Low installation and maintenance costs
– Simple construction, non-critical air gap and no physical
contact between shaft and forcer results in less time spent in machine construction and downtime.
Efficient cooling and thermal barrier
– Standalone thermal stability (fluid cooling options available for
increased performance).
Fully sealed
– IP67 rating as standard, IP69K as optional.
Designed for machine tools
– shaft design results in even force over entire stroke.
Zero down force
– zero net attractive forces improve efficiency with no down force and extended
machine life.
Durable
– No physical contact results in no lubrication requirements and no motor wear. Forcer
materials’ high insulation class results in long motor life.
Efficient
– The extremely strong magnetic flux, cylindrical design and small moving mass provide for
very efficient linear motion.
The LinX System

Figure 3-2 - The LinX system
The LinX linear motor system can be broken up into the following discrete components:
LinX forcer
Available in various forcer models. The appropriate model needs to be chosen for
the application.
LinX Shaft
Available in a wide range of shaft lengths.
Shaft supports
Two supports
– one at each end – are required to affix the shaft to the rest of the
system.
Linear rail or aligning rods
Components to ensure the forcer moves parallel to the shaft and to take any
lateral load.
Servo drive
AC servo drive controls motor in conjunction with the encoder according to a
control input.
Encoder
Provides position feedback to the servo drive.
Cable carrier
Guides and protects cables that are connected to the forcer and must therefore
move with the forcer.
