Typical Applications
- CNC machine tool axis drives
- Textile and packaging machinery
- Semiconductor handling and pick-and-place systems
- Printing and labeling equipment
- Conveyor and indexing systems
- Laboratory automation and medical devices
System Compatibility
The VRDM397/50LNB is designed to operate with the following BERGER LAHR drive and controller families:
- BERGER LAHR WDP Series drives (WDP3-007, WDP3-014, etc.)
- BERGER LAHR VRDM Series integrated drive-motor units
- Schneider Electric Lexium Series (with appropriate adapter cable)
- Standard step/direction pulse interfaces (5V TTL / 24V differential)
Confirm bus voltage (typically 48–72 VDC) and peak current rating of the drive before installation.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine if the VRDM397/50LNB is the right motor for your application:
- Required Holding Torque: ≤ 3.97 Nm → VRDM397/50LNB is suitable; higher torque → consider VRDM5913 series
- Operating Speed: LNB winding optimized for mid-to-high speed (≥ 1000 rpm); for low-speed/high-torque → consider HNB winding variant
- Drive Availability: Existing BERGER LAHR WDP drive → direct replacement; new installation → evaluate Schneider BCH servo system
- Environment: IP54 rated — suitable for light dust and splash; harsh wash-down → specify IP65 variant
- Budget: OEM original for critical axes; compatible alternatives for non-critical or prototype stages

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace VRDM397/50LNB with a standard NEMA 34 stepper motor?
A: Mechanically possible, but the LNB connector and drive interface are proprietary. A standard stepper will require a new drive and cabling. Not recommended for direct swap.
Q: Is the VRDM397/50LNB still in production?
A: BERGER LAHR was acquired by Schneider Electric. This model is discontinued but available as new-old-stock (NOS) or refurbished through specialist suppliers like Konmask.com.
Q: What is the difference between LNB and HNB winding?
A: LNB = Low inductance, optimized for higher speeds. HNB = High inductance, better for low-speed high-torque applications. Choose based on your speed-torque curve requirements.
Q: Do you provide a test report or inspection certificate?
A: Yes. Inspection reports are available upon request for all units. Contact us before ordering if documentation is required for your QA process.
