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 VW3M5B31R05 is an Easy Lexium 18 BCH18 power cable, 5 m long with a 4G2.5 mm² conductor cross-section and a MIL1 military-style connector, for connecting a Lexium 18 servo motor power input to its drive. It weighs 1.076 kg and is supplied as a single pre-terminated cabling accessory, packed 20 per case for larger multi-axis installations.
The VW3M5B31R05 is the 5 m, 4G2.5 mm², MIL1-connector power cable for a Lexium 18 servo motor — the larger 2.5 mm² cross-section and military-style MIL1 connector pair it with a higher current motor frame than the 0.75 mm² PS1 cable, so match the cable to the motor's connector size and current rating rather than swapping between them.
