Product Description:

The AM8031-0DB1-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a compact rotary actuator, it supplies tightly regulated torque and speed to packaging lines, pick-and-place axes, or gantry modules that rely on coordinated multi-axis motion. The unit belongs to the standard motor variant, identified by series type Standard and version Standard, and it uses overall length 1 for applications that need moderate continuous duty in space-restricted control cabinets.

In electrical terms, the motor’s holding brake is energized at 24 VDC, allowing use with common cabinet power supplies. Power, brake, and feedback conductors exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, so the cabling can be oriented to fit machine contours. Position data are delivered by a 23-bit encoder that uses OCT multi-turn technology, which provides high resolution across multiple revolutions for accurate interpolation. Mechanically, the front mounting interface follows an IEC flange of 72 mm, providing interchangeability with actuators of similar size. The motor includes a holding brake, giving static torque retention during emergency stops or when power is removed.

The brake’s capacity is matched to a static load window of 2 Nm to 3.5 Nm, depending on the selected rotor length, so the axis remains fixed and unintended movement is limited when de-energized. Drive couplings attach to a smooth shaft, a design that minimizes wear from keyed interfaces and supports backlash-free clamp hubs used in high-precision motion sequences. Internally, the stator uses Winding code D, which aligns the motor’s electrical constants with Beckhoff AX series servo amplifiers so rated current, back EMF, and thermal behavior stay within standard drive parameters. This arrangement supports accurate motion control in compact machine sections where consistent shaft positioning is required.
