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 VW3M5A22R05 is a 5 m unshielded power-and-brake cable for the Easy Lexium 16 servo range, connecting a BCH16 servo motor to an LXM16D servo drive. It carries 6 x 2.0 mm² conductors terminated in a 7-pole MIL female connector on the drive end and flying leads on the motor end, compatible with 0.85-1.5 kW BCH16 motors fitted with a brake.
VW3M5A22R05 pairs the 7-pole MIL female connector with flying-lead motor termination, which suits panel builds that route power and brake wiring through a quick-disconnect drive-side plug rather than a terminal block. The 6 x 2.0 mm² conductor set and unshielded jacket match the 0.85-1.5 kW BCH16 motor/LXM16D drive combination at 5 m; longer runs or shielded requirements call for a different cable in the Easy Lexium 16 range.
