Design Features
Ultra-compact size for tight space constraints; 52.0 mm x 20.8 mm cross section
Continuous force to 58.0 N (13.0 lb); peak force to 231.8 N (52.1 lb)
Non-magnetic forcer provides high force with zero cogging for super-smooth velocity and position control
Ideal for pick-and-place machines where Z-axis space is limited
Follows the 2011/65/EU RoHS 2 Directive
The BLMUC linear motor is an ultra-compact “U-channel” motor measuring only 52.0 mm x 20.8 mm in cross section, designed to provide high force in an ultra-compact package. The BLMUC is ideally suited for small load applications with tight space constraints such as a pick head on a pick-and-place machine, and low-mass, high-acceleration material handling machines.
The motor consists of a noncontact forcer assembly with Hall-effect devices, thermal sensor, and “U-channel” magnet track. This design eliminates backlash, windup, wear and maintenance issues associated with ball screws, belts, and rack and pinions.
