Product Description:
The AL2012-0001-0001 linear motor primary section is produced by Beckhoff within the AL Linear Motors series. It belongs to the company’s linear servo motor product range and is intended to generate direct thrust along an active stator track, eliminating mechanical transmissions in industrial automation. Electrical terminations are provided through M23 power and D-Sub signal connectors, and the 80 mm wide housing integrates into standard mounting plates.
The motor draws a continuous phase current of 8.60 A, which produces a sustained thrust of 400 N. Under this load, it dissipates 300 W of heat, so the machine cooling system must accommodate that loss. The coil pack can travel at up to 7 m/s when commanded by a matching servo drive. A motor constant of 760 N²/W relates the generated force to the internal power loss and indicates the efficiency of the magnetic circuit. Twelve equally distributed coils and a speed winding design lower the inductance to 14 mH and limit the winding resistance to 1.8 Ω, supporting responsive current regulation. A power constant of 46.5 N/A indicates the incremental force produced per ampere. These electrical characteristics support direct thrust generation without the backlash, compliance, or wear associated with mechanical transmission components.
For short-duty peaks, the winding can accept 26.2 A, enabling a transient force of 900 N for rapid acceleration or temporary load increases. The magnetic geometry uses a 24 mm pole pitch, and the unit has no water-cooling pipes because it is supplied without water cooling. Thermal behavior is characterized by a thermal resistance of 0.24 °C/W and a thermal time constant of 77 seconds, indicating how quickly the coil temperature rises after current changes. The voltage constant is 26.87 V/m/s, providing the relationship between travel speed and generated back electromotive force. At higher speeds, this back electromotive force must remain within the voltage capacity of the connected servo drive. The peak current and transient thrust ratings permit brief acceleration demands while the continuous values govern sustained operation.
