Product Description:

The AM8031-0FH1-0000 is a Beckhoff servo motor in the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is a rotary drive element intended for precise motion tasks within industrial automation cells, where tight velocity and position loops are required. The motor is suited for packaging equipment, material-handling systems, and small machining axes that need accurate positioning and repeatable speed control during continuous operation.

The electromechanical package integrates a holding brake energized at 24 VDC, so the axis can maintain position during power-off states. Position feedback is supplied by a high-resolution 24-bit encoder that operates with the OCT multi-turn scanning principle, allowing absolute position capture across multiple revolutions while minimizing cabling. A 72 mm flange fits directly onto mounting interfaces common to mid-frame machinery, and the smooth exterior simplifies sealing against coolant or dust. The encoder format identified as OCT multi-turn supports the single-cable interface used with Beckhoff drive controllers, so motor data and feedback signals pass through one connection. During dynamic stops, the integrated brake can supply a holding torque of 2 Nm to 3.5 Nm, depending on the selected stator length, which corresponds to overall length code 1.

The safety architecture meets SIL 2 requirements, allowing the motor to participate in safety-related stop and speed-monitoring functions when paired with a certified drive. Mechanical output is transferred through a smooth shaft, which avoids key stress points and supports backlash-free clamping hubs. Power and feedback conductors are routed through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, enabling flexible cable orientation inside tight cabinets. The electromagnetic design follows winding code F, which sets the coil resistance and thermal characteristics used by the drive for current limits.
