Product Description:

The AM3551-1030 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff and supplied within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Designed for closed-loop motion axes, the unit converts drive current into controlled rotary movement for positioning, conveying, or dynamic handling tasks in automated machinery. Its electromechanical design suits the medium-power range, where high repeatability and rapid acceleration are often required. This makes the motor a practical fit for equipment that depends on precise starts, stops, and speed changes during repeated operating cycles.

It employs a Hiperface single-turn 128 SinCos from F6 encoder, which provides absolute position data over one revolution with analog sine-cosine signals so the controller can recover shaft angle immediately after power-up. The motor mounts to machinery through a 104 mm square flange that aligns with common mounting plates or gearbox interfaces. Because the motor is supplied without a holding brake, static load retention must be handled by an external clamp or by drive-generated torque when the application allows it. The rotor uses an increased mass moment of inertia, which can support smoother speed behavior on loads with greater angular momentum. Its housing uses overall length code 1, keeping the motor short in the axial direction where installation depth is limited.

Power is transmitted through a shaft with a groove and feather key, which creates a positive mechanical connection that helps prevent slip during torque peaks. This keyway arrangement follows DIN 6885, so the shaft geometry matches widely used hubs and couplings. The external layout and encoder interface support straightforward integration with compatible motion-control systems. Connector placement and cable routing also remain orderly in machines where several axes are installed close together and consistent mechanical alignment is important.
