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 1FK7083-2AH71-1QB0 is a SIMOTICS S 1FK7-CT synchronous servo motor rated 1.4 kW with 16 Nm standstill torque at 100K and a 4,500 rpm rated speed, built with an integrated holding brake. It runs on a 600 V DC link, mounts as IMB5, and carries an IP64 enclosure with an absolute 20-bit single-turn DRIVE-CLiQ encoder.
Choose this holding-brake winding over the non-brake 4,500 rpm variant when the axis is vertical or gravity-loaded and must keep the 16 Nm standstill torque applied through an E-stop or power loss. Net weight rises to 15.9 kg from the added brake hardware; rated power, torque, and speed are unchanged.
