High-Force Ironcore Linear Motor



ETEL offers its latest in linear motor technology, the LMS ironcore linear motor series. "Featuring a patented anti-cogging design, these linear motors offer a significant advantage for thermal drift sensitive precision machines, and are the perfect solution for many demanding motion control applications," said a company spokesperson.

"With this introduction, ETEL provides a product with substantially higher continuous force than its existing LMG linear motor series," said the spokesperson. "And since the mechanical integration is similar with both series, easy upgrades are now possible.

"The extension of ETEL's ironcore linear motor range opens new application potential in many different markets, from high-end automation to demanding semiconductor / electronic motion systems. The LMS series can be used in any machines where a high power density is required together with a high dynamic for mid-range moving masses.

"And because of the anti-cogging design, the LMS linear motors enable an exceptional peak force density in the magnetic gap, as well as unparalleled thermal efficiency, again important for thermal drift sensitive machines."

The LMS series features continuous force up to 664 N, peak force up to 2,760 N with speeds up to 15 m/s. Other characteristics include compact design, low force ripple, 600 VDC compliant and more.

ETEL S.A. is based in Switzerland with exclusive North American distribution through Heidenhain Corporation.
