Product Description

Motor manufacturers such as Beckhoff typically designate a type key system for classifying variations of their products under a specific model line. The type keys for these motors provide an overview of the motors’ characteristics and most important features. The AM8023-0E11-0000 is one of Beckhoff’s products under the AM8 servo motor series line. Based on the product’s model number, several characteristics and features of the motor can already be inferred. First, based on the zero following the “AM8” string, the AM8023-0E11-0000 is a standard motor under the AM8X family. Standard motors feature the default mass moment of inertia. The “2” in its model name signifies a flange size of 58 mm, while the “3” implies type-3 frame size.

Aside from the first few characters in the product name of the AM8023-0E11-0000, each character in the string “0E11” also signifies different features of the motor. The first character, zero, implies a smooth output shaft that is suitable for a wide range of applications and load types. The letter E is the motor’s winding category, while the first “1” signifies that the motor uses an OCT single-turn feedback system. The OCT feedback system uses only a single cable for its motor encoder, a feature that is popular for Beckhoff’s AM8 series line. The last “1” in the “0E11” string symbolizes that the motor integrates a standard 24V holding brake.

Aside from the product name itself, other features of the motor may be seen on its nameplate. At 230 V supply, the AM8023-0E11-0000’s rated speed is 4500 rpm. At this nameplate speed, the AM8023-0E11-0000 transmits a torque and power of 1.1 Nm and 520 watts. For different supply voltages, the values of the AM8023-0E11-0000’s nominal parameters also change.
