Product Description:
The AM8561-0J21-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff and placed within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a rotary drive component, it converts electrical energy into controlled mechanical motion for axis positioning, speed regulation, and cyclic tasks in assembly lines, packaging equipment, and CNC stations. This operating role suits machinery that requires repeatable starts, stops, and speed changes during automated cycles. The model is supplied in the Standard version and uses the series mechanical envelope intended to support medium- to high-inertia loads. When paired with a Beckhoff drive controller, it completes a closed-loop automation chain from PLC command to shaft rotation.
The holding brake and external control circuits share a supply of 24 VDC. Power, feedback, and brake lines exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, so cable routing can be aligned to the available installation space. This arrangement helps the motor fit installations where cable exit direction must be adjusted around frames, guards, or nearby components. Position feedback is supplied by an OCT multi-turn encoder, which sends absolute position data to the drive for immediate commutation after power-up. The mounting flange measures 142 mm, providing a standardized interface for direct coupling to gearboxes or machine frames. An integrated holding brake is included to keep the axis stationary when drive torque is removed.
The motor uses the series variant with increased mass moment of inertia, making it suitable for mechanisms that require smooth acceleration of sizable loads. This characteristic can help stabilize motion in applications where the connected load changes direction frequently or resists rapid speed shifts. Its output uses a smooth shaft configuration, which avoids a keyway and helps limit backlash at the coupling. The built-in brake provides static holding torque in the 20 Nm to 36 Nm range. Electrical behavior is linked to winding code J, which matches the motor’s resistance, inductance, and rated speed set to compatible Beckhoff drive amplifiers. The overall length code 1 keeps the housing compact.
