Schneider Electric BCH18MF1033CF5C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 1.0 kW 3.18 N·m 80 mm Brake Multi-Turn Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MF1033CF5C is a 1 kW Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 servo motor delivering 3.18 N·m continuous stall torque at 3000 rpm nominal speed, up to 6000 rpm maximum mechanical speed. It pairs an 80 mm flange with a 23-bit optic multi-turn encoder and a 3.0 N·m holding brake, giving the motion controller absolute position retention through power cycles instead of the single-turn feedback used on the OPTO INC variants.

Selection Notes

The BCH18MF1033CF5C combines the braked BCH18MF10332F5C's 1 kW rating and 3.0 N·m brake with a 23-bit optic multi-turn encoder, so it retains absolute shaft position through a power cycle and does not need a homing move before the next cycle starts. That makes it the right choice for machines that must resume exactly where they stopped — packaging indexers, pick-and-place axes — rather than the single-turn (OPTO INC) BCH18MF10332F5C, which re-homes every time the drive powers up. Mechanically the two motors share the same 80 mm flange, shaft dimensions and 3.0 N·m brake torque, so swapping between them is a feedback-type decision, not a mounting one, and both draw the same 22.8 A maximum permanent current at full torque.
