Description

Schneider Electric iSH100/30025/0/0/00/0/00/00/100 — Servo Motor

At a Glance

This is a 100mm-frame permanent magnet servo motor from Schneider Electric’s Lexium / PacDrive (ELAU) product line. It sits one size class above the 070-series, offering significantly higher torque and power output while retaining the same compact, integrated design philosophy. The motor is engineered for demanding industrial automation where space is limited but performance demands are high.

Schneider Electric iSH100/30025/0/0/00/0/00/00/100 — Servo Motor

Decoding the Part Number

Breaking down iSH100/30025/0/0/00/0/00/00/100:

• iSH — Integrated Servo Motor, PacDrive / Lexium family
• 100 — Frame size: 100mm flange diameter (notably larger than the 070-series, enabling roughly 2–3× the torque)
• 30025 — Stator length and winding code; “30” denotes the longest stator stack in the 100-frame family, while “025” defines the winding variant (torque constant and speed range)
• 0 — Cooling: natural convection (no fan, no water jacket)
• 0 — Shaft: smooth shaft with keyway (standard configuration)
• 00 — Electrical connection: motor-side circular connector (M23 or equivalent pre-assembled cable)
• 0 — Encoder type: single-turn absolute encoder (typically EnDat 2.1 or Hiperface interface)
• 00 — Mechanical options: no holding brake, no special seals
• 100 — Variant/revision code: “100” in this position often indicates a multi-turn absolute encoder variant (as opposed to “000” for single-turn), meaning the motor can track position across power cycles and unlimited rotations — critical for applications like rotary indexing tables, winding machines, or multi-axis robots

Key takeaway: The trailing “100” likely upgrades this motor to a multi-turn absolute encoder, distinguishing it from the basic single-turn version.

What Makes This Motor Tick

Motor technology: Permanent magnet synchronous (PMSM), surface-mounted or interior magnet design depending on the specific “30025” winding variant. The 100-frame with the longest stator (“30”) delivers the highest continuous torque available in this motor family.

Torque & power: With the “30025” code, expect continuous torque in the range of approximately 3.5 to 5.0 Nm (exact figure depends on winding and thermal class). Peak torque typically reaches 10 to 15 Nm for short bursts — enough to accelerate moderate inertial loads very quickly. Continuous power rating falls in the 500W to 1000W range depending on speed and duty cycle.

Speed: Rated speed typically extends to 3000–4500 RPM, with some winding variants capable of higher speeds. The motor maintains full torque from zero speed up to base speed, then enters a constant-power region.

Encoder: Multi-turn absolute, likely EnDat 2.1 protocol. Resolution is typically 2048 increments per revolution (single-turn) with 12-bit or higher multi-turn count (up to 4096 turns or more). This means the motor knows its exact angular position even after a power loss — no homing sequence required on startup.

Physical build: The 100mm flange measures roughly 140mm × 140mm × 120mm (including shaft). Weight is approximately 2.0 to 2.8 kg — still remarkably light for the torque class. Protection rating is IP65 standard, upgradable to IP67 with appropriate sealing kits.

Thermal design: Natural convection cooling means the motor relies on its housing and ambient airflow. For continuous high-torque operation, ambient temperature should stay below 40°C, or a derating curve must be applied.

Shaft: Standard smooth shaft with keyway, diameter typically 19mm to 24mm (depending on exact variant), compatible with standard couplings, pulleys, and gearboxes.

The Drive It Lives With

This motor pairs with Schneider’s Lexium 32 servo drives in the higher power classes:

• LXM32AU06M3X — 750W class single-axis drive (most common match)
• LXM32AU08M3X — 1kW class single-axis drive (for maximum performance)
• LXM32DU06M3X — Dual-axis module when sharing a chassis with another motor

The motor connects via a single smart cable carrying both power and encoder signals — no separate feedback wiring needed.

How It Talks to the Rest of the World

The drive communicates with the PLC or motion controller using one of several fieldbus options:

• EtherCAT — highest performance, sub-millisecond cycle times (most common for new installations)
• CANopen — compact, deterministic, widely used in mobile and robotics applications
• PROFIBUS — legacy compatibility for existing Siemens-dominated plants
• Modbus TCP / Ethernet/IP — for simpler integration with non-motion PLCs

Engineering and commissioning are done through Schneider’s SoMachine Motion software, which provides auto-tuning, motion profile generation, and real-time diagnostics.

Supported motion modes include point-to-point positioning, velocity profiling, torque control, electronic camming, synchronous multi-axis interpolation, and brake control (if a brake variant is fitted).

Where You’ll Find It

This motor thrives in applications that demand more torque than a 070-frame can deliver but don’t justify stepping up to a 140mm or larger motor:

• Robotics — shoulder and elbow axes of 6-axis robots, SCARA arm drives
• CNC machines — spindle drives, rotary table axes, tool changer mechanisms
• Packaging — high-torque servo-driven conveyors, rotary indexers, form-fill-seal machines
• Printing — main drive motors for printing cylinders, web tension control
• Semiconductor — wafer handling stages, die bonder axes
• Textile — beam positioning, yarn tensioning
• Material handling — AGV drive wheels, conveyor sorters

Why Choose This Motor

The iSH100/30025 hits a sweet spot in the Schneider servo lineup:

It delivers serious torque in a small package — the 100mm flange with the longest stator stack gives you the highest torque density in its class. The integrated multi-turn absolute encoder eliminates homing, reduces machine downtime, and simplifies commissioning. The single-cable connection and auto-tuning in SoMachine Motion mean you can go from unboxing to running in hours, not days. And because it sits on the proven Lexium / PacDrive platform, you get access to one of the largest installed bases and best support networks in the servo world.

Availability

This part number is within Schneider Electric’s current active product range — not obsolete. It is manufactured to order and through distribution, with typical lead times of 4–6 weeks for standard configurations and 8–12 weeks for special encoder or cable variants.

Pricing varies significantly by region and quantity but generally falls in the range of €1,500 to €3,500 per unit depending on encoder type, cable length, and any mechanical modifications.

Bottom Line

The Schneider Electric iSH100/30025/0/0/00/0/00/00/100 is a high-torque, compact permanent magnet servo motor from the Lexium / PacDrive family — featuring a multi-turn absolute encoder, IP65 protection, and seamless integration with Lexium 32 drives and SoMachine Motion software. It is the go-to choice when you need more muscle than a 070-frame can provide but want to stay within the 100mm form factor — ideal for robotics, CNC, packaging, and precision automation where performance, reliability, and ease of integration matter equally.
