Product Description:

The AM8112-0FH0-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for closed-loop position and speed control in pick-and-place modules, packaging stations, and other automated motion systems that need repeatable rotary output. Integrated encoder electronics support stable feedback to the drive, which helps the axis respond accurately during starts, stops, and positioning moves. This operating style is useful in packaging equipment and handling systems where repeatability matters as much as raw speed. The compact motor format also suits installations where precise motion is needed without a large mounting footprint.

The feedback subsystem offers a positional resolution of 24-bit per revolution, giving fine incremental steps and stable low-speed regulation. Position capture is handled by an OCT multi-turn encoder that preserves absolute angular data over 4096 mechanical turns, so the controller can retain shaft position through power cycles. This lets the axis return to known position data after shutdown instead of depending on a reference move at every restart. A 40 mm flange uses IEC mounting dimensions, which helps the motor fit compact machine interfaces. The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so stationary load retention must be handled by external mechanics or drive-applied torque.

Field wiring is adaptable because the motor includes a rotatable angular connector or a terminal box, allowing the cable outlet to be oriented to suit available routing space. This can reduce cable strain where nearby panels, guards, or machine frames limit the exit angle. Integrated functional safety is supported by encoder compliance with SIL 2 when the motor is paired with compatible control hardware. A smooth shaft works well with clamp or friction couplings and avoids keyed shaft geometry. Thermal and electrical behavior correspond to winding code F, so compatible drives can use the matching motor data for control setup. The housing uses overall length code 2, giving the motor a short body for installations with limited axial space.
