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 shaft, natural 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
- Stator: 0.35 mm grain-oriented silicon steel, epoxy-coated laminations
- Rotor: NdFeB permanent magnet, 4-pole, N42SH grade, insulated retention sleeve
- Bearings: Sealed precision ball bearings, L10 ≥ 35,000 hours
- Shaft: C45 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
