Faley I know what you're talking about, and so does Max, but I think you're using confusing terms. Vector and servo have never meant the same thing in any of the literature I've come across, and your job description matches mine. Servo motors and drives, yes, must be matched, finnicky bastards, and I'm glad that's why I deal more with the industrial side of things. VFDs and induction motors don't need to be matched, but some VFDs are badged with "vector" as well as some plain-jane inverter duty induction motors. Take Baldor's line of "Vector" motors: These are NOT servo motors and do NOT need to be matched to the VFD, yet they are called "Vector."
Allen Bradley Powerflex 700 is NOT a servo drive and does NOT require drive/motor matching. Sure, it has the option (option) for encoder feedback, but it's still just an industrial VFD. Allen Bradley Kinetix/Ultra line ARE servo drives, and I've never run across the word "Vector" in any literature for those.
I say all this not to educate you, as I'm sure I haven't, but in the interest of clarifying terms.
