Product Description:

The AM8051-3E00-0000 is a synchronous servo motor built by Beckhoff and assigned to the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a rotary actuator for industrial automation, it supplies closed-loop torque and position control to machinery such as pick-and-place gantries, packaging axes, and electronics assembly tables. By integrating with Beckhoff drive controllers, the motor converts drive current into precise shaft rotation that can be coordinated with PLC motion tasks for multi-axis interpolation and synchronized line operation. This operating role suits applications that combine repeated indexing, controlled acceleration, and accurate stop positions within compact machine layouts.

Power and feedback cabling is routed through a rotatable angular connector, allowing strain-relieved wiring in compact cabinets. Rotor position is returned through a two-pole resolver, enabling the drive to track shaft angle during rapid acceleration and deceleration. The motor uses a 104 mm flange size, matching IEC mounting patterns on gearboxes and machine frames. Because the motor is supplied without a holding brake, vertical loads must be secured by external means or by drive torque when power is removed. External ingress is limited by a radial shaft-sealing ring with IP65 protection, so the front bearing and encoder remain isolated from dust and low-pressure water jets.

The output shaft uses a shaft with groove and feather key, which transmits torque into couplings without slip and supports positive mechanical engagement. The housing uses overall length code 1, which helps when multiple axes are arranged in parallel and axial clearance is limited. Thermal behavior and torque density follow winding code E, which matches the current and voltage profile expected by compatible Beckhoff drives. The motor is supplied in the Standard version, so it follows the baseline configuration for this model range without special mechanical or electrical options.
