The new AM1000 servomotor joins the economy drive system from Beckhoff. The compact, servomotor and the AX1000 servo drive are combined to deliver powerful drive technology economically, providing users with a coordinated, cost-optimised drive system. Features such as One Cable Technology (OCT), simple plug-and-play commissioning, and seamless TwinCAT integration make the system especially user-friendly.
A cost-effective combination: the AM1000 servomotor and AX1000 servo drive from Beckhoff’s economy drive system.
The AM1000 has a compact, robust design and a power range of up to 1 000 W at 230 V ac and up to 1 700 W at 400 V ac. The servomotor is available in different stack lengths in the common flange sizes of 40, 60, and 80 mm. One Cable Technology transmits the power supply and feedback signal via a standard motor cable, significantly reducing the cabling work required. Equipped with a battery-free single-turn or multi-turn encoder, the AM1000 is recommended for cost-sensitive applications that place high demands on performance and where space is at a premium. An integrated holding brake and suitable planetary gear units can be selected as options.
Combining the servomotor with the AX1000 economy servo drive provides a versatile, cost-optimised drive system, made in Germany. The user can select the right motor and servo drive combination based on the rated power. The components are harmonised with each other and enable simple, convenient commissioning via TwinCAT 3 Drive Manager 2. With its innovative winding and insulation system, the servomotor is approved for almost all networks available worldwide. The servo drive system, including the AM1000 and AX1000, can therefore be implemented as a single-phase or three-phase system. Seamless TwinCAT integration increases user-friendliness and facilitates design, tuning, and diagnostics. The servo drive is available in various performance levels as a single-axis system or as a particularly cost-effective dual-axis version. In combination with the AM1000 servomotor, the system offers drive-integrated safety functions such as STO and SS1. The short motor, compact servo drive dimensions, and OCT together minimise the space required in the machine.
With the AF1000 variable frequency drive – which also forms part of the economy drive system – Beckhoff presents another cost-optimised solution for basic drive applications such as conveyor systems, pumps, or fans. The AF1000 is available as both a single-axis and dual-axis device for single-phase (1 x 230 V ac) and three-phase (3 x 400 V ac) supply and covers power ranges from 0.37 kW to 5.5 kW.
