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 VW3M5A11R05 is an unshielded 5 m power cable that wires a BCH16 servo motor to a Lexium 16D (LXM16D) servo drive, with 4 x 0.75 mm² conductors. It has a 4-position TE connector on the motor side and flying-lead lugs on the drive side. Weighing 0.45 kg, it covers the 0.1-0.75 kW BCH16 motor frames in the Easy Lexium 16 range.
The VW3M5A11R05 is the preassembled equivalent of the VW3M5A11 plastic connection kit, supplying the same 4-position TE connector already terminated on a 5 m unshielded cable. Pick it over the kit when on-site crimping is not wanted; pair it with the VW3M5A12R05 brake cable when the motor is fitted with a holding brake.
