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 1FL2203-4AF00-0HC0 is a SIMOTICS S-1FL2 servo motor built for 400 V 3AC supply, delivering 1.27 Nm rated torque and 0.40 kW rated power at 3,000 rpm with 1.30 A rated current. It uses a 30 mm shaft-height frame with a 17-bit absolute single-turn encoder and pairs with a SINAMICS S200 drive. Peak output is 4.45 Nm at 4.80 A, and the housing carries IP54 protection without a shaft oil seal.
This 4AF00 variant doubles the rated torque of the 0.2 kW motor in the same 30 mm shaft-height frame, 1.27 Nm versus 0.64 Nm, while keeping the same 1.30 A rated current, so it's the choice when the load needs more torque without a larger footprint or a higher-current drive output stage. No holding brake and IP54 protection without an oil seal keep it suited to enclosed, non-washdown installations. Above roughly 0.4 kW, the larger shaft-height S-1FL2 motors carry the additional torque.
Suited to compact single-axis motion, such as small conveyors, rotary feeders, and light indexing tables, on a SINAMICS S200 where the load needs more torque than the smallest S-1FL2 frame provides but still fits a 30 mm shaft-height footprint.
