Schneider Electric BCH18MM08132F6C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 850 W 5.39 N·m 130 mm Brake 23-Bit Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MM08132F6C is an 850 W Easy Lexium 18 (BCH18) servo motor rated for 5.39 N·m continuous stall torque at 1500 rpm nominal speed. It mounts on a 130 mm Asian standard flange, draws 7.3 A continuous stall current from a 200...240 V supply, and ships with a holding brake and carries a 23 bits optic incremental encoder. The IP67-rated motor pairs with the Lexium 18 (LXM18) servo drive family.

Selection Notes

At 5.39 N·m continuous stall torque and 7.3 A continuous current, the BCH18MM08132F6C fits light-to-medium load axes inside the 130 mm flange frame; the 16.17 N·m peak stall torque only covers brief acceleration, not sustained running. The incremental optic encoder reports position within one revolution only, so the controller needs a homing move after power-up unless an external absolute reference is added. The 20.0 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. The M80-flange BCH18 motors cover lighter axes; the unbraked 1.0 kW variant sits above it in the same 130 mm frame.

Applications

Within the Lexium 18 line, the BCH18MM08132F6C is sized for packaging and palletizing sub-axes, conveyor and rotary indexing tables, and small robotic arms that need steady torque through repeated start-stop cycles. Its 130 mm flange and 850 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.
