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 VW3M8102R100 is a 10 m SinCos Hiperface encoder cable for the Lexium 32 servo drive range, wired 3 x (2 x 0.14 mm²) + (2 x 0.34 mm²). It connects the motor-side M23 connector to an RJ45 connector at the drive. Weighing 0.9 kg, it is manufactured in Hungary.
The VW3M8102R100 carries SinCos Hiperface feedback between a Lexium 32 servo motor and drive over a cable structure separate from the power cable, so it is ordered alongside a VW3M5103 or VW3M5105 power cable rather than in place of it. At 10 m it suits drive-to-motor runs beyond the reach of shorter encoder cables in the same range.
