Product Description:

The AM8042-1F00-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a rotary actuator, it converts controlled electrical energy into precise torque and speed for positioning axes and continuous-duty drives in industrial automation systems. Its design supports high dynamic response and integrates well with EtherCAT-based motion controllers used for coordinated servo operation. This operating profile suits indexing tables, handling axes, and other machinery that depends on repeatable motion and responsive speed control.

It uses a rotatable angular connector, and an optional terminal box is available for applications that need a different cable entry arrangement. The mounting interface uses an 87 mm flange, allowing direct attachment to gearboxes or machine frames built on standard IEC patterns. Rotor position is reported by a two-pole resolver, giving analog sine-cosine signals for closed-loop commutation in electrically noisy environments. Mechanical output is delivered through a shaft with a groove and feather key, which provides positive torque transfer to mating couplings that follow DIN dimensions. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so any load that must remain fixed at standstill requires external holding torque or a separate clamping device.

The motor uses overall length code 2, indicating a medium housing depth that balances continuous power with installation space. It also uses winding code F, so the connected drive must match the corresponding voltage constant and current limits for that coil set. The keyway geometry conforms to DIN 6885, which supports compatibility with standard hub components. The motor is supplied in the Standard version, which uses the baseline sealing and bearing arrangement for general-purpose servo duty.
