Product Description:

The AM8561-0J20-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It converts electrical commands from a drive controller into precise rotary motion for automated machinery. The motor supports positioning, indexing, and speed-controlled tasks on material-handling axes and other equipment used in manufacturing cells. Its synchronous operation allows the connected drive to regulate shaft position and velocity as process demands change.

A flange diameter of 142 mm provides the mounting interface and centers the stator housing for accurate alignment with gearboxes or machine frames. The rotor has a smooth shaft, so torque is transmitted through friction-fit couplings rather than keys or splines. This shaft design also simplifies the use of suitable sealing arrangements in washdown environments. Position data is returned through OCT multi-turn feedback, which retains absolute angle information over multiple revolutions and allows the controller to recover the axis position after a power loss. The magnetic design uses a J winding code, with a resistance and inductance combination suited to compatible drives that supply the required motor current. The rotor is in the increased mass moment of inertia class, providing additional kinetic energy for processes that benefit from steadier speeds under changing loads.

Electrical power reaches the motor through a rotatable angular connector or a terminal box, allowing the cable exit to be oriented for restricted installation spaces. The available connection arrangement can reduce sharp cable bends and help keep wiring clear of nearby machine components. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so mechanical clamping or drive-generated torque must retain a stationary load when necessary. The absence of a brake removes brake-release delays and reduces the motor assembly’s weight. An overall length code of 1 indicates the shortest active stack offered for this frame size, minimizing the axial footprint when continuous torque demand is modest. The mechanical build follows the Standard version, which uses the baseline housing and interface options provided for this motor type.
