Product Description:

The AM8041-0D10-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff for the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a torque-generating element, it interfaces directly with the drive amplifier to position or regulate loads such as indexing tables, gantry axes, and feed rolls used in industrial automation cells. Its synchronous design supports accurate speed control and repeatable positioning in equipment that depends on coordinated rotary motion. This type of motor is commonly paired with servo systems that need quick response during starts, stops, and direction changes.

Field wiring reaches the motor through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing the cable exit to be oriented without forcing tight twists in the wiring path. This arrangement can simplify routing in enclosed machine spaces where cable bend radius is limited. A mounting flange of 87 mm mates with compatible gearboxes or machine frames. Rotor position is reported by a single-turn OCT encoder, so the drive controller receives interpolated angle data for stable velocity control. The shaft end is a smooth shaft, which avoids keyways and suits clamp couplings or shrink discs. The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so the load must be held by drive torque or an external mechanical lock when power is removed.

The motor belongs to the Standard performance class of the AM family, giving it a balanced torque-to-inertia ratio for general-purpose motion tasks. An overall length code of 1 keeps the housing short and helps with integration in compact machines. Electrical behavior is set by winding code D, which corresponds to the current, voltage, and base speed combination used with compatible servo inverters. It uses the standard mechanical version for this motor family, so common service parts such as seals and bearings match the baseline design. The short housing can also leave more room for guarding, couplings, and adjacent machine components.
