Product Description:

The AM8112-0F20-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff and supplied within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for closed-loop positioning and speed-controlled tasks in industrial automation where compact direct-drive axes are required. The motor supports motion systems that rely on fast commutation and stable feedback during repetitive machine cycles. Its compact format makes it suitable for tightly spaced assemblies where installation room is limited but accurate rotary motion is still required.

The motor mounts to machinery through a flange that measures 40 mm across, which helps it fit into confined machine spaces. Rotor position is returned to the controller by an OCT multi-turn encoder, so absolute position data remain available over multiple revolutions without battery backup. Torque is transmitted through a smooth shaft, which avoids keyway-related stress concentrations and works well with clamp-style couplings. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so any load that must remain fixed after power loss requires an external braking method. Electrical behavior follows winding code F, which matches the motor to compatible drive amplifiers with the proper current and voltage range.

The housing uses overall length code 2, giving the motor a short installation depth while preserving enough thermal mass for rated operation. Power and feedback connections exit through a rotatable angular connector, which helps route cables cleanly when surrounding machine parts limit straight cable entry. This unit is the Standard version, so it does not include a special shaft seal, protective coating, or high-moment rotor option. It belongs to the Synchronous Servomotors family and uses the feedback protocol common to AM-series models. These characteristics make the motor easy to integrate into compact servo axes that require accurate response and orderly cable routing.
