SINAMICS S210Siemens 6SL5310-1BE13-5DF0 SINAMICS S210 3AC 200-480V 3.5kW Servo Drive
SINAMICS S210 servo drive, 3.5kW (400V), 3AC 200-480V input, 9.0A rated / 33.0A max output, IP20 frame C.
Description
About the 6SL5310-1BE13-5DF0
About the 6SL5310-1BE13-5DF0
The Siemens 6SL5310-1BE13-5DF0 is a SINAMICS S210 servo drive for a 3.5 kW motor, taking 3AC 200-480 V input at 45-66 Hz and rated for 12.5 A input current. It delivers up to 33.0 A max output current at 0-550 Hz output frequency, in an IP20 frame C housing (105 x 322 x 223 mm) weighing 4.8 kg.
Selection Notes
At 3.5 kW rated power (400 V) and 33.0 A max output current, this frame C unit covers motors above the 2.0 kW frame B model's 24.0 A ceiling, sharing its housing footprint with the 7.0 kW variant in this range - the two are distinguished by rated current and power, not physical size. The 27.8 A inrush current is notably higher than the smaller frames, worth checking against upstream breaker coordination. Rated power drops to 2.10 kW at 240 V input, so confirm the actual supply voltage before sizing the motor.
Applications
Suited to heavier 3-phase single-axis loads - extruder feed axes, large pick-and-place gantries, and winder drives in the 2-3.5 kW range - on either 230 V or 400 V 3-phase supply.
