About the VW3M8B12R05
About the VW3M8B12R05
The Schneider Electric VW3M8B12R05 is a multi-turn encoder cable for BCH18 servo motors in the Lexium 18 range, running 5 m with a plastic connector shell. It weighs 0.348 kg and is supplied as a cabling accessory compatible with Lexium 18 servo motors, with 30 units packed per package 2 carton.
Selection Notes
The VW3M8B12R05 is the multi-turn encoder cable for BCH18 servo motors, pairing a plastic connector shell with a fixed 5 m length between motor and drive. Choose the multi-turn cable when the application needs absolute multi-turn position feedback rather than the incremental encoder cable in the same Lexium 18 cabling-accessory line.
