Beckhoff is expanding the AM3000 Synchronous Servomotor series with a new FDA-compliant model designed with a resistant, white surface coating. Hygiene regulations in the food industry place high demands on drive and control components with regard to surfaces and materials, which must be able to withstand regular exposure and resistance to aggressive cleaners. The white coating is compliant with Food and Drug Administration regulations and guarantees that the products manufactured with it are not in any way tainted by chemicals. The FDA-compliant motors differ from the standard types only by their surface and by the stainless steel shaft.
