Product Description:

The AM247M-0001 belongs to Beckhoff's AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a permanent-magnet AC motor, it delivers accurate position and speed control for gantries, packaging machinery, and other automation axes. It works with Beckhoff drive controllers through a single-cable solution, which carries motor power and feedback in one connection and simplifies cable routing around moving machine elements. This arrangement lets the motor convert electrical energy into rotary motion while returning rotor angle data for closed-loop precision. The combined power and feedback concept supports deterministic motion profiles during synchronized starts, stops, and position changes.

This model uses a brake supply of 24 VDC, so the brake can release when the controller is enabled. Rotor position is reported by a two-pole resolver, which provides stable feedback across a wide temperature range and under vibration. The mounting interface uses a 194 mm square flange, allowing the motor to fit machine interfaces built for this face size. When power is removed from the brake, it holds the shaft with 70 Nm of static torque, which helps secure vertical loads and reduce unwanted movement at rest. A smooth shaft supports backlash-free clamping hubs and avoids the stress concentrations associated with a keyway.

The brake is a holding type that stays engaged by spring force and opens only when power is applied, which supports safe torque off sequences. This frame size balances inertia and torque density for mid-range loads, making it suitable for axes that need stable acceleration and controlled stopping. It also integrates with TwinCAT motion software within Beckhoff motion systems, so the axis can remain in the same control environment as other coordinated components. Because the brake can hold the shaft at rest, the drive can reduce motor current during standby without allowing unintended movement. That behavior is useful on machines that pause frequently between indexed moves.
