Product Description:

The AL2006-0001-0000 is a coil segment from the AL Linear Motors series manufactured by Beckhoff. As part of the company’s linear servo motor product range, the unit mounts on a passive magnet track and generates direct linear thrust when driven by a matched servo amplifier. It is used in automation systems that require rapid, precise positioning without the backlash or wear associated with rotary motors and mechanical transmissions.

During continuous operation, the coil delivers a thrust of 200 N while drawing a continuous current of 4.30 A; this pairing establishes the steady-state working point for most motion profiles. Maximum travel speed reaches 7 m/s, allowing high throughput on long strokes when the servo drive supplies adequate bus voltage. For short bursts, the phase windings accept a peak current of 13.1 A, which produces up to 450 N of force to overcome static friction or accelerate heavy loads. At these ratings, the copper losses are 150 W, and the design relies on natural convection because it is supplied without water cooling. Electrical connection is made through flying leads, so no plug connectors are integrated.

The mover’s attraction force toward the magnet rail is 950 N, a value that must be counterbalanced by the machine structure. The coil section weighs 1.5 kg and spans 80 mm in width; six equally spaced coils are arranged around a 24 mm pole pitch in a speed winding configuration. Thermal behavior is characterized by a thermal resistance of 0.48 °C/W and a time constant of 77 s, so temperature rises gradually and can be monitored through drive diagnostics. The electromagnetic design offers a motor constant of 380 N²/W, a power constant of 46.5 N/A, and a voltage constant of 26.87 V/m/s. Inductance measures 28 mH, and winding resistance is 3.6 Ω; these values affect current rise and drive sizing.
