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 VW3M5A22 is a military-style connection kit for building the combined power-and-brake cable of a BCH16 servo motor in the Lexium 16D range. It comprises one MIL connector, two housings, a screw ring and a cable clamp screw ring, for on-site cable assembly. It fits the 0.85-1.5 kW BCH16 motor frames.
The VW3M5A22 combines power and brake wiring in the same MIL connector, housing, screw ring and cable clamp screw ring set as the VW3M5A21, for the 100-130 mm frame BCH16 motors fitted with a holding brake. Use the plain VW3M5A21 power-only kit instead on motors without a brake.
