Aw 107418 1610np Moticont

The series is comprised of four sizes of forcers (the moving part of a linear motor) and matching magnetic tracks creating forces of 8.7 lbs (38.7 N), 16.3 lbs (72.4 N), 23.1 lbs (102.9 N), and 31.0 lbs (138.1 N) at 10% duty cycle. The light weight ironless forcers have no iron providing high acceleration, low inertia, and cog free motion. Modular magnetic tracks, available in four standard and custom lengths, can be assembled to create unlimited stroke lengths, additionally; multiple forcers can operate in the same magnetic track with overlapping travels. Motors can be commutated in a trapezoidal or sinusoidal mode and can be ordered as complete plug-and-play systems, including, position sensors, controllers, amplifiers, and power supplies. They feature precision to less than one micron (0.00004 in.). Suggested applications include medical, manufacturing, scanning, inspection, laser cutting, and precision assembly.
