Technical description Design of the motors The synchronous servomotors of the AM8100 series are brushless three-phase motors for demanding servo- applications. In conjunction with our digital servo drives they are particularly suitable for positioning tasks in industrial robots, machine tools, transfer lines etc. with demanding requirements in terms of dynamics and stability.
If the motors drive via pinions or toothed belts, then high radial forces will occur.The permissible values at the shaft end, depending on the speed, may be read from the technical data. Please use the force calculation program available from our website (www.beckhoff.com) for exact calculation of the radial Forces. Synchronous servomotor...
Technical description Axial force Axial forces arise when assembling pinions or pulleys on the shaft and using angular gearheads, for example. Please use the force calculation program available from our website (www.beckhoff.com) for exact calculation of the axial Forces. Coupling Double-coned collets, possibly in association with metal bellows couplings, have proven themselves as excellent, zero backlash coupling elements.
Technical description 6.3.10 Feedback-System Feedback-System Resolution System accuracy Comment OCT, Singleturn 18 Bit ± 120 Angle sec. approx. 0.03° Standard OCT, Multiturn Resolver 14 Bit ± 600 Angle sec. approx.0.17° Option: AM812x, AM813x and AM814x Feedback exchange The feedback system installed can only be replaced with an identical system. Retrofitting a different system is not possible.
Technical description This model features a different feedback system in place of the resolver. Installation options and reduction of rated values • With the exception of the sealing ring, the options cannot be retrofitted. • The option sealing ring can lead to a reduction of the rated data. Selection criteria The three-phase servomotors are designed for operation with servo terminals.
Mechanical installation Mechanical installation Important notes NOTE Motor damage • Take care, especially during transport and handling that components are not bent and that insulation clearances are not altered. • The site must be free of conductive and aggressive material. For V3-mounting (shaft end upwards), make sure that no liquids can enter the bearings.

EMC shielding and earthing.Earth the mounting plate and motor housing. • Only use cables approved by Beckhoff for operating the AM8100 with the “one-cable technology” (OCT). • Route the power and control cables as separately as possible from one another (separation > 20 cm).This will improve the immunity of the system to electromagnetic interference.If a motor power cable...
Beckhoff offers preassembled motor and feedback cables for safe, faster and flawless installation of the motors. Beckhoff cables have been tested with regard to the materials, shielding and connectors used. They ensure proper functioning and compliance with statutory regulations such as EMC, UL etc. The use of other cables may lead to unexpected interference and invalidate the warranty.

Electrical installation Power box of the servomotor with iTec connector Align the iTec connector (item 1) with the power box of the servomotor (item 2). The iTec connector (item 1) should fully enclose the silver-colored housing of the power box (item 2). Note!: Avoid contamination of or damage to the poles and the interior of the box and the connector!

Electrical installation iTec extension cable Connecting the plug connection Align the two plug connector (1) and (2) such that the white marking point (3) and the area (4) line up. Push the two plug connectors together in the direction of the arrow. Ensure that the black locking ring (5) can turn freely.

Electrical installation 8.2.3 Shielding concept Together with the shield busbar, the prefabricated cables from Beckhoff offer optimum protection against electromagnetic interference. Connection of the motor cable to the shield busbar Fasten the shield busbar supports (1) to the DIN rail (2). The DIN rail (2) must be in contact with the metallic rear wall of the control cabinet over a wide area.

Comissioning Troubleshooting The following table is to be seen as a “First Aid” box. There can be a large number of different reasons for a fault, depending on the particular conditions in your system. The fault causes described below are mostly those which directly influence the motor.
Technical data Technical data All data, excluding the voltage constant, valid for 40 °C ambient temperature and 100 K overtemperature of the winding. The data can have a tolerance of +/- 10%. If a gear unit is attached the power may be reduced by up to 20%. This loss in performance has thermal reasons, since a gear unit that is subject to warming is installed at the motor flange intended for heat Dissipation.
