Product Description:
The AL2418-0001-0000 is a coil unit from Beckhoff’s AL Linear Motors series. As a linear servo motor, this part generates thrust directly along a magnet track, eliminating mechanical transmissions in pick-and-place axes, gantries, and packaging machinery. It is supplied without connectors, allowing the machine builder to route power and feedback cables through custom assemblies. This arrangement supports installations in which cable length, routing, and termination must match the available machine space.
This coil delivers a continuous thrust of 360 N while drawing a steady phase current of 9.23 A. These paired ratings indicate the force available for constant-velocity moves without exceeding winding temperature limits. For rapid indexing or overcoming static friction, the drive can supply up to 25.10 A, raising output to a peak force of 720 N for short bursts. An electromotive force constant of 22.63 V/m/s indicates how much back electromotive force appears per meter per second of slider velocity. This value can be used when sizing the DC bus voltage and estimating regenerative energy. Continuous power loss is 296 W, so adequate heat dissipation must be provided through the mounting plate.
The motor constant is 570 N²/W, indicating how much thrust is produced for each watt of copper loss and providing a direct measure of electrical utilization. Thermal modeling shows that the resistance from the coil to the ambient air is 0.25 °C/W, allowing the steady-state temperature rise to be calculated from the stated losses. A thermal time constant of 75 s describes the delay before the winding approaches its new equilibrium after a load change. The coil unit weighs 2.3 kg and measures 50 mm wide, so it adds moderate inertia to the moving carriage. The unit has 18 speed windings, a 24 mm pole pitch, 11 mH inductance, and 1.7 Ω resistance for drive tuning. Magnetic attraction force reaches 1,300 N. The design operates without water cooling and instead transfers heat by conduction through the yoke.
