AM3042-0G30-0000 by Beckhoff

The AM3042-0G30-0000 is a synchronous servo motor produced by Beckhoff within the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. As a rotary actuator, it supplies commanded torque and speed to machinery in automated assembly lines, packaging modules, and material-handling axes, forming the electromechanical link between the drive amplifier and the load. This type of motor is typically paired with a servo drive so electrical control commands are translated into controlled rotary motion at the shaft. It is intended for axis applications that need repeatable response during acceleration, steady running, and stopping. The housing uses overall length code 2, which gives the unit a compact body for installations with limited axial space.

The motor mounts to gearboxes or frames with a flange that measures 87 mm, which supports accurate alignment at the machine interface. Power and feedback can be routed through a rotatable angular connector, so the cable exit can be turned to suit the available space around the motor. This layout can simplify routing where nearby panels, guards, or machine members limit the direction of cable entry. Rotor position is returned by a Hiperface single-turn 128 SinCos encoder from the F6 feedback family, and this feedback supports precise commutation and stable speed control across the operating range. The output shaft is a smooth shaft, so torque is transferred through clamping or friction-fit couplings rather than a keyed connection.

The unit is supplied without a holding brake, so static load holding must be provided by the drive or by external mechanical restraint when the axis is stopped. For vertical or suspended loads, that means the machine must rely on another holding method after power is removed. The internal stator uses the G winding, which corresponds to the electrical configuration of this motor version. It is built as a standard motor series type, and the connection data in the Synchronous Servomotors product series lists a terminal box arrangement for applications that require straight cable entry.
