AM8031-2C10-0000

The Beckhoff AM8031-2C10-0000 is a high-performance panel-mounted servo drive in the AM Synchronous Servo Motors series, engineered by Beckhoff for precision motion control in industrial automation. It delivers a standstill torque of 1.40 Nm and sustains a rated current of 10 A with a peak current of 30 A to address dynamic load requirements. This module operates on a 480 V AC three-phase power supply and achieves a rated speed of 9000 RPM, ensuring rapid response in high-speed applications. The device integrates seamless EtherCAT communication for real-time synchronization and control, while its IP20 protection class enables reliable operation within enclosed control cabinets. Mounted directly on panels, the AM8031-2C10-0000 combines compactness and power for demanding robotic, packaging, and machine tool processes.

Detailed technical specifications underscore the AM8031-2C10-0000’s engineering focus: its physical footprint of 60 mm x 220 mm x 195 mm aligns with standard panel cutouts, and its rotor moment of inertia of 0.467 kg·cm² is optimized for agile acceleration and deceleration phases. The embedded feedback subsystem supports both Incremental and Absolute Encoder configurations, delivering precise position and velocity data. With a torque constant of 0.44 Nm/A, the drive converts current into mechanical output efficiently, minimizing thermal buildup under continuous operation. The drive’s three-phase power interface and internal power electronics maintain stable voltage regulation across its 480 V AC input range. Additionally, the rated continuous current of 10 A versus peak capacity of 30 A ensures that the device can accommodate transient loads without triggering safety cutoffs.

Operational features stress robustness and performance consistency: the module runs reliably across an ambient temperature window of 0°C to +50°C, enabling deployment in standard industrial environments. The IP20 enclosure prevents ingress of large particulates, supporting clean-room and automated assembly line installations, while the panel-mount design simplifies wiring and service access. Built-in EtherCAT interface offers cycle times down to sub-millisecond levels, facilitating synchronized multi-axis control and closed-loop feedback. High peak current tolerance combined with the low rotor inertia delivers rapid torque build-up for short bursts, making the drive suitable for pick-and-place robots and high-speed indexing tables.

System integration with Beckhoff’s TwinCAT automation platform is straightforward, leveraging the native EtherCAT interface for plug-and-play connectivity. Standardized power and feedback connections reduce engineering overhead and streamline machine build processes. The AM8031-2C10-0000 is ideal for use in industrial automation segments such as robotic packaging, CNC machining, assembly lines, and material handling systems, where precise positioning, dynamic response, and integration simplicity are paramount.
