Product Description:

The AM8023-0E21-1001 is a three-phase synchronous servo motor developed by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. The unit converts drive current from a matched amplifier into precisely regulated rotary motion for positioning, indexing, and speed-controlled tasks in automated machinery. When integrated into EtherCAT-based platforms, the motor provides deterministic torque delivery, enabling tight motion loops in packaging cells, pick-and-place axes, and similar industrial automation applications.

Its mechanical interface uses a flange size of 58 mm, allowing direct coupling to compact machine frames without adapter plates. Position feedback is provided by an OCT multi-turn encoder, which supplies absolute position data across multiple revolutions to the drive controller. A spring-applied holding brake delivers 2 Nm of static torque, securing vertical loads when power is removed. The brake coil accepts 24 VDC, so the same auxiliary supply used for sensors can also control brake release. Classified as the Standard motor series type, this model follows the baseline thermal and dimensional configuration used across the AM family.

The housing depth corresponds to length code 3, providing a medium rotor stack that balances continuous torque with reduced mass. Power is transmitted through a smooth shaft, simplifying the use of clamping couplings and minimizing backlash. This unit is a special version, indicating that certain materials or options differ from the standard model while retaining compatibility with AM-series drives. Internally, winding code E establishes the resistance and inductance values expected by the servo amplifier. These electrical values allow the amplifier to regulate current accurately during acceleration, steady-speed operation, and deceleration. The smooth output interface supports precise alignment with compact couplings, while the medium housing length provides space for the rotor and brake assembly without requiring an oversized machine envelope.
