Description
About the BCH16
About the BCH16
The Schneider Electric BCH16LF10332A5C2 is a Lexium 16D servo motor in the BCH16 family, rated for 1.0 kW continuous output at 3000 rpm with 3.18 N.m nominal torque. It mounts on an 80 mm flange with a 19 mm keyed shaft. Position feedback comes from a 23-bit high-resolution encoder for closed-loop control with the matching drive.
Selection Notes
The BCH16LF10332A5C2 pairs an 80 mm flange with a 19 mm shaft, so it drops into machine frames sized for the 100 mm BCH16 variants only if the mounting bolt circle is re-checked — the two flange sizes are not interchangeable. The 23-bit encoder gives a finer position resolution than the 2500-line incremental version in the same frame, which matters for high-precision indexing axes; pick the incremental variant instead where the controller only needs a coarser feedback signal and cost is the deciding factor. This is the non-brake version — choose the equivalent brake variant instead whenever the load can back-drive the motor while it is de-energized, such as a vertical axis.
Applications
At 1.0 kW continuous and 3.18 N.m nominal torque, the BCH16LF10332A5C2 suits pick-and-place axes, conveyor indexing, and packaging-line servo axes driven by a Lexium 16D drive, within the 5000 rpm mechanical speed limit of this frame.
