Product Description:

The AM8031-0C20-0000 is manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. The unit is a compact servo motor that supplies accurately modulated torque to rotary axes in automated packaging, pick-and-place, and assembly equipment. Integrated with Beckhoff drive amplifiers, it closes the position loop to support coordinated multi-axis motion, high repeatability, and fast cycle times. In these applications, it responds to changing command values so that acceleration, deceleration, and steady-state speed remain consistent through repeated production cycles. Its geometry and electrical interface follow the modular layout used across the series.

Its mechanical interface uses a 72 mm square flange that centers the stator against gearheads or machine frames while maintaining shaft alignment. Power and feedback conductors exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing cable routing to be oriented after installation and reducing strain in tight cabinets. The output end uses a smooth shaft, so torque is transferred by friction couplings or shrink discs rather than keys. Rotor position data comes from an OCT multi-turn feedback device, giving both absolute position and revolution count to the controller. Because the motor is supplied without a holding brake, any static load must be secured by drive torque or an external mechanical lock during power-off conditions.

This motor uses the Standard version, which suits general-purpose duty cycles with nominal rotor inertia and cooling capacity. In the Synchronous Servomotors family, winding code C identifies the coil arrangement used for the intended current range of compatible drives. An overall length code 1 keeps the housing short, which helps when installation depth is limited. The shorter housing can also simplify placement near guards, transfer tooling, and other space-limited machine sections.
