VFD vs Servo Drive: Key Differences
A side-by-side comparison of VFD and servo drive motor type, feedback, dynamic response, overload rating, cost, and applications for industrial engineers.
The BSH1404P11A2P is a Schneider Electric Lexium 32 BSH low-inertia AC servo motor rated for 32.1 N·m continuous stall torque at 3000 rpm nominal speed, built on a 140 mm international standard flange. It uses a keyed shaft and ships without brake, paired with Lexium servo drives via a single-turn SinCos Hiperface absolute encoder.
At 32.1 N·m continuous stall torque on a 140 mm flange, this is the low-inertia class of the Lexium 32 line, suited to fast point-to-point and cyclic motion (pick-and-place, indexing) rather than constant-load conveying. The keyed shaft gives a positive, slip-free torque connection for direct coupling, the standard interface across the BSH10xx frame. It ships without brake, for horizontal or balanced axes where the LXM32 drive's regenerative braking holds the load during a stop; where the axis must hold position with the drive off, the equivalent 'F' brake variant of this same frame is the one to specify. The single-turn SinCos Hiperface absolute encoder (131,072 counts/revolution) reports exact shaft angle within one mechanical turn without a battery, so the drive reads position on power-up without a separate homing move for single-turn travel. Continuous stall current is 21.3 A and maximum permanent current 95.6 A: size the paired LXM32 drive to this continuous rating rather than the frame's peak figure, and re-check drive sizing before substituting a different torque variant of this same 140 mm flange into an existing design.
