Product Description:

The AM8041-0E20-0000 is a synchronous servo motor made by Beckhoff for the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Serving as the mechanical output element of a drive system, the unit couples directly to gearboxes or machine shafts and translates current commands from the servo inverter into accurate, repeatable rotary motion. By maintaining synchronous speed with the control frequency, it supports precise positioning, stable velocity control, and rapid reversals that are essential for pick-and-place gantries, printing lines, and automated packaging stations. Its compact servo design also makes it suitable for machines that need accurate motion without a large motor footprint.

The motor attaches to machinery through an 87 mm flange that follows IEC size conventions, so the centering diameter and bolt circle align with standard gearheads and mounting plates. Power and signal lines enter through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing the cable exit to be oriented after installation for cleaner routing inside tight enclosures. Position information is provided by an integrated OCT multi-turn feedback system that reports absolute position over many revolutions, which removes the need for a homing cycle at startup. A smooth shaft permits backlash-free clamping couplings or press-fit pulleys without the stress risers associated with keyways. The motor operates without a holding brake, so the load must be secured by drive torque or an external mechanical lock when power is removed.

The electromagnetic layout uses winding code E, which matches the motor to compatible medium-power Beckhoff drives. The motor also uses overall length code 1, which indicates the shortest stator length available for this flange class and helps keep rotor inertia low. It is listed as a standard motor series type with a standard version, so it follows the regular configuration used for general-purpose servo applications. This arrangement suits installations that need predictable integration with common drive components and standard machine interfaces.
