What the ILE2P661PC1A1 actually moves
The ILE2P661PC1A1 is a Schneider Electric Lexium integrated drive: a brushless DC motor, BLDC encoder feedback, and a three-stage straight-tooth gear reducer packaged on a single 66 mm flange, with the drive electronics sitting behind the motor — so one cable lands power, comms, and the four configurable digital signals on the same industrial connector. Output shaft is 10 mm diameter, keyed 16 mm, 25 mm long, with a 4 mm centring collar — a mechanical envelope a cell designer can drop into a standard 66 mm flange pocket without an external coupling on the light side.
Speed, torque and the 24 V vs 48 V choice
Continuous output power lands at 95 W from a 24 V supply and 119 W at 48 V, while current draw holds inside a 5500 mA continuous / 7000 mA peak envelope — meaning a 48 V cell gains headroom on cycle rate before the drive starts asking the bus for more amps. Reduction ratio is 18:1 (160:9) through three straight-tooth stages; detent torque from the gear sits at 1.42 N·m, so the package is sized for indexing duty and conveyor indexing rather than precision servo point-to-point where backlashed planetary stages are the usual pick.
Cycle-time handshake and digital I/O
Four bidirectional digital signals ride on the same industrial connector — usable as inputs or outputs each — so a cell wiring scheme can route home sensor, end-of-travel, gripper confirmation, and a cycle-start strobe without a separate breakout block. Positioning accuracy is rated at +/- 0.5 point, which for a straight-tooth three-stage reducer is consistent with the indexing and rotary-table work the device is built around rather than a precision servo axis — the right comparator for fit is repeatability of a conveyor-diverter or indexing table, not pick-and-place point accuracy. Communications ride at 100 Mbits on the network port, and the drive handles its own short-circuit, output over-voltage, and overload protection internally — so upstream fusing only needs to clear a drive that already protects itself, simplifying the cabinet selectivity study.
Mechanical envelope, mounting, environment
Flange mount, 66 mm motor flange, 174 mm overall length — the unit is sized for a direct bolt-up to a conveyor frame or rotary indexing table where the integrated gearhead replaces an external right-angle reducer. Cooling is natural convection, so the integrator must keep the housing clear of close-fitting shrouds — derating starts when the surrounding enclosure traps the heat rather than at a hard thermal trip; vibration and shock ratings (20 m/s² over 10–500 Hz, 150 m/s² on 1000 shocks) put the unit inside the IEC 60068-2 envelope for fixed industrial machinery. Operating envelope is 15–85 % RH non-condensing, up to 1000 m altitude without derating — the typical factory-floor window without special provisions.
Compliance posture
Standards list on the nameplate covers EN/IEC 61800-3 (the EMC product standard for adjustable-speed drives, both the Ed 2 and the 2001 second-environment variants), EN/IEC 50178 for power-converter equipment, EN 50347 and IEC 60072-1 for the motor frame, and the unit carries a CE marking.
