AM8562-0J10-0000 by Beckhoff

The AM8562-0J10-0000 is a synchronous servo motor manufactured by Beckhoff for the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series. Classified in the AM85xx sub-series, the unit follows the dimensional and electrical conventions shared across the AM8xxx product family, making it a drop-in option for multi-axis machinery. In industrial automation it provides closed-loop torque and speed control, translating drive signals into accurate rotary motion for pick-and-place gantries, feed rollers, and indexing tables.

The motor mounts to gearboxes or direct-drive stages through a 142 mm flange, and its power and feedback leads exit through a rotatable angular connector or terminal box, allowing cable routing in confined cabinets. Position information is delivered by a OCT single-turn encoder, which combines optical sensing with digital communication to streamline wiring. This AM85xx variant carries an increased mass moment of inertia rotor, improving stability when driving loads with higher reflected inertia. Electrical behaviour is characterised by winding code J, which fixes the phase resistance, inductance, and nominal current expected by Beckhoff AX drive controllers. The version is identified as standard, so environmental sealing, insulation class, and paint finish match the baseline specification for warehouse and workshop environments.

A smooth shaft simplifies coupling with clamp or shrink-fit hubs and avoids keyway stress concentrations. The overall length is defined by code 2, giving designers a predictable housing depth when planning multi-motor plates. As a member of the AM8xxx family it shares tooling, gaskets, and spare-part inventory with adjacent frame sizes, reducing line downtime. The motor is supplied without a holding brake, so static load retention must be handled by an external brake or by drive current. These mechanical, electrical, and feedback characteristics together align the unit with medium-to-high precision motion tasks that demand repeatable positioning without unnecessary complexity.
