Product Description:

Beckhoff manufactures the AM8542-0E21-0000 Synchronous servo motor. It is designed for demanding industrial automation applications. The servo motor is built to comply with EN 60034-1 standards and offers a robust solution for motion tasks that require accuracy and durability.

The AM8542-0E21-0000 synchronous servo motor features a rated voltage of 400 Vrms and a rated power output of 0.72 kW that enables consistent torque delivery at 2.37 Nm. The rated speed is 3000 RPM, and the rated current is 1.65 A that ensures stable operation under load. The motor uses a straight shaft with an internal thread and keyway that allows secure gear mounting and transmits torque efficiently. The integrated planetary gear system and large precision-machined metal gear attached to the shaft enhance mechanical performance and longevity. The square flange with four slotted mounting holes simplifies alignment during installation. The rear top-mounted circular multi-pin connector provides reliable connections for power and feedback signals. The motor casing is black-coated metal with an aluminum front housing that provides structural integrity and effective heat dissipation.

Natural convection through an IC400-class ribbed aluminum surface is the basis of the servo motor's cooling system. It is unnecessary to use forced ventilation because this design keeps the motor within safe thermal limits. In order to ensure safe operation and resistance to dust and limited moisture penetration, the servo motor is designed with insulation class F and protection class IP54. A variety of drive combinations can be accommodated by the shaft's design, which allows for direct gear mounting due to its internal thread and keyway. A heavy-duty planetary gear system is included in the AM8542-0E21-0000 servo motor, allowing for precise and dependable torque transmission during continuous operation.
