Schneider Electric BCH18MF0233CF5C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 200 W 0.64 N·m 80 mm Brake Multi-Turn Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MF0233CF5C is a 200 W Easy Lexium 18 (BCH18) servo motor rated for 0.64 N·m continuous stall torque at 3000 rpm nominal speed. It mounts on an 80 mm Asian standard flange, draws 1.6 A continuous stall current from a 220 V supply, and ships with a holding brake and carries a 23 bits optic multi turn encoder. The IP67-rated motor pairs with the Lexium 18 (LXM18) servo drive family.

Selection Notes

At 0.64 N·m continuous stall torque and 1.6 A continuous current, the BCH18MF0233CF5C fits light-to-medium load axes inside the 80 mm flange frame; the 2.24 N·m peak stall torque only covers brief acceleration, not sustained running. The multi-turn optic encoder tracks absolute position across several shaft revolutions, so the axis does not need a reference move after every power cycle. The 3.0 N·m holding brake keeps the shaft from drifting with power off, which is why this variant is the one to specify on vertical or overhanging loads; horizontal axes with no load drop risk can use the unbraked version of the same frame instead. Where more continuous torque is needed inside the same 80 mm flange, the 400 W braked BCH18 motor steps up without a mechanical redesign.

Applications

Within the Lexium 18 line, the BCH18MF0233CF5C is sized for small pick-and-place arms, label and vision-inspection indexing, and light conveyor or feed axes where the duty cycle is high but the load inertia is low. Its 80 mm flange and 200 W continuous rating keep it in the same mechanical footprint as its sibling motors, so an LXM18 drive sized for this power level can be reused across the family without a mechanical redesign.
