Active production — category strategy fit
The BEH18MD0433MA5C: It sits within the Lexium 18 range, Schneider's compact servo motor family for general-purpose motion control in packaging, material handling, and assembly automation.
Torque, speed, and thermal budget for the application
Peak stall torque reaches 4.45 Nm at 220 V, giving a 3.5× torque overload margin for acceleration and deceleration phases; the continuous stall current is 2.6 A, while the maximum permanent current is 8.7 A — the drive must supply the peak current for short-duration moves without exceeding the motor's thermal limit. The torque constant is 0.488 N·m/A at 40 °C, and the back EMF constant is 33.9 V/krpm at 40 °C — these values define the current-to-torque relationship and the voltage rise with speed, critical for drive tuning and bus voltage headroom at 6000 rpm maximum mechanical speed.
Encoder feedback and IP67 sealing for wet environments
The 17-bit magnetic multi-turn encoder provides 131,072 points per turn absolute position feedback — no homing sequence needed after power loss, which reduces cycle time in multi-axis systems. IP67 rating means the motor body and shaft seal withstand washdown and dust ingress, making it suitable for food-and-beverage, pharmaceutical, and other wet-area lines where hose-down cleaning is routine.
Mounting and mechanical interface
The Asian standard 60 mm flange with four 5.5 mm mounting holes on a 70 mm bolt circle matches the common NEMA 23 frame pattern — it bolts directly to standard gearboxes and machine frames without adapter plates. Depth is 70.2 mm (excluding shaft), width 88 mm, height 60 mm — the compact envelope fits into tight machine cavities; the two-connector electrical interface (male/female) simplifies cable routing and replacement.
No holding brake — application constraint
This variant ships without a holding brake (: Without), so the load must be held by the drive's holding torque at standstill or by an external mechanical brake on vertical axes — factor this into the safety circuit design for Z-axis applications.
