Schneider Electric BCH18MD0133CA5C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 100 W 0.32 N·m 3000 rpm 60 mm Multi-Turn Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MD0133CA5C is a 100 W Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 servo motor delivering 0.32 N·m continuous stall torque at 3000 rpm nominal speed, drawing 1.1 A continuous stall current. Its 23-bit multi-turn absolute encoder removes the need to re-home the axis after a power cycle, and it ships on a 60 mm flange without a holding brake.

Selection Notes

The multi-turn absolute encoder on the BCH18MD0133CA5C removes the homing move that the incremental-encoder variant needs after every power-up, which matters on axes that cannot tolerate a re-home cycle. No brake is fitted, so horizontal axes relying on the drive's torque to hold position are the better fit; vertical or overhauling loads need external braking. Size the Lexium 18 (LXM18) drive's continuous current to the 1.1 A continuous stall current, with 3.4 A maximum permanent current available for short accelerating moves. Maximum mechanical speed is rated to 6000 rpm against the 3000 rpm nominal speed used for the torque and current figures above, leaving margin for brief overspeed during deceleration. The 245 N maximum radial force and 74 N maximum axial force ratings set the limit for belt or pulley side-loading on the shaft; exceeding them shortens bearing life. IP67 sealing and the two-connector male/female power and feedback interface are shared across the Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 range, so this motor uses the same cabling and enclosure design as the higher-power variants on the same 60 mm flange.
