Product Description:

The AM8023-0E21-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff and offered in the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a rotary actuator in industrial automation, it converts controlled electrical energy from a drive into precise rotational motion for positioning axes, feeder stages, or pick-and-place heads. This standard version is suitable for general-purpose motion tasks that require compact size, integrated feedback, and coordinated drive control. It is intended for applications where repeatable movement and stable servo response are important during continuous machine operation.

One electrical feature is its brake circuit, which accepts a supply of 24 VDC; this voltage energizes the release coil so the built-in brake can disengage without an external converter. An encoder identified as OCT multi-turn provides absolute position recall after power loss. Mechanical integration is simplified by the 58 mm flange, a standardized square interface that supports accurate alignment during installation. When the shaft is locked, the brake supplies 2 Nm of holding torque, helping prevent drift on vertical or overhung loads during shutdown. Thermal behavior and torque-speed curves are linked to the stator’s electrical characteristics, which are grouped under Winding Code E so the motor can be matched to the available DC-bus voltage and the required acceleration profile.

For wiring, the motor uses a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing the cable outlet to be positioned for tight cabinet layouts and reduced bending stress. Overall housing size is referenced by length code 3, which indicates the third length increment within the AM8023 frame and sets the stack height for the magnetic package. A smooth shaft simplifies coupler installation where keys or serrations are unnecessary and also helps reduce particle retention in clean production areas. This configuration is ready for integration with AX5000 or third-party EtherCAT drives.
