BAUMÜLLER BM4433-SI1-012

Model Series: BM44 Series — Large-Frame Synchronous Servo Motor

Product Introduction:
The BM4433-SI1-012 is a large-frame Baumüller synchronous servo motor with smooth shaftnatural convection cooling, and a single-turn absolute encoder. The BM4433 frame (180 mm) provides the highest torque and power in the BM44 naturally-cooled family, while the single-turn encoder offers fast position feedback for applications limited to one revolution per axis.

Functional Features:

  • Single-turn absolute encoder (14-bit, 16,384 counts/rev) — high-resolution position feedback within 0°-360°
  • Smooth shaft — clamping hub coupling for zero-backlash connection
  • Natural convection cooling — silent, zero-maintenance operation
  • Large frame 33 — 1.8 Nm rated torque, 5.4 Nm peak — highest in BM44 self-cooled class
  • High speed capability up to 4500 rpm with constant torque to rated speed

Structural Characteristics:

  • Housing: Aluminum alloy die-cast, anodized finish
  • Stator0.35 mm grain-oriented silicon steel, epoxy-coated laminations
  • Rotor: NdFeB permanent magnet, 4-pole, N42SH grade, insulated retention sleeve
  • BearingsSealed precision ball bearings, L10 ≥ 35,000 hours
  • ShaftC45 hardened steel, Ø35 mm smooth, Ra 0.4 µm, length 60 mm

Working Principle:
Three-phase AC from servo drive creates rotating stator field. NdFeB rotor locks synchronously. Single-turn absolute encoder delivers 14-bit absolute position within one revolution. Servo drive performs closed-loop control with bandwidth >1.2 kHz, achieving precise position, velocity, and torque regulation.

Advantages & Highlights:

  • Largest naturally-cooled BM44 motor (1.8 Nm continuous)
  • Single-turn absolute (16,384 counts/rev) — highest resolution single-turn in BM44 series
  • Smooth shaft — zero backlash with clamping hub
  • Wide speed range 0-4500 rpm
  • IP65 rated — suitable for harsh industrial environments

Applicable Industries:

  • Heavy-duty CNC axes (X/Y/Z)
  • High-payload robot joints
  • Servo press drives
  • Large indexing tables
  • Main spindle drives (medium speed)
  • Heavy conveyor systems

Installation Requirements:

  • Mounting: B5 flange, 4×M8 holes, bolt torque 18 Nm
  • Coupling: Clamping hub, Ø35 mm H7, max. torque 15 Nm
  • Clearance: 200 mm top/sides, 80 mm rear
  • Connector: M23, PG21 cable gland

Usage Precautions:

  • Maximum radial shaft load: 300 N, axial: 120 N
  • Peak torque 5.4 Nm max. 3 seconds — do not sustain
  • Smooth shaft only — no keyed couplings
  • Encoder: single-turn — requires homing if multi-revolution axis is needed
