AM3031-0C30-0000 by Beckhoff

The AM3031-0C30-0000 is a servo motor built by Beckhoff and included in the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. It is intended for position-controlled axes in industrial automation where compact dimensions and direct-drive performance are required, including tightly spaced handling units and smaller machine modules. This model uses overall length code 1, placing it in the shorter housing range of the series. Its layout suits applications that need responsive motion without the added space of a larger motor body.

Power and feedback conductors exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, so cable routing can be aligned with cabinet layouts without reterminating the leads. Rotor position is reported by a Hiperface single-turn encoder with 128 SinCos, F6, which allows absolute position detection after each power cycle and fine interpolation in the drive. That feedback arrangement supports accurate startup behavior and stable position processing during normal servo operation. The motor attaches to machine frames or gearboxes with a 72 mm square flange that follows common IEC mounting patterns. This unit is supplied without a holding brake, so any static load retention must come from drive torque or an external locking device. The motor uses winding code C, which provides the electrical values needed for current limiting and commutation.

Torque is transferred through a smooth shaft, which simplifies coupling to clamping hubs or shrink disks and avoids keyway stress at the shaft surface. A plain shaft surface also supports compact couplings where precise concentric clamping is preferred over keyed torque transfer. The motor matches the standard motor series type, so it follows the common mechanical arrangement used for this product line. It is supplied in the standard version, which means it does not include special coatings, extended temperature options, or modified bearing sets. This keeps the configuration focused on the baseline design used for general industrial motion tasks.
