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 Siemens 1FK7080-2AH71-1QA0 is a SIMOTICS S 1FK7-CT synchronous servo motor rated 8 Nm continuous torque (M0 at 100K) at 4,500 rpm and 2.1 kW rated power, with a 600 V DC link voltage. It uses natural cooling, carries IP64 protection, and includes a Drive-CLiQ single-turn absolute encoder (20-bit), no holding brake.
This is the brake-less version of the shaft-height-80, 8 Nm, 4,500 rpm 1FK7-CT winding, lighter than the version fitted with a holding brake. Use it where an external or gearbox-integrated brake already holds the load, since drive power removal leaves this shaft free to rotate.
Fits synchronous servo axes needing 8 Nm at a 4,500 rpm base speed on the shaft-height-80 frame. The Drive-CLiQ encoder interface connects directly to Drive-CLiQ-enabled Siemens drive systems without separate encoder cabling.
