Schneider Electric VW3M5101R100 Lexium Servo Motor Power Cable 4x1.5 mm² + 2x1 mm² 10 m BSH BDH Servo Cable
10 m power cable between BSH/BDH servo motor and Lexium servo drive, 4x1.5 mm² + 2x1 mm².
Description
About the VW3M5101R100
About the VW3M5101R100
The Schneider Electric VW3M5101R100 is a 10 m preassembled power cable between a BSH or BDH servo motor and a Lexium 05, 15 or 32 servo drive. It has a 4 x 1.5 mm² + 2 x 1 mm² conductor composition, terminates in an industrial M23 connector on the motor side and a free end on the drive side, and weighs 2.29 kg.
Selection Notes
The VW3M5101R100 is the 10 m version of the Lexium power-cable family, which also ships as the 3 m VW3M5101R30 and 5 m VW3M5101R50 - pick the length that matches the run between the servo drive and the motor without excess coiled cable, since all three share the same 4 x 1.5 mm² + 2 x 1 mm² conductor set and M23 motor connector. The free end on the drive side is terminated at the drive's power terminals during installation rather than plugging in.
Applications
Wires power between a BSH or BDH servo motor and a Lexium 05, 15 or 32 servo drive in machine-building installations using Schneider's pre-terminated motor cordsets.
