Description
About the LXM18E
About the LXM18E
The Schneider Electric LXM18ESU07M2X is an Easy Lexium 18 servo drive rated for 0.75 kW continuous power at 220...240 V single-phase supply, delivering 5.1 A continuous output current at 8 kHz switching frequency. It integrates EtherCAT communication, digital I/O, and Safe Torque Off (STO) in a 78 x 155.5 x 166.5 mm housing weighing 1.79 kg.
Selection Notes
At 0.75 kW / 5.1 A continuous, the LXM18ESU07M2X moves into the wider 78 mm housing used by the higher-power single-phase drives in the range, so panel layout should account for the extra width versus the 48 mm enclosure of the lower-power variants. The 17.3 A / 3 s peak rating supports brief overload during acceleration, not continuous running, so continuous-duty cycles must stay at or below 5.1 A. EtherCAT and digital I/O remain integrated, keeping the same commissioning approach across the Easy Lexium 18 line regardless of power step. It operates across a -5 to 45 degC ambient range and up to 1000 m altitude without derating, and ships in 7-unit packs for panel-build spares planning.
