Baldor Electric Company BM3546 Brake Motor

The Baldor BM3546 Brake Motor is a 1 hp, 1725 rpm, three‑phase motor with an integrated braking device, designed for reliable stopping and holding in light‑industrial drives. Housed in a 56‑frame Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) enclosure, it operates at 60 Hz with a service factor of 1.15 and carries Baldor catalog code 3426M. The BM3546 is commonly offered in 230/460 V configurations, providing flexible wiring options for standard Baldor electrical installations. With its built‑in brake, the motor engages quickly to stop motion when power is removed and then holds position, reducing back‑drive and improving cycle times on automated lines. The TEFC construction protects windings from dust, dirt, and oil, making it suitable for general‑purpose mounting in workshop and light‑industrial environments. Typical applications include conveyors, material‑handling equipment, packaging and end‑of‑line machinery, and other automation tasks that require precise, repeatable stops and reliable holding during idle periods.
