AL8066 | Linear servomotor, 2700 N (F_max), convection/water cooling

The AL8066 linear servomotor is suitable for highly dynamic and powerful linear axes with a pole pair distance of 24 mm. The optimized product design and the modular coil concept enable maximum force density in the smallest mounting space and is available both convection-cooled and water-cooled. The length of the primary part depends on the cooling and is 335 mm for convection and 350 mm for water cooling. The AL8066 attains a maximum velocity of 6 or 3 m/s with a peak force F_max of 2700 N.

Symmetrical and flexible motor design

The AL8000 linear motors have a symmetrical drilling pattern that simplifies the construction and allows a universal machine design. In addition, critical hotspots are avoided by enabling the even contact of the linear motor with the machine slides.

High force density

The modular coil concept allows a flexible and very compact design of the linear motor. The space-saving linear motors from the AL8000 series feature high peak forces despite their compact design and thus offer optimum force density.

Made in Germany

Both the development and the production of the AL8000 take place in Germany. Due to its many years of experience in drive technology, Beckhoff guarantees a high product quality for durable and reliable applications.

One Cable Technology

The primary parts can be equipped with One Cable Techonolgy (OCT) as an option. Here, the scanning head of the linear encoder forms a single unit together with the primary part, both mechanically and electrically. As a result, only one cable is required to supply power and connect the feedback system and thermal sensor. In addition to cutting down on wiring work and thus speeding up electrical installation, commissioning is also simplified by an online evaluation number stating the encoder's signal quality and the electronic nameplate. All relevant motor parameters are read out directly upon connection to the AX8000 servo drive. In addition, scanning head no longer needs to be mechanically installed as it is automatically fitted when the primary part is installed.

The complete system requires additional components, such as the scale tape and the rail for easy mounting of the scale tape.
