Beckhoff is expanding the AM3000 Synchronous Servomotor series with a new FDA-compliant model with a resistant, white surface coating. The result is a high-performance servo solution for all applications in the food industry. The coating is suitable for use around food products and is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents. Apart from the surface coating and the stainless steel shaft, the motors are the same as the standard types in the AM3000 series.
Hygiene regulations in the food industry place high demands on drive and control components. Surfaces must be able to withstand regular exposure to aggressive cleaners. The white coating guarantees that the food products are not tainted by chemicals from the motor.
The advantage for the user is that additional motor types do not have to be designed into the machine in the case of mixed use of coated and standard motors. Depending on size, the coating adds only about 30% to the price of the standard motors. The IP67 design permits use in harsh industrial environments. Flange sizes from 2 to 7 from the Beckhoff AM3000 series are extra options.
