Lexium® 15 (LXM15) servo drives and BDH/BSH servo motors

Perhaps a little too smart!

Effective December 2011, the Lexium 15 (LXM15) servo drives and BDH/BSH servo motors are obsolete.

Benefits

Intelligent and compact, the range of Lexium 15 servo drives simplifies your automation architectures. Its control and precision capabilities enable you to obtain the best performance from your machines.  These servo drives are designed for high-performance applications requiring highly precise and dynamic position monitoring algorithms.

Description

Lexium 15 LP (Low Power)
200…240 V single-phase, 0.9 kW to 1.2 kW
200…240 V three-phase, from 1 kW to 3.4 kW
208…480 V three-phase, from 1,1 kW to 4.3 kW

Lexium 15 MP (Medium Power)
208…480 V three-phase, from 5.7 kW to 11.4 kW

Lexium 15 HP (High Power)
208…480 V three-phase, from 22.3 kW to 42.5 kW
The Lexium 15 servo drives comply with the international norms EN 50178, IEC/EN 61439-1, IEC/EN 60204-1, EN 292, IEC/EN 61800-3. They are UL-certified (USA), cUL-certified (Canada) and have the CE mark.

Lexium 15 servo drives feature a large number of operation modes: conventional adjustment (homing and manual), position control (point-to-point, motion tasks, electronic gearing), speed and torque control

Applications
The Lexium 15 servo drives are specifically designed to meet the requirements of the following types of applications:

  • Single-axis:

The integrated position indexer in Lexium 15 servo drive enables applications with local single-axis control. A sequence of up to 200 motions can be configured by means of motion records and controlled internally in the drive (Motion Task).

  • Master/slave:

Operation in electronic gearing mode synchronizes the movement of several axes.
There are several communication buses and networks available, enabling integration into existing automation architectures, such as: CANopen, FIPIO, Modbus Plus, Profibus DP, SERCOS and Modbus TCP.

BSH and BDH Servo Motors
The BSH and BDH servo motors are three-phase synchronous motors.  They feature an integrated sensor, which can be a Resolver (BDH servo motor only) or a SinCos Hiperface® absolute encoder (single or multi-turn). The motors are available with and without holding brake. The two motor types are suitable for a large range of applications.

BSH servo motor:

Thanks to the new winding technology which is based on salient poles, BSH servo motors are compact and have a high power density. The low inertia of the rotor and minimal effect of notches help meet the demands for accuracy and dynamic performance.

  • Nominal torque: from 0.5 Nm to 90 Nm
  • Nominal speed: from 1500 to 8000 RPM

BDH servo motors
Due to their compact design, BDH servo motors are especially suitable for applications involving a high degree of adaptation in terms of the mechanical system and the power.

  • Nominal torque: from 0.18 Nm to 53 Nm
  • Nominal speed: from 1500 to 8000 RPM

The Lexium 15 line also comprises GBX planetary gears. These gears are easy to mount, feature lifetime lubrication and are available with 12 reduction ratios from 3:1 to 40:1. GBX planetary gears are very cost-effective and specifically designed for applications with a high moment of inertia.
