1.1 Fields of application ironless linear motors
Continuously increasing demands on economic benefit of electric machines
require new problem-solving approaches to fulfill the requirements on dynam‐
ic, accuracy and synchronization. Conventional NC-drives, consisting of a ro‐
tary electrical motor and mechanical transmission elements like gearboxes,
belt transmissions or gear rack pinions, cannot fulfill these demands or, if on‐
ly with high effort.
Ironless linear direct drive technique is an extension of the IndraDyn L prod‐
uct family with innovative product characteristics. Due to the wide application
range of ironless linear motors, medium to midget mass can be moved and
positioned high-dynamically and high-precisely.
Based on the above-mentioned advantages, typical applications result for ex‐
ample in:
●
Electronic, placement technology and manufacturing technology
● Solid state technology (e.g. wafer-inspection and bonding)
● Medicine technology (e.g. transport of pipettes)
● Solar technology (e.g. for laser structuring)
● Precision and ultra-precision machining
Even in other areas, for example, in machine tool industry, printing industry
and especially in measuring technology, the advantages of this technology
becomes important.
The ironless drive technology offers a lot of significant advantages in oppo‐
site to a ferrous motor, without accepting disturbing ancillary effects like cog‐
ging. For this reason, it is the optimum option for many applications.
Significant advantages of ironless linear motors are:
●
Highest dynamic
● Excellent control quality and synchronization
● No magnetic attractive force, no detent torque
● High-precision positioning behavior
● Direct power transfer – no mechanical transmission elements like ball
srew, toothed belt, gear rack, etc.
● High efficiency - low overhead
● Maintenance-free drive (no wearing parts at the motor)
● Simplified machine structure
