BAUMÜLLER BM4423-ST1-012 Synchronous Servo Motor

Product Introduction:
The BAUMÜLLER BM4423-ST1-012 is a 4-pole (2 pole pair) servo motor from the BM4423 series with dual radial shaft seals, a keyed shaft, and natural convection cooling. This model balances speed and torque for general-purpose high-performance motion control.

Cooling Method: Natural Convection (S) — Self-cooling via external housing.

Key Advantages:

  • 4-pole design (012) delivers superior torque at medium speeds compared to 2-pole variants
  • Dual shaft seals (T) provide IP65 from both ends — exceeds standard single-seal protection
  • Natural convection cooling — zero fan noise, zero fan failure risk
  • High overload capacity (3×) handles transient peak loads
  • Rotatable connector simplifies installation in tight spaces

Installation Requirements:

  • B5 flange mounting — 4× M10 bolts, 210 mm bolt circle diameter.
  • Minimum 150 mm clearance on all sides for natural cooling.
  • Coupling: ≤0.05 mm radial misalignment, ≤0.05 mm axial misalignment, ≤1° angular misalignment.
  • Torque mounting bolts to 25 Nm.

Operating Notes:

  • Do not block ventilation openings on motor housing.
  • Shaft seals on both ends require inspection every 6000 operating hours.
  • Operate within -10°C to +40°C ambient; derate above 40°C.
