Product Description:

The AM8051-1G10-0000 is a synchronous servo motor built by Beckhoff and assigned to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. In industrial automation, this motor operates as a compact rotary actuator that delivers tightly regulated position and velocity for packaging axes, pick-and-place stations, and general motion modules. Its electrical and mechanical interfaces align with other Beckhoff drive components so machine builders can integrate a matched motor-drive set without additional adapters.

Power and feedback conductors are routed through a rotatable angular connector, allowing the cable outlet to be turned to suit the cabinet or cable-chain layout. Rotor position is reported by a single-turn OCT encoder, which combines optical sensing and digital communication to supply absolute angle data to the servo drive at startup. The mounting flange measures 104 mm, giving the motor a standardized pilot diameter for direct attachment to gearboxes or machine frames that share this size class. This model is supplied without a holding brake, so when power is removed, the application must rely on external clamping or drive torque to maintain position. The output shaft uses a groove and feather key machined according to DIN 6885, creating a positive-fit connection that transmits torque to pulleys or couplings while preventing slip under load.

Both the motor series type and the version are Standard, so the housing dimensions, cooling method, and insulation follow Beckhoff’s baseline design for the line. Inside the stator, the winding uses code G, which matches current, resistance, and torque constants to the corresponding servo amplifier settings. An overall length code of 1 indicates the shortest stack in the AM8051 frame, minimizing axial space while limiting continuous torque to the entry level for this frame size. The motor belongs to the Synchronous Servomotors product series and is intended for use with Beckhoff motion-control platforms.
