Compact drive technology

For the low voltage range up to 48 V DC, Beckhoff offers a modular system for compact servo and stepper motor drive solutions. In combination with AM8100 series motors, the EL72xx servo terminals provide a very small, highly dynamic servo axis, which is suitable for high-precision positioning applications in conjunction with OCT and multi-turn absolute encoders. Optionally, the EL72xx devices enable the implementation of STO (Safe Torque Off) safety-related functions.
In conjunction with the IP20 stepper motor terminals or IP67 EtherCAT or EtherCAT P Box modules, the AS2000 and AS1000 stepper motors can be operated as an adjustable axis, either with or without feedback. The AS2000 is characterized by a high protection rating and integrated connection technology.

Decentralized and versatile
In the compact drive product area, the AMI8100 combines a servomotor with a servo drive and an EtherCAT interface in a space-saving design for all motion requirements in the power range up to 400 watts. As an EtherCAT slave, the AMI8100 can be placed directly on the machine without a control cabinet and without upstream I/O level, which makes it possible to implement compact and modular machines without control cabinets. The monitoring is indicated by the integrated status LEDs. The distributed servo drives are optionally available with TwinSAFE STO/SS1 safety functions.
The AA1000 linear actuators from the compact drive technology product area are equipped with an integrated 48 V servo drive and can be installed decentralized in the machine. The integrated absolute encoder eliminates the need for additional limit switches or external measuring systems for operation, making installation even easier. Communication takes place via EtherCAT; unnecessarily long cables can be dispensed with when wiring by daisy-chain. In addition, a variant with a stainless steel housing is available in the highest protection class for particularly adverse environmental conditions.
