Product Description:

The AM8012-1C20-0000 servo motor is manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is a compact rotary actuator intended for closed-loop positioning and speed control in conveyors, pick-and-place axes, and assembly stations. The permanent-magnet rotor and three-phase stator used in synchronous motor design let the unit generate torque in step with drive commands. That response supports repeatable motion, smooth acceleration, and accurate speed regulation during coordinated machine cycles.

A rotatable angular connector or terminal box can be oriented during installation so cable runs clear adjacent components. Position data is provided by an OCT multi-turn encoder that retains absolute position across multiple revolutions without batteries. This feedback arrangement gives the drive immediate position information after power-up and supports precise commutation during operation. Mounting follows a 40 mm square flange that fits miniature gearheads and helps conserve installation space. Because the unit is supplied without a holding brake, holding force must come from servo torque or an external clamp when power is removed. Mechanical power is delivered through a shaft with groove and feather key, giving a positive connection to couplings or pulleys.

The motor series type is Standard, indicating that it does not use optional high-dynamic rotor or enhanced cooling features. Its housing uses overall length code 2, which suits installations with limited axial space and helps the motor fit behind guards or machine plates. Keyway geometry follows DIN 6885, so commercially available keys seat correctly in the groove. Electrically, the stator uses winding code C, which matches the resistance and inductance values expected by compatible AX5000 drives. These electrical and mechanical characteristics must be matched with the selected drive, coupling, and available mounting space.
