Schneider Electric BCH18MD0233CF5C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 200 W 0.64 N·m 60 mm Brake Multi-Turn Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MD0233CF5C combines a 23-bit multi-turn absolute encoder with a 2.0 N·m holding brake on the 200 W, 60 mm-flange Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 frame. Continuous stall torque is 0.64 N·m at 1.6 A continuous stall current, and rotor inertia is 0.328 kg.cm² — the braked, absolute-feedback option for vertical 200 W axes.

Selection Notes

Combining the 23-bit multi-turn absolute encoder with a 2.0 N·m holding brake makes the BCH18MD0233CF5C the option for a vertical 200 W axis that also needs to retain position through a power cycle — no re-homing move and no drift when the drive is off. The brake raises rotor inertia to 0.328 kg.cm² and net weight to 1.25 kg versus the brakeless BCH18MD0233CA5C. Continuous stall current is unchanged at 1.6 A for Lexium 18 (LXM18) drive sizing. Among the 60 mm-flange 200 W variants in this range, this is the fully-specified choice when both absolute feedback and mechanical holding are required. Maximum mechanical speed is rated to 6000 rpm, double the 3000 rpm nominal speed used above, leaving margin for brief overspeed during deceleration. IP67 sealing and the shared two-connector power/feedback interface mean this fully-optioned 200 W motor uses the same cabling and enclosure design as the rest of the 60 mm-flange Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 motors.
