Product Description:

The AM3042-0E30-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff for the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a compact rotary actuator, it converts drive-controller current into precisely regulated torque and speed for positioning axes, pick-and-place heads, or light conveyor sections in industrial automation. Its permanent-magnet rotor and sinusoidal stator windings support smooth torque production across the speed range. This layout helps the motor respond predictably in distributed EtherCAT drive architectures.

Mechanically, the motor uses a flange size of 87 mm, which sets the pilot diameter and mounting bolt circle. The housing uses overall length code 2, giving a medium body length that balances torque output with installation depth. Power and signal conductors exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing cable routing away from moving parts or enclosure walls. Closed-loop control is supported by a Hiperface single-turn 128 SinCos from F6 encoder, which sends absolute position data to the drive for accurate commutation. The motor is the standard variant of the AM family, so it uses the baseline thermal limits and insulation ratings of the platform.

The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so static loads must be secured by external locking devices or maintained with continuous drive torque. A smooth shaft simplifies coupling with clamp hubs and avoids keyway stress concentrations. That shaft style is commonly used where clamping couplings are preferred over keyed connections. Electromagnetic behavior follows winding code E, which sets the phase resistance and inductance for compatibility with Beckhoff AX series inverters. It belongs to the Synchronous Servomotors group and uses a permanently excited rotor that supports accurate vector control during high-dynamic positioning cycles.
