Product Description:

Beckhoff’s AM8041-1D10-0000 belongs to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series and serves as a rotary drive element for general-purpose motion axes in industrial automation. The motor accepts command currents from a matching EtherCAT drive, converts them into mechanical power, and fits into installations that require high repeatability and fast cycle changes. It is intended for automation tasks that need repeatable rotary movement, such as indexing, conveying, and positioning duties. Its servo design supports accurate speed and position control during frequent start-and-stop cycles, helping the axis respond consistently to changing commands.

The housing carries an 87 mm flange, so it can bolt directly to gearboxes or machine frames of comparable size. Position data are returned through an OCT single-turn encoder, enabling the controller to close the loop with one-revolution absolute resolution. Power and feedback wiring exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, and the connector can be turned to reduce cable strain in tight cabinets. The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so external clamping devices must keep vertical loads at rest when the drive is de-energized. Shaft geometry follows DIN 6885, aligning the keyway tolerances with standard couplings and pulleys.

Mechanical power leaves the motor through a shaft with groove and feather key, a form that helps prevent slippage during reversing and rapid acceleration. The internal copper layout uses winding code D, which sets the voltage constant and current draw for use with mid-range Beckhoff inverters. The frame’s overall length code 1 keeps the active stack short, allowing installation in shallow enclosures while maintaining rated torque. This layout is useful where motor length must stay compact without giving up keyed shaft transmission. Because this is the standard version in the AM8041 line, it uses the baseline mechanical and electrical configuration for that motor group.
