Product Description:

The AL2003-0001-0000 linear mover is produced by Beckhoff within the AL Linear Motors series. As an iron-core secondary, it generates direct electromagnetic thrust along a flat stator track, eliminating mechanical transmissions in pick-and-place stages, gantries, or format-adjustment axes in industrial automation. With three internal coils and a speed winding layout, the component delivers controlled linear motion while fitting into a 24 mm pole-pitch magnetic rail. The design serves machine builders who need compact, high-force actuation without gearboxes or screw drives.

The motor sustains a continuous thrust of 75 N when supplied with its rated phase current of 2.28 A. This steady operating point can be maintained indefinitely without exceeding the 0.96 °C/W thermal path. For short positioning moves, it tolerates a peak load of 225 N, drawing up to 6.5 A before magnetic saturation or winding heating limits the duty time. Travel speeds can reach 7 m/s, allowing rapid repositioning on long strokes. A motor constant of 185 N²/W represents the squared force generated per watt of copper loss; the high value indicates efficient conversion of electrical power into linear thrust.

Electrical dynamics are set by a phase inductance of 60 mH and a phase resistance of 7.8 Ω; together, they establish the time constant that the drive must overcome to shape current quickly during acceleration. Heat soak is governed by a thermal time constant of 77 s, so temperature rises slowly, helping the assembly handle transient overloads before reaching its 90 W loss limit. The 500 N attraction force must be countered with mechanical guidance, and the 80 mm module width simplifies mounting next to identical movers. The unit is built without connectors or water cooling, so cabling and heat removal rely on external routing and natural convection inside the machine frame.
