Product Description:

The AS1060-0000 is a stepper motor manufactured by Beckhoff within the AS Stepper Motors series. This motor converts sequential drive pulses into controlled angular movement, making it suitable for positioning tasks, dosing units, and pick-and-place axes in industrial automation where open-loop speed and torque control are adequate. Its design offers fixed step operation so machine builders can achieve repeatable motion without closed-loop feedback, while the compact housing simplifies integration into distributed control cabinets.

Each revolution is divided into 200 full steps, so the motor advances by a basic increment of 1.8° per control pulse. During hold conditions, the stator field can maintain a shaft output of 5.0 Nm, giving enough static torque to resist moderate mechanical loads without additional clamping devices. Current demand at rated duty is 5.0 A, which affects drive stage sizing and conductor cross-section. The copper phase coils have a winding inductance of 2.80 mH, and this time constant affects current rise when high pulse frequencies are commanded. The winding resistance is 0.36 Ω, which contributes to resistive losses and affects the voltage required to reach the target current under steady-state conditions.

Axial shaft play is limited to 0.075 mm, while radial shaft play is limited to 0.025 mm, helping keep indexing behavior predictable when combined with the ±0.09° static positional tolerance. The rotor’s mass moment of inertia is 3.0 kg·cm², which supports responsive acceleration while adding useful damping during start-stop motion. The motor can withstand up to 191 N of radial force and 60 N of axial thrust during operation. Thermal conversion of electrical energy peaks at 68.8 W, and the 2.85 kg overall weight helps with heat dissipation while keeping the assembly manageable for compact machinery.
