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 6SL3120-1TE24-5AC0 is a SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module converting a 510-720 V DC link to a 3 AC 400 V output at 45.0 A rated current (24.0 kW), built in the booksize C-Type frame with internal air cooling. It ships with a DRIVE-CLIQ cable and supports the extended Safety Integrated functions for single-axis motor control.
At 45.0 A rated / 38.0 A base-load current, this module sits above the 24 A frame size in the same S120 single motor module range — pick it once the driven axis's continuous current draw exceeds the smaller module's 24.0 A rating. The 90.0 A Imax and 200 A DC link busbars give it headroom for acceleration peaks without derating, and the optimized pulse sample keeps the extended Safety Integrated functions available for safe torque-off applications.
