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 6SL5310-1BE12-0DF0 is a SINAMICS S210 servo drive for a 2.0 kW motor, taking 3AC 200-480 V input at 45-66 Hz and rated for 7.5 A input current. It delivers up to 24.0 A max output current at 0-550 Hz output frequency, in an IP20 frame B housing (70 x 322 x 223 mm) weighing 3.3 kg.
At 2.0 kW rated power (400 V) and 24.0 A max output current, this frame B unit sits above the 1.0 kW frame A model and below the 3.5 kW frame C model in the 3AC S210 range - pick it when the motor's current draw exceeds frame A's 10.9 A ceiling. Rated power falls to 1.20 kW at 240 V input, so the achievable motor power depends on which line voltage the installation actually supplies. The 7.5 A rated input current stays low enough for a standard 3-phase branch circuit at this power class.
Fits mid-size 3-phase single-axis motion tasks - conveyor and winder drives, palletizers, and machine-tool axes in the 1.2-2.0 kW range - across either 230 V or 400 V 3-phase installations.
