AM8121-2F10-0000 by Beckhoff

The Beckhoff AM8121-2F10-0000 synchronous servo motor is a high-performance member of the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series, engineered for demanding industrial automation tasks. It delivers 1.04 kW of rated power with a rated torque of 3.36 Nm and can achieve a peak torque of 10.2 Nm for rapid acceleration profiles. With a rated speed of 3000 rpm, this motor ensures precise, repeatable motion control across a broad range of applications. The compact design features a frame size of 82 mm and an integrated IP64 protection class, providing robust performance in environments where dust and splashing water are present. Its lightweight aluminum housing offers both structural integrity and efficient heat dissipation without the need for forced cooling.

Detailed technical specifications reflect meticulous engineering for reliability and precision. The AM8121-2F10-0000 operates at a rated voltage of 400 V and draws a rated current of 3.3 A under continuous load, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial power systems. The thermal time constant of 25 min supports stable operation during prolonged duty cycles. Mounting is simplified by the 58 mm flange size and a standardized smooth shaft design protected by a radial shaft-sealing ring rated at IP65. Feedback is provided via an OCT single-turn resolver combined with an absolute encoder, delivering high-resolution position data. Electrical connections are handled through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, facilitating rapid field installation.

Operational features emphasize efficient heat management and dynamic response. Natural convection cooling eliminates the need for external fans or liquid circuits, while the 0.134 kg·cm² rotor inertia fosters rapid acceleration and deceleration for high-precision positioning. At standstill, the motor can maintain a holding torque of 0.50 Nm with a holding current of 4.0 A, ensuring stable load support without a brake. Continuous mechanical output of 160 W at its rated speed underscores its suitability for constant-duty applications. The motor’s operating temperature range of 5 °C to 40 °C and compliance with European CE and North American cURus safety standards guarantee reliable performance in diverse industrial settings.

System integration is streamlined through the use of Beckhoff’s standardized mounting and connector interfaces, enabling seamless incorporation into multi-axis motion controllers and PLC systems. The built-in resolver and absolute encoder remove the need for external homing procedures, reducing commissioning time. This robust, IP64-rated servo motor is ideal for applications in assembly automation, conveyor drives, pick-and-place machines, and other precision motion systems where accuracy, dependable operation, and minimal maintenance are paramount.
