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 VW3M8B13R05 is an incremental encoder cable for BCH18 servo motors in the Lexium 18 range, running 5 m with a back-exit plastic connector. It weighs 0.313 kg and is supplied as a cabling accessory compatible with Lexium 18 servo motors, with 60 units packed per package 2 carton.
The VW3M8B13R05 is the incremental encoder cable for BCH18 servo motors, with a back-exit plastic connector and a fixed 5 m length between motor and drive. Choose the incremental cable when the application only needs relative position feedback, rather than the multi-turn cable in the same Lexium 18 cabling-accessory line.
