Product Description:

The AM3042-0E41-0000 synchronous servo motor is manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Designed for industrial automation, the unit supplies closed-loop torque and velocity to indexing tables, pick-and-place heads, packaging stations, and motion-sensitive robotics. Its form factor and digital feedback let a controller command rapid, repeatable motion while keeping mechanical integration straightforward. This makes it suitable for axes that require consistent response during frequent starts, stops, and short indexing moves. The standard mechanical interface supports installation in existing housings without requiring changes to fixture geometry, which suits modular production lines and compact axis layouts.

The motor has a flange diameter of 87 mm and a smooth shaft, so the rotor can couple to backlash-free clamping elements without keyways. Cabling can exit through a rotatable angular connector or an optional terminal box, allowing routing that better fits crowded cabinets and moving machine sections. The housing uses overall length code 2, and the short body helps reduce inertia while easing installation in tight spaces. Electrically, the motor uses winding code E, which indicates the wire gauge and turns ratio used for rated current and voltage matching.

Dynamic stopping is provided by a 24 VDC brake circuit that energizes the motor’s integrated 24 V holding brake. When disengaged, the brake clears the drive train, and when power is removed it clamps with a holding torque of 9 Nm to keep the axis from drifting at standstill. Position data is transmitted through the Hiperface multi-turn 128 SinCos encoder from the F6 family, giving the servo drive absolute feedback across multiple revolutions. This feedback supports startup without a reference move and helps the controller maintain accurate interpolated motion during repeated positioning cycles.
