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 Schneider Electric VW3M5A11 is a plastic connection kit for building the power cable of a BCH16 servo motor in the Easy Lexium 16 range. It comprises one connector and four wiring pins, so the cable is assembled on site rather than purchased preassembled. It fits the 0.1-0.75 kW BCH16 motor frames.
The VW3M5A11 supplies the loose connector and four wiring pins for building a custom-length power cable on site, which is the reason to pick it over a fixed-length preassembled cable; choose the preassembled VW3M5A11R05 instead when a standard 5 m cable is sufficient and on-site crimping is not wanted. Use the VW3M5A12 brake kit alongside it, not in place of it, on motors fitted with a holding brake.
