IC Iron Core Linear Motors

IC series iron core linear motors have coils wound around silicon steel laminations to maximise the generated force with a single sided magnet way. The special electromagnetic design of these motors delivers a high motor constant (Km) for low thermal losses, the highest rated force per size, and low cogging forces. The high thrust forces possible with these motors make them ideal for accelerating and moving high masses, and maintaining stiffness during machining and processing.

Features

  • Ideal for accelerating and moving low to very high masses — greatest rated thrust force per size
  • Suitable for global markets — 230/400/480 VAC bus voltage
  • Very smooth velocity with high positional accuracy — zero backlash or compliance, maintaining the stiffness required for machining and other process forces
  • Zero maintenance — eliminates lubrication and wear of ball screws, gearboxes, rack and pinions, or belts and pulleys
  • Simple, compact mechanical assembly — high force density in a minimal form factor with a greatly reduced total parts count
