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 6SL3120-1TE26-0AC0 is a SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module in Bookize C-Type frame, converting a 510-720V DC link into a 3AC 400V, 60A output rated at 32 kW. It supports the Extended Safety Integrated functions and ships with the DRIVE-CLiQ cable, using internal air cooling at a 4 kHz pulse frequency.
The C-Type Bookize frame houses a single 60 A axis rated 32 kW on IN (28 kW on IH), suited where one motor needs the full DC-link current budget rather than splitting it across two lower-current axes as the D-Type Double Motor Module does. The 4 kHz rated pulse frequency and 650 Hz maximum output frequency for servo control cover high-speed servo duty, while the 300 Hz vector-control limit covers standard induction motor operation. Choose this module over the Double Motor Module when a single 60 A axis is needed rather than two independent lower-current axes sharing the same DC link.
Used as a single-axis inverter section within a SINAMICS S120 multi-axis drive configuration for machine tools and other applications where one motor draws up to 60 A. The DRIVE-CLiQ interface links the module to the Control Unit and Line Module over the shared DC link, with conductor cross-sections from 2.5 to 50 mm2 and up to 100 m of shielded motor cable.
