Product Description:

The AM8041-1E11-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Classified as a standard version, the motor serves as a compact drive element that translates electrical energy into controlled torque for pick-and-place modules, conveyors, and general motion platforms in industrial automation. Its construction supports consistent mounting patterns across neighboring axes, which helps keep spacing uniform and leaves more room for couplings, cabling, and adjacent hardware. This motor type is commonly used where rapid starts, controlled stops, and repeatable positioning are required across short-cycle automation tasks.

An integrated holding brake operates at 24 VDC, aligning with the low-voltage control rails used in many machine panels. The housing uses a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, so power and signal leads can be routed to a convenient side and the cable exit can be adjusted to suit the machine layout. Rotor angle is monitored by OCT single-turn feedback, which supplies absolute position for every revolution and eliminates routine homing cycles. An 87 mm flange provides the mechanical interface for mounting, and torque is transmitted by a shaft with a groove and feather key that resists slip under dynamic load. The combination of absolute feedback and an adjustable cable exit helps fit the motor into tightly packed modules where access is limited.

The holding brake exerts 9 Nm of torque, which is enough to keep the shaft fixed when the drive is disabled on moderate-inertia axes. Its keyway geometry follows DIN 6885, supporting compatibility with couplings machined to the same standard. Electromagnetic behavior is indicated by winding code E, which corresponds to the resistance and inductance values expected by compatible drives. The overall length code 1 housing keeps the assembly short, which helps maintain clearance around couplings, cable bends, and nearby axes in compact work areas. When power is removed, the brake can help prevent drift on vertical or inclined axes between motion cycles.
