.
No. The 24.0 A figure is the peak output current rating, not the continuous rating. The drive must operate within its rated current and permitted overload limits.
Evaluate the load inertia, acceleration and deceleration times, cycle frequency, motor current requirements and regenerative energy. The drive and braking arrangement must suit the complete operating profile rather than only the maximum motor current.
Confirm the supply voltage, motor ratings, feedback interface, control configuration, wiring and parameter settings. Also verify cabinet ventilation and braking requirements. A higher current rating does not by itself establish that the replacement is suitable for the existing machine.
