Kollmorgen Direct Drive Linear Motor Selection Guide

Kollmorgen. Every solution comes from a real understanding of OEM challenges facing machine designers and users. Escalating demands of the marketplace mean increased pressure on machine designers and users at every turn. Time constraints, demand for better performance, and consideration of next-generation machine technologies are just a few of the demands on today’s machine designers and end users. While expectations are enormous, budgets are not. Kollmorgen’s innovative automation solutions and broad range of quality motion products help engineers not only overcome these challenges but also...

KOLLMORGEN DIRECT DRIVE LINEAR MOTOR SELECTION GUIDE KOLLMORGEN Because Motion Matters™ Removing the Barriers of Design, Sourcing, and Time At Kollmorgen, we know that OEM engineers can achieve a lot more when obstacles aren't in the way. So, we clear obstacles in three important ways: Integrating Standard and Custom Products The optimal solution is often not clear-cut. Our application expertise allows us to modify standard products or develop totally custom solutions across our whole product portfolio so that designs can take flight. Providing Motion Solutions, Not Just Components As companies...

Direct Drive Linear Motor Our direct drive linear motor series provides new dimensions in performance with high throughput, accuracy, and zero maintenance. A linear motor is a frameless, permanent magnet, three phase, brushless servo motor. The product line consists of two fundamental constructions, Ironless (slotless) and Ironcore. Ironless motors have no attractive force between the framless components and zero cogging for ultra smooth motion. Ironcore motors provide the highest force per frame size and feature an anti-cogging design which yields extremely smooth operation.

The Benefits of Direct Drive Linear Motor • Zero Maintenance with Greater Accuracy and Higher Bandwidth • Smoother velocity and reduced audible noise • Power transmission without backlash • Transmission elements such as couplings, toothed belts, ball/lead screws, rack & pinions, and other fitted components can be eliminated • No gears or screws, no lubrication required • Improved machine reliability • Wide Range of Sizes and Force to cover any Linear Application • Increased performance for the entire system • Flat, compact drive solution • Easy mix and match motors and drives • Real-life...

Our Direct Dirve Linear (DDL) motor series are frameless permanent magnet, three phase brushless servo motors. Fundamentally, a linear motor is a rotary motor that is rolled out flat. The two primary components of permanent magnet brushless rotary motors are the stator (primary coils) and the rotor (secondary or rotating magnets). In brushless linear motors the rotor is rolled out flat to become the magnet track (also called the magnet way). The primary coils of the rotary motor are rolled out flat to become the coil assembly (also called the slider). In most brushless linear motor applications...

Direct Drive Linear Motor Overview D I R E C T Since the frameless parts of the linear motor are non-contact, and no limitations of a mechanical transmission are present, both very high speeds and very low speeds are easily obtainable. Speeds are truly not limited by the motor. Instead, by eliminating the mechanical transmission, speed becomes limited by other elements in the system such as the linear bearings, and the achievable bandwidth from any feedback devices. Application speeds of greater than 5 meters per second or less than 1 micron per second are typically achievable. In comparison,...
