Product Description:

The AM8542-1F10-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff and part of the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Intended for closed-loop positioning and speed control, the unit converts electrical energy from a drive into regulated rotary motion for indexing tables, pick-and-place heads, and other precision machinery in automated production. When paired with a compatible servo drive, it provides rapid torque development and accurate position feedback for coordinated multi-axis motion in compact machine assemblies. This operating style supports repeatable starts, stops, and speed changes in applications where axis timing and smooth motion are important.

For electrical integration, the motor is equipped with a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing power and signal cables to be oriented to suit the cabinet layout. A mounting footprint of 87 mm at the flange centers the housing on standard machine plates, while an OCT single-turn encoder supplies absolute rotor position within one revolution for tight servo loops. The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so static load retention must be managed by the drive or external mechanics. Its winding code F identifies the stator coil design and thermal class used for this model. It is the standard version, so no special sealing or cooling options are included. This configuration supports straightforward integration in systems that already provide braking control and application-specific mounting hardware.

Mechanical power is transmitted through a shaft with groove and feather key. This output format follows DIN 6885 geometry for coupling to gears or pulleys and helps provide a positive mechanical connection under load. This AM-85 model is the increased mass moment of inertia variant, so the rotor has additional inertia that helps smooth speed changes during cyclic loading. That behavior can be useful where driven masses introduce recurring torque variation or where stable running is preferred over very low rotor inertia.
