Product Description:

The AM3042-0E40-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff and positioned within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for closed-loop positioning and velocity tasks in industrial automation lines, where compact rotary axes must follow controller commands with tight accuracy and low latency. This operating role makes it suitable for equipment that depends on fast response, stable speed regulation, and repeatable motion over frequent duty cycles.

The motor mounts to machinery with a flange that measures 87 mm, a size that matches mid-frame gearheads and couplings while keeping the installation footprint moderate. Rotor motion is detected by a Hiperface multi-turn 128 SinCos encoder from the F6 family, giving absolute position data over multiple revolutions for repeatable homing and accurate position recovery after power cycling. Power is transmitted through a smooth shaft, so the motor can be paired with clamp-style hubs or press-fit couplers without keyways. Internal copper fill and slot geometry correspond to winding code E, which sets the voltage constant and thermal loading expected by the matching drive.

Cabling flexibility is added by a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing conductors to be routed away from nearby components and reducing bend stress at the housing. The unit belongs to the standard motor series type, so it uses the baseline configuration for this motor line rather than a special high-speed or reinforced variant. Mechanical depth follows overall length code 2, which matches the stator stack to nominal torque requirements for medium-inertia loads. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so static holding must come from the drive or an external mechanism. It also belongs to the Synchronous Servomotors product series and is suited to compact robotic joints, feed rollers, and pick-and-place axes.
