XE01-1AF0 extends the SINAMICS G115D XE0x sub-series to 1.1kW FSA — the lowest XE0x power rating confirmed to date. With XE01-1 and XE01-5 arriving together in this batch, the XE0x catalog path now covers 1.1kW through 7.5kW. At 1.1kW and 3.95kg, this is the light mid-range FSA drive — compact enough for tight conveyor side channels, powerful enough for accumulation zones and light transfer modules. AS-Interface connects drive control and I/O over the yellow flat cable, eliminating point-to-point control wiring.

Where does 1.1kW fit in the G115D power hierarchy?

1.1kW sits in the middle of the FSA range — above 0.37/0.55/0.75kW (light conveyor zones, small pumps and fans) and below 1.5kW (the FSA ceiling). It covers the most common conveyor zone motor size in logistics and intralogistics. A 1.1kW motor can drive a 600–800mm wide belt conveyor zone at typical speeds with moderate load. For an accumulation conveyor, a merge bed, or an incline section with light product, 1.1kW is the sweet spot — enough power for reliable starts under load, not oversized to the point of wasted energy and enclosure bulk.

How does XE01-1AF0 compare to XE41-1AF0 and 1XA01-1AF0?

Same 1.1kW FSA hardware across all three catalog codes. XE01 is the XE0x sub-series entry, XE41 is the XE4x sub-series entry, and 1XA01 is the 1XA0x sub-series entry — three parallel paths to the same 3.1A rated / 6.2A overload drive. All carry AS-Interface. All are 3.95kg, IP65, natural-convection FSA. The part number digit is the only variable — procurement can cross-reference freely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does XE01-1AF0 need a cooling fan?

No. At 1.1kW, natural convection in the FSA enclosure is entirely sufficient. The drive requires no fan and no additional cooling — just standard clearance for air circulation around the enclosure. The fanless design is one of the key reasons G115D drives dominate logistics applications: no fan filter to clean, no fan bearing to fail, no airflow restriction from dust accumulation.

What is the difference between XE01-1 and XE01-5?

The suffix after XE01 — "-1" designates 1.1kW, "-5" designates 1.5kW. Same FSA frame, same 380×216×129mm enclosure, same 3.95kg weight. The power stage is scaled for the higher current: 3.1A rated at 1.1kW vs 4.1A rated at 1.5kW. The "-1" and "-5" pattern is consistent across all G115D sub-series — XE41-1/XE41-5, XH21-1/XH21-5, 1XA01-1/1XA01-5 all follow the same convention.
