Product Description:

The AM8061-1G21-0000 servo motor is produced by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is used in automated equipment to drive rotary axes that need accurate positioning, repeatable speed control, and smooth motion through frequent start-stop cycles. By combining electronic commutation with internal feedback, it delivers controlled torque to conveyors, pick-and-place units, and machine tool spindles while allowing the connected drive to adjust acceleration, deceleration, and position in real time. This operating behavior supports synchronized motion where axis response must remain stable as process demand changes. The motor is suited to installations where a compact servo package must provide both dynamic response and consistent control feedback.

The holding brake is energized by 24 VDC, a voltage level commonly used by industrial control circuits and low-voltage power distribution. Rotor position is returned through an OCT multi-turn encoder, giving the controller absolute position data across several revolutions without a homing cycle after startup. A square 142 mm flange follows standard mounting patterns so the motor can seat directly on compatible frames or gear units with accurate alignment. Power and signal lines exit through a rotatable angular connector, which helps route the cable in confined machine spaces and reduces strain from awkward cable bends. For varying load conditions, the motor provides 20 Nm to 36 Nm of static holding torque for medium-inertia axes in packaging, woodworking, and material-handling systems. That combination is useful in machines where motor access is limited and cable exit direction affects surrounding hardware.

The output shaft follows DIN 6885 and uses a shaft with groove and feather key, allowing positive torque transmission with standard couplings and hubs. The motor uses winding code G, which identifies the electrical winding assigned to this frame and supports matching drive setup. It also carries overall length code 1, indicating the shortest housing in this size and helping reduce the installed length of the axis. The standard version keeps the configuration straightforward for compact machine sections where cable space and mounting depth are limited. This arrangement is useful when the motor must fit beside guards, slides, or transfer mechanisms without unnecessary overhang.
