Advantages/Disadvantages of Slotless
Linear Motors
• Lower Weight Magnetic Rail: Since this is a single magnet rail the weight is less then half of
dual magnet rail motors. This means less load and higher throughput in multi-axis systems.
• Structurally Strong Forcer: With the body of the forcer being made of aluminum and the
windings being bonded to this housing, the strength of the forcer is much greater than that of
the epoxy only housed motors. Thus reducing the possibility of motor fatigue failures.
• Light Weight Forcer: Because of its aluminum body construction, the slotless linear motor
forcer weight is approximately 2/3 that of an equivalent iron core linear motor. Thus resulting in
higher throughput in light load applications.
• Lower Attractive Forces: The slotless design has a “backiron” causing attractive forces
between the forcer and the rail. However, this attractive force is significantly less than other
linear motors. Thus significantly reducing loading on the linear guide bearings and increasing
bearing life.
• Lower Cogging: Due to the larger magnetic gap between the magnets and forcer “backiron”
the slotless design has lower cogging. This enables the slotless design to operate in
applications that require very good velocity control.
• Heat Dissipation: The slotless design, with the coil resting across the “backiron”, which is in
direct contact with the aluminum housing, has very good heat transfer characteristics and is
easy to manage.
