Motor ratings and feedback for position-loop integrity
The BEH18MM1523CA6C is a BEH18 servo motor from the Lexium 18 range, delivering 1.5 kW nominal output power at 220 V single-phase. Nominal torque is 7.16 N.m at 2000 rpm, with a continuous stall torque matching that figure — the motor holds rated torque at standstill without derating. Feedback comes from a 23-bit optic multi-turn encoder (8,388,608 points per revolution). That resolution supports smooth low-speed regulation and absolute position retention over multiple shaft turns, which matters for applications where the controller needs to know the load position after a power cycle without a homing routine. The 10-pole motor design gives a higher torque density than a standard 4- or 6-pole servo at the same frame size, but the drive must be configured for the pole count — the Lexium 18 drive family handles this natively.
Sealing and mechanical integration for washdown zones
IP67 rating on the motor body means it withstands temporary immersion and hose-directed water — suitable for food-and-bev lines, washdown stations, or outdoor conveyor sections where the motor sees direct spray. The connector interface uses two mating connectors; the seal integrity depends on the cable-side connector being IP67-rated as well. Mounting uses an Asian standard flange with a 130 mm flange size and four mounting holes. The shaft is 22 mm diameter with a parallel key, 58 mm shaft length, and the key width is 8.0 mm. Maximum radial force at the shaft is 686 N, axial force 196 N — stay within these limits to avoid bearing overload. Overall dimensions: width 152.6 mm, height 130 mm, depth 174.5 mm. No second shaft end, so no provision for an external encoder or brake on the rear — the holding brake option is not fitted on this variant.
Sourcing and compliance documentation
Compliance documentation expected from Schneider Electric includes RoHS and REACH declarations, UL/CSA recognition for the motor series, and IEC 60034 performance standards. The 23-bit encoder with multi-turn absolute feedback supports the audit-trail requirements for position data in GMP environments — the encoder retains position across power cycles without battery backup, which simplifies validation of the homing sequence.
