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.

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
