Schneider Electric BCH18MD0233CA5C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 200 W 0.64 N·m 3000 rpm 60 mm Multi-Turn Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MD0233CA5C fits a 23-bit multi-turn absolute encoder to the 200 W, 0.64 N·m Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 motor on the 60 mm flange, drawing 1.6 A continuous stall current. No brake is fitted on this medium-inertia (0.268 kg.cm²) variant, so it suits horizontal or continuously-driven axes where position must survive a power cycle without external holding.

Selection Notes

This 200 W, 60 mm-flange motor carries the 23-bit multi-turn absolute encoder rather than the incremental type on the BCH18MD02332A5C, so the controller retains shaft position through a power cycle and does not need to re-home the axis on every startup. No brake is fitted, keeping net weight at 0.85 kg — appropriate for a horizontal axis where nothing drives the load when the servo is idle. Continuous stall current is 1.6 A; size the Lexium 18 (LXM18) drive to that figure, with 5.9 A maximum permanent current available only for short accelerating moves. Medium inertia (0.268 kg.cm²) keeps the motor matched to load-heavy axes such as conveyors rather than very fast cycling. Maximum mechanical speed is rated to 6000 rpm against the 3000 rpm nominal speed used for the figures above, leaving margin for brief overspeed during deceleration. IP67 sealing and the shared two-connector power/feedback interface mean this motor uses the same cabling and enclosure design as the incremental-encoder BCH18MD02332A5C, differing only in the encoder and the absence of a brake.
