AM8300 Servomotors Set New High-Water Mark for Performance

For applications requiring especially high speeds and dynamics, Beckhoff offers the water-cooled AM8300 servo series with standstill torques three times greater than conventional options

The AM8300 series expands the servomotor portfolio to include a modular motor series with integrated water cooling. Thanks to its efficiently integrated water cooling, the AM8300 achieves an extremely high power density, allowing it to deliver up to 40 kW of power within a very compact space, depending on its size. Compared to conventional convection-cooled motors, the power output increases many times over.

In terms of technology, the water cooled AM8300 servomotor series is based on the tried-and-tested AM8000 motor and its advantageous modular system, which allows for a wide range of options while maintaining consistent availability. A seamless portfolio for all applications is formed by five flange sizes, each available in three different lengths. The AM8300 motors can optionally be equipped with a backlash-free permanent magnet holding brake, shaft seal and keyway. Depending on the size, they are available with various feedback systems such as resolvers or batteryless single and multiturn encoders with OCT or Hiperface. With its water cooling system and high IP65 protection rating, the AM8300 is also suitable for demanding environmental conditions – particularly those with high ambient temperatures. Depending on the size, the AM8300 is equipped with a 1/8” or 1/4” thread for connecting the cooling circuit.

The AM8300 motors are designed to work seamlessly with the servo drives from the AX5000 and AX8000 series and can also be paired with suitable accessories such as the AG2300 and AG2400 gear series as well as pre-assembled motor and feedback cables.
