6.2.3 Sliders
The slider is a magnetic rod, which is moved in the stator.
6.2.3.1 Slider Nomenclature
Variations of
Description
Base type
PL0
Slider for slotless motors
Coating
Y
Y = Coating of the slider
1 = standard coating
2 = heavy duty coating
Diameter
-YY
-YY = Diameter of the slider [mm]:
-12 = 12 mm diameter (for PS01-23)
-20 = 20 mm diameter (for PS01-37)
-28 = 28 mm diameter (for PS01-48)
Mechanical length
xYYY
“x” is a separator
YYY = Total slider length [mm], for example x680 has the length of 680 mm
Magnetic length
/YYY
/YYY = length of magnetic pile [mm] / Multiple of pole length
Performance type
-YY
Type of magnets and iron:
empty = standard for PL01-28x
-HP = HP type (high performance)-
Functional Safety
-2S -2S = slider for 2S systems
Table 19: PL0x Slider nomenclature
Remark: The PL02 sliders, with heavy duty coating, will be manufactured on request. The sliders are technically the
same as the PL01 types, except for the coating.
The operation range must be covered by the slider and the configuration must be done correctly.
CAUTION
Slider Selection
The slider must be selected with the correct size for the application to avoid a broken motor slider. Do not
use visible broken sliders.
2S safety sliders have article numbers between 0150-20000 and 0150-29999.
CAUTION
Safe Stroke
At the end of the magnetic pile, the magnetic field is distorted, due to physical facts. In this range the
position and speed evaluation are less adequate. Therefore, it is advisable to use just a reduced stroke,
compared with the data sheet.
Recommended stroke reduction on both sides for the different sliders:
PL0x-12x... : 5 mm
PL0x-20x... : 10 mm
PL0x-28x... : 15 mm
