BAUMULLER BM4445-SI1-012 08-0305-1075

Product Introduction:
The BAUMULLER BM4445-SI1-012 is a medium-power servo motor from the BM44xx series with a shaft-mounted single-turn absolute encoder. The SI configuration places the encoder directly on the motor shaft, providing direct position feedback with high mechanical coupling. Winding 012 is rated for 230 V AC operation. Document reference 08-0305-1075 identifies the specific technical data sheet revision.

  • Cable gland M20 × 1.5 at drive end
  • Smooth cylindrical body, painted or anodized finish

Working Principle:
Three-phase sinusoidal currents from the servo drive create a rotating stator field. The NdFeB rotor locks to this field synchronously. The shaft-mounted Hiperface encoder generates absolute position data encoded in Gray code, transmitted to the drive via differential RS-485 signals. The drive uses this data for real-time closed-loop position, velocity, and torque control.

Advantages:

  • Direct shaft encoder coupling eliminates backlash in position feedback
  • Single-turn absolute: instant position on power-up
  • 0.8 kW output in compact 44 mm frame
  • Robust construction for industrial duty

Applicable Industries:

  • Machine Tool Spindle Drives
  • Press Feed Axes
  • Conveyor Drives
  • Packaging Machines
  • Plastic Injection Molding (clamping unit)
  • Woodworking Machinery

Compatible Drives:

  • BAUMULLER BM4621, BM4623, BM4661, BM4663

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not apply axial loads exceeding 50 N on shaft
  • Ensure encoder cable is routed away from power cables (min 100 mm separation)
  • Ambient temperature: 0 – 40 °C (derate 1% per °C above 25 °C)
  • Do not disassemble encoder coupling; it is factory-calibrated
