Industrial-duty Brushless Linear Motors

Linear Sigma Series PMBL servomotors provide a wide range of force capabilities for general automation applications.

The product line includes coreless balanced linear and two types of iron core linear motors designed to negate unwanted magnetic effects between the iron core motor coil and the permanent magnet tracks. Ranging from 140N-6,000N linear thrusts over 24 available coil configurations, the series combines with Sigma II digital servo amplifiers to provide cost-effective plug-and-play linear motor solutions for today's industrial automation machine designs. The digital servo amplifiers use an intelligent serial encoder feedback system to automatically recognize which model of linear or rotary servomotor is connected and self-configure themselves for quick, simple setup and increased system reliability. Level II products provide a range of fully integrated linear positioning slides with linear encoders and amplifiers as an Ethernet-ready motion control system for automation applications.
