LinMot P linear motors are highly dynamic electromagnetic direct drives suitable for applications requiring fast positioning and handling. They consist of a stator and a slider, with integrated sensors and bearings for durability and precision. These motors offer an alternative to pneumatic cylinders, providing benefits like independence from compressed air and easy positionability.
LinMot® P linear motors are two-phase synchronous motors with permanent magnet-excitation, integrated bearings, position sensors, and temperature monitoring. They generate linear motion directly through electromechanical forces without additional mechanical elements. The motors are delivered with a nine-pole cable for connection to LinMot® E servo controllers.
The motors operate by using permanent magnets in the slider and windings in the stator to create force. The maximum force is determined by the motor's construction and the slider's position within the stator. The Zero Position (ZP) is the center of the movement range, and the force curve is symmetric around this point.
In the SS (shortened stroke) range, the slider's drive magnets are fully inside the stator, providing optimal force generation. The maximum force decreases linearly as the slider moves away from the SS-stroke range. The stroke-time diagram provides information on minimum travel times for horizontal motion, considering factors like motor reverse voltage and bearing friction.
The performance limit is defined by the maximum force and speed of the slider. Continuous force depends on power dissipation and maximum operating temperature, which are influenced by ambient temperature and motor cooling. Forced cooling can double the continuous force.
Linear motors are mounted by clamping over the largest possible surface in the stator's mounting zone. The sliders have boreholes with inside threads for load attachment. Proper alignment and compensation for errors in parallelism are crucial to prevent lateral forces that reduce service life.
LinMot® P linear motors are available in four product lines, distinguished by stroke ranges, maximum force, and mechanical dimensions. The P02 series offers enhanced resistance to dirt and longer service life under critical conditions.
After switching on the servo controllers, positional initialization is required. LinMot® linear motors are waterproof and suitable for use in harsh environments, including underwater, with appropriate connectors.
The motors are certified for use in clean rooms and allow for multiple independent linear motions in tight spaces.
LinMot® offers a PC-based motor sizing program to assist in motor selection based on required motions and payloads. The program calculates key parameters and power losses to ensure continuous operation without overheating.
