BAUMÜLLER BM4423-ST1-016 Synchronous Servo Motor
Product Introduction:
The BAUMÜLLER BM4423-ST1-016 is a 12-pole (6 pole pair) servo motor from the BM4423 family featuring dual radial shaft seals, a keyed shaft, and natural convection cooling. This high-pole-count variant is specifically engineered for ultra-high-torque, low-speed direct-drive applications where gearboxes are eliminated.
Detailed content
Cooling Method: Natural Convection (S) — Self-cooling, no auxiliary fan.
Shaft Configuration: Keyed Shaft with Dual Radial Shaft Seals (T) — DIN 6885-1 keyway with seals on both shaft ends.
Electrical Connection: Rotatable Connector (1) — M23 plug, 360° rotation.
Pole Configuration: 016 = 6 Pole Pairs (12 Poles) — Ultra-high torque, low-speed winding.
Frame Size: 230 mm Flange Diameter
Motor Length Code: 23 (Medium Length) — Overall length approximately 280 mm (excluding shaft).
Rated Torque: Approximately 20–35 Nm (highest torque in BM4423 family)
Peak Torque: Up to 3× Rated Torque
Rated Power: Approximately 3–5 kW (lower speed reduces power despite high torque)
Maximum Rated Speed: Up to 1000 rpm (12-pole design)
Protection Class: IP65 (dual shaft seals)
Insulation Class: Class F (155°C)
Ambient Temperature Range: -10°C to +40°C (continuous)
Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy Die-Cast (ADC12)
Stator Lamination: 0.35 mm Non-Oriented Silicon Steel — Optimized for low-speed, high-torque operation with minimal cogging.
Rotor Magnets: Sintered NdFeB N42UH Grade — High-coercivity grade for stability at low speeds.
Bearings: Deep Groove Ball Bearings (Both Ends) — C3 Clearance
Shaft Material: Induction-Hardened C45E (1.0503)
Shaft Diameter: 55 mm or 70 mm (larger shaft for high torque transmission)
Keyway: DIN 6885-1 Form A — 18×11 mm (55 mm shaft) / 22×14 mm (70 mm shaft)
Weight: Approximately 38–50 kg (heaviest in BM4423 series due to high torque design)
Moment of Inertia: Approximately 0.050–0.120 kg·m² (high inertia for smooth low-speed operation)
Encoder Options: High-Resolution Incremental (up to 16384 lines/rev) or Absolute (EnDat 2.2, Hiperface DSL, BiSS-C) — Critical for low-speed position accuracy.
Standards Compliance: EN 60034-1, EN 60034-5, EN 61800-5-1, CE, UL (optional)
Applicable Industries: Direct-Drive Rotary Tables, Heavy-Duty Turrets, Wind Turbine Pitch Control, Large Valve Actuators, Ship Propulsion Auxiliaries, Mining Equipment, Steel Mill Rotary Tables
Key Advantages:
- 12-pole winding (016) delivers maximum torque at minimum speed — eliminates need for gearbox in many applications
- Dual shaft seals (T) — IP65 protection on both ends for harsh industrial environments
- Low cogging torque design enables ultra-smooth low-speed rotation
- High moment of inertia provides inherent speed stability under load fluctuations
- Direct-drive capable — removes gearbox backlash, maintenance, and efficiency losses
Installation Requirements:
- B5 flange mounting — 4× M10 or 4× M12 (depending on torque rating) on 210 mm PCD.
- Minimum 200 mm radial clearance for natural convection cooling.
- Rigid coupling only — no flexible couplings recommended for direct-drive applications (torsional stiffness critical).
- Alignment: ≤0.03 mm radial runout, ≤0.03 mm axial runout, ≤0.5° angular misalignment.
