AM8061-0M00-0000 by Beckhoff

The AM8061-0M00-0000 from Beckhoff is a high-performance drive in the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series, designed for demanding industrial automation. This module accepts a rated supply voltage of 3×100 to 480 V AC ±10% at 50/60 Hz and provides a continuous output current of 10 A with a peak output current of 20 A. It incorporates integrated fan cooling for consistent thermal management during extended operation. The drive communicates via EtherCAT, ensuring seamless integration into modern motion-control networks. With a Protection Class IP20, this standard version is optimized for control cabinet mounting and secure operation in industrial environments.

Performance characteristics are tailored for dynamic applications, delivering up to 37.07 Nm peak torque and reaching speeds of 6000 rpm. The motor yields 0.97 Nm/A torque constant, requiring 13.10 A RMS current to sustain the 12.80 Nm standstill torque. Feedback is handled by a robust two-pole resolver, enhancing reliability in harsh conditions. A smooth shaft design and 142 mm flange size provide low-backlash coupling options for precision tasks. The inverter front end handles up to 45.20 A peak current momentarily, while the drive’s input current (rated) of 13.5 A aligns with typical servo-amplifier ratings. Electrical and mechanical specifications are balanced for fast acceleration and stable deceleration.

Reliability features include a Protection Class IP20 industrial housing, a rotatable angular Connection or terminal box arrangement, and a standard winding code (M) within the AM8xxx product family. The drive’s compact footprint (105 mm x 355 mm x 228 mm) and moderate weight of 8.1 kg facilitate cabinet installation and serviceability. It operates across an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50 °C without derating. Without a built-in holding brake, external mechanisms may be added for safe standstill locking when needed. The drive’s flexible control cabinet mounting and standardized interface options support seamless integration into existing Beckhoff EtherCAT infrastructures, making it ideal for high-speed positioning, pick-and-place robotics, and precision machining applications.
