Schneider Electric BCH18MM1523CA6C Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 1.5 kW 7.16 N·m 2000 rpm 130 mm Multi-Turn Servo Motor

The Schneider Electric BCH18MM1523CA6C is a 1.5 kW Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 servo motor on a 130 mm flange, delivering 7.16 N·m continuous stall torque at 2000 rpm nominal speed and up to 3000 rpm maximum mechanical speed. It carries a 23-bit optic multi-turn encoder for absolute position feedback and ships without a holding brake, keeping rotor inertia at 20.88 kg.cm² for faster acceleration on horizontal axes.

Selection Notes

The BCH18MM1523CA6C steps up to 1.5 kW within the same 130 mm M130 flange, delivering 7.16 N·m continuous stall torque at 2000 rpm nominal speed without a holding brake — the unbraked build keeps rotor inertia at 20.88 kg.cm² rather than the roughly 28 kg.cm² of the 2.0 kW BCH18MM2023CA6C, which matters for acceleration-limited indexing axes. Its 23-bit optic multi-turn encoder retains absolute position through a power cycle, so the LXM18 drive does not need to re-home the axis at startup. At 25.0 A maximum permanent current, it draws more than the 850 W motors but less than the 2.0 kW variant, placing it mid-range in the M130 frame's current demand on the drive, with a 9.0 kg net weight that also sits between those two ratings.
