Beckhoff — Servo Systems
The Beckhoff AM8000 servo motor series revolutionizes servo motor connectivity with OCT (One Cable Technology) that combines power, feedback, and safety signals in a single hybrid cable. This eliminates the need for separate encoder and brake cables, reducing installation costs by up to 40% and simplifying cable management in moving-axis applications. The motors feature an integrated multi-turn absolute encoder with 24-bit resolution, providing precise position feedback without requiring battery-backed memory for position retention over power cycles. Each motor includes Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality integrated directly into the motor connector, enabling decentralized safety architectures without additional safety modules. The AM8000 series is optimized for use with Beckhoff AX5000 and AX8000 multi-axis servo drives and supports speeds up to 9,000 RPM with low cogging torque for smooth operation across the entire speed range.
