Product Description:

The AM8031-1C10-0000 is a synchronous servo motor offered by Beckhoff as part of the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. This motor acts as an electromechanical actuator that delivers precise torque and speed control for motion axes in industrial automation. Tightly regulated positioning and velocity loops are used in packaging, material handling, and machine-tool applications where repeatable motion is required across changing operating speeds.

The motor mounts to machinery with a flange that measures 72 mm, establishing the bolt circle and shaft height for compatible gearheads or couplings. This compact mounting format is useful when neighboring axes or machine guarding leave little room around the drive end. Electrical power and encoder lines exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing the outlet to be oriented toward available cabinet space while maintaining strain relief. Rotor position is monitored by an OCT single-turn feedback system, so a single revolution is resolved electronically for closed-loop commutation and drive diagnostics. The housing length corresponds to overall length code 1, indicating the shortest build within the AM8031 frame and helping reduce motor mass and footprint where installation depth is limited.

Mechanical holding force is not provided because the unit is supplied without a holding brake, so external clamping devices or motor torque must sustain axis position when power is removed. Power transmission occurs through a shaft with groove and feather key, giving positive engagement with keyed hubs in accordance with DIN 6885 to help prevent slip under cyclic torque. Thermal and electrical behavior follow winding code C, which sets the coil impedance and current rating expected by the drive regulator. This arrangement supports keyed mechanical connections and closed-loop servo operation without a separate brake assembly.
