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.
