Schneider Electric BMH1001P16F2A Lexium 32 BMH 3.3 N·m 6000 rpm 100 mm Flange Brake Keyed Shaft Servo Motor
Schneider Electric BMH1001P16F2A Lexium 32 BMH 3.3 N·m servo motor, 100 mm flange.
Description
About the BMH
About the BMH
The BMH1001P16F2A is a Schneider Electric Lexium 32 BMH medium-inertia servo motor rated 3.3 N·m continuous stall torque at 6000 rpm maximum mechanical speed, built with a holding brake on a 100 mm international standard flange. It pairs with LXM32.D12N4 or LXM32.D18N4 servo drives and reports position through a single-turn SinCos Hiperface encoder (32768 points/turn) for automatic motor identification at drive start-up.
Selection Notes
At 3.3 N·m continuous stall torque and 3.15 A continuous stall current, the BMH1001P16F2A sits on the 100 mm BMH frame size paired with LXM32.D12N4 or LXM32.D18N4 servo drives. Choose this variant over the brake-less BMH1001P16A2A when the axis must hold position with power off; vertical or overhauling loads on this 100 mm frame need the 5.5 N·m holding brake rather than drive-side regeneration alone. The 32768-point/turn single-turn SinCos Hiperface encoder reports absolute position directly to the drive, so no separate homing move or battery-backed multi-turn encoder is required for single-turn axes.
Applications
As a medium-inertia BMH motor, it fits load profiles where inertia matching to the driven mechanism matters as much as raw acceleration: ball-screw and belt axes, indexing tables and gantry drives on packaging and material-handling machines are typical fits for this torque and speed class.
