Schneider Electric VW3M5101R50 Lexium Servo Motor Power Cable 4x1.5 mm² + 2x1 mm² 5 m BSH BDH Servo Cable
5 m power cable between BSH/BDH servo motor and Lexium servo drive, 4x1.5 mm² + 2x1 mm².
Description
About the VW3M5101R50
About the VW3M5101R50
The Schneider Electric VW3M5101R50 is a 5 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 1.21 kg.
Selection Notes
The VW3M5101R50 sits between the 3 m VW3M5101R30 and 10 m VW3M5101R100 in the Lexium power-cable family - choose it for drive-to-motor runs of roughly 4-5 m, long enough to route around an enclosure without doubling up a shorter cable. All three lengths share the same 4 x 1.5 mm² + 2 x 1 mm² conductor set and M23 motor-side connector, with a free end for drive-side termination.
Applications
Wires power between a BSH or BDH servo motor and a Lexium 05, 15 or 32 servo drive where the drive is panel-mounted a short distance from the motor.
