Asynchronous linear motors: dynamics, precision and long strokes

The new linear motors consist of a primary part with thermal sensor (KTY or PTC) and a secondary part with a copper or aluminium sheet on an iron counterplate. With a linear encoder system (position transducer) and a Baumuller b maXX series servo controller, the LAE makes point-to-point precise programmable positioning possible. If a customer uses the LAE with a frequency converter, such as the b maXX 1000, the linear motor can be operated in speed control mode.

Baumueller is offering the linear motors in three different sizes, all with a nominal maximum force of 600N and a maximum speed of 5m/s. All sizes are equipped with water cooling and are available with IP65 protection. Thanks to the non-contact design of the linear motors there is no mechanical wear and the units are exceptionally quiet.

With its new LAE10 motors Baumueller says it provides powerful, maintenance-free and dynamic linear motion for machines and plants in the areas of handling, cutting and punching machines - or diverse applications such as people movers.
