Design of the motors
The synchronous servomotors of the AM8100 series are brushless threephase 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.
The servo motors are equipped with permanent magnets in the rotor. This advanced neodymium magnetic
material makes a significant contribution to the motors' exceptional dynamic properties. A threephase
winding is housed in the stator, and this is powered by the servo terminal. The motor has no brushes, the
commutation being implemented electronically in the servo terminal.
The motors are available with or without builtin holding brake. The brake cannot be retrofitted.
The motors have a matt dark grey powder coating (similar to RAL 7016).The finish is not resistant against
solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene, thinners or similar).
