BAUMÜLLER BM4424-SI1-212 Synchronous Servo Motor
Product Introduction:
The BAUMÜLLER BM4424-SI1-212 is a large-frame servo motor from the BM4424 family featuring natural convection cooling, a keyed shaft with radial shaft seal, a rotatable connector, and a 4-pole (2 pole pair) winding. Despite the larger 280 mm frame, this model utilizes natural cooling (S) rather than forced air cooling (A), making it suitable for applications with adequate ambient ventilation space.
Detailed content
Cooling Method: Natural Convection (S) — Self-cooling via external housing surface. Note: For BM4424 frame, natural cooling limits continuous power output compared to forced-air variants; this model is rated for applications where ambient ventilation is sufficient.
Shaft Configuration: Keyed Shaft with Radial Shaft Seal (I) — DIN 6885-1 keyway with single radial lip seal on drive end.
Electrical Connection: Rotatable Connector (1) — M23 plug with 360° rotation.
Pole Configuration: 212 = 2 Pole Pairs (4 Poles) — Medium-speed, high-torque winding optimized for the larger frame.
Frame Size: 280 mm Flange Diameter
Motor Length Code: 24 (Long Length) — Overall length approximately 340–400 mm (excluding shaft).
Rated Torque: Approximately 20–40 Nm
Peak Torque: Up to 3× Rated Torque
Rated Power: Approximately 7–15 kW (lower than AT1 forced-cooling variant due to natural cooling limitation)
Maximum Rated Speed: Up to 3000 rpm (4-pole design)
Protection Class: IP65 (with shaft seal)
Insulation Class: Class F (155°C)
Ambient Temperature Range: -10°C to +40°C (continuous)
Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy Die-Cast (ADC12) — Large housing with extended surface fins for enhanced natural convection.
Stator Lamination: 0.35 mm Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel
Rotor Magnets: Sintered NdFeB N42SH Grade
Bearings: Deep Groove Ball Bearings (C3 Clearance, Both Ends)
Shaft Material: Induction-Hardened C45E (1.0503)
Shaft Diameter: 55 mm or 70 mm
Keyway: DIN 6885-1 Form A — 14×9 mm (55 mm shaft) / 18×11 mm (70 mm shaft)
Weight: Approximately 50–75 kg
Moment of Inertia: Approximately 0.060–0.200 kg·m²
Encoder Options: Incremental (HTL 1Vpp, TTL) or Absolute (EnDat 2.2, Hiperface DSL, BiSS-C)
Standards Compliance: EN 60034-1, EN 60034-5, EN 61800-5-1, CE, UL Listed (optional)
Applicable Industries: Large CNC Machines, Heavy Packaging, Printing Presses, Plastic Processing, Metal Forming, Woodworking, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical Machinery — where natural cooling is viable
Key Advantages:
- 280 mm frame (BM4424) provides 20–40 Nm torque — significantly higher torque than BM4423 series
- Natural convection cooling (S) — zero fan noise, zero fan failure, zero filter maintenance
- 4-pole winding (212) delivers balanced speed-torque for general heavy-duty applications
- Keyed shaft with seal (I) — direct mechanical coupling with IP65 protection
- Rotatable connector — flexible installation in tight spaces
- Lower total cost of ownership compared to forced-air variants (no fan, no filters, no fan motor)
Installation Requirements:
- B5 flange mounting — 4× M12 or 4× M16 on 280 mm bolt circle diameter.
- Minimum 250 mm clearance on all sides for natural convection (more than BM4423 due to larger frame).
- Ensure installation location has adequate ambient airflow.
- Coupling: ≤0.05 mm radial misalignment, ≤0.05 mm axial misalignment, ≤1° angular misalignment.
- Mounting bolt torque: 40–60 Nm (M12) or 80–120 Nm (M16).
Operating Notes:
- Derate power output by 1.5% per °C above 40°C ambient — natural cooling is less effective at high ambient temperatures.
- Do not install in enclosed cabinets without ventilation — natural cooling requires ambient air contact with housing.
- Shaft seal inspection: every 6000 operating hours or 12 months.
- Maximum continuous speed: 3000 rpm — do not exceed.
- Bearing temperature maximum: 90°C.
