Product Description:

The AM8031-1D20-0000 synchronous servo motor is manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Designed as a built-in drive element for precision positioning systems, the component supplies tightly regulated torque and velocity wherever closed-loop motion is required in industrial automation cells, pick-and-place modules, or feeder mechanisms. Its electromagnetic design supports fast acceleration, and the compact frame eases integration into machine layouts that must conserve space. This makes it suitable for axes that must start, stop, and reverse direction with repeatable motion quality under changing loads.

It features a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, which allows the power and signal exits to be aligned with the available cable path. Rotor position is captured by an integrated OCT multi-turn encoder, allowing the drive to recover absolute position across multiple revolutions without battery backup. Because the position value is retained over multiple turns, homing moves can be reduced in applications that need an immediate axis reference after startup. The motor mounts with a 72 mm square flange that matches common mid-size servo gearheads. The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so static load retention must be provided externally when needed. It also has length code 1, which indicates the shortest stator stack in this frame and helps reduce overall axis depth.

The AM8031 uses the standard motor series type, so its materials, insulation class, and bearing set follow the baseline configuration for general-purpose duty cycles. Power is transmitted through a shaft with groove and feather key, delivering positive torque transfer to pulleys or rigid couplings. That shaft style is well suited to keyed machine elements where slip-free torque transfer is required. The key geometry follows DIN 6885, which allows standard key stock to fit the shaft and hub. The motor is provided as a standard version, so no stainless construction or increased-inertia option is included. Its electromagnetic layout uses winding code D, which provides moderate continuous torque while maintaining strong peak current capability for rapid indexing moves.
