Product Description:

The AM8032-1EH0-0000 is a rotary actuator manufactured by Beckhoff. It is part of the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Within automated machinery, this motor supplies precisely controlled torque and speed to positioning tables, pick-and-place heads, and other dynamic motion axes. Closed-loop servo control allows these applications to perform repetitive movements while correcting deviations caused by changing loads or operating conditions.

The integrated encoder provides 24-bit resolution, so the drive can issue motion commands in sub-arc-second increments. The encoder operates on the OCT multi-turn principle, which retains the absolute shaft angle and total number of revolutions after a loss of power. The mechanical interface uses a 72 mm square flange that fits compact gearboxes and standardized mounting brackets. Functional safety is supported up to SIL 2, allowing the motor to participate in safe torque-off or safely limited speed functions without external sensors. The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so drive torque or an external clamping device must maintain the shaft position when necessary. Omitting the brake reduces the motor’s mass and rotational inertia, which can support faster acceleration on dynamic axes.

Cabling can enter through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing the power and feedback exits to be oriented for the machine layout or moving cable chains. Output torque is delivered through a shaft with a groove and feather key, providing positive mechanical engagement for pulleys or couplings. The keyway conforms to DIN 6885, ensuring compatibility with drive components that use the same dimensional standard. The motor’s electrical characteristics follow winding code E, which provides the resistance and inductance values expected by compatible Beckhoff AX series drives. Its overall length follows length code 2, allowing the motor to fit medium-depth machine frames while preserving a compact installation profile.
