Product Description:

The AM8031-0F20-0000 is a servo motor developed by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It serves as a compact rotary actuator that converts drive current from a matching amplifier into precise angular motion for industrial automation tasks such as gantry positioning, carton filling, and other synchronized machine movements. The unit belongs to the Synchronous Servomotors product line and is intended for applications that require accurate speed control and repeatable positioning. Its compact format also suits installations where direct coupling and limited mounting space are important.

The electromechanical interface uses a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing cable exit to be aligned with machine routing and helping reduce bending stress at the connection point. Position data is returned through OCT multi-turn feedback, so commutation and absolute shaft position across multiple revolutions are sent to the controller through a single hybrid cable. Mechanical coupling is provided by a 72 mm flange size, which fits standardized mounting patterns used in compact machinery. The output uses a smooth shaft, making it suitable for backlash-free clamp couplings and gearheads that rely on frictional locking. For systems that handle stopping electrically or through external means, the motor is supplied without a holding brake, which helps keep rotating mass lower.

The electromagnetic layout uses the F winding code, which indicates the voltage constant and nominal current for this electrical variant. A short housing, indicated by overall length code 1, keeps the motor depth low in tightly spaced axis groups and compact machine layouts. The design uses the Standard motor series type and the Standard version, so it does not include special seals, cooling jackets, or reinforced bearings. This configuration is suited to general industrial motion duties where standard mechanical features and compact dimensions are preferred.
