Product Description:

The AM217M-0000 belongs to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series manufactured by Beckhoff for Compact Drive Technology applications. It is a low-power rotary actuator that connects directly to a 230 V single-phase supply and is intended for axes where a smooth shaft and lightweight 0.8 kg frame minimize moving mass. Because the motor is supplied without a holding brake, static position holding must rely on external clamping or drive torque, while the integrated two-pole resolver provides rotor angle feedback to the control loop.

The motor delivers a continuous mechanical output of 0.11 kW at a rated speed of 6000 rpm. At this operating point, it produces 0.18 Nm and draws a phase current of 0.89 A, figures that align with a winding resistance of 22 Ω and an inductance of 4.7 mH. During dynamic events, the inverter may command up to 4.3 A, making use of the motor’s peak current capability for brief acceleration bursts. The electromagnetic design yields a torque constant of 0.22 Nm/A, so every additional ampere increases shaft torque in a predictable linear manner. A 194 mm square flange provides the mechanical interface, and the smooth shaft simplifies coupling to gearheads or pulleys without keyways.

At standstill, the motor can hold 0.2 Nm continuously while drawing 0.93 A, assisted by a rotor inertia of 0.12 kg cm² that favors quick reversals in pick-and-place systems. Thermal equilibrium is reached slowly thanks to a thermal time constant of 7 min, giving the winding time to dissipate heat during intermittent overloads. Permissible external forces are 20 N axial and 60 N radial at rated speed, allowing direct belt tension or light pinion loading. The motor also tolerates resolver wiring and power cables routed together because the feedback is immune to phase-aligned noise.
