Internal Product Review

The AL2418-0001-0001 is a Beckhoff linear servo motor with speed winding and M23/D-Sub connectors. A 360 N continuous force under air cooling and a 720 N peak force make the motor especially appealing for precision motion axes. A 1300 N magnetic attraction force stands out as a strong specification for stable operation in demanding positioning applications.

Product Description:

The AL2418-0001-0001 is a linear servo motor segment produced by Beckhoff for the AL Linear Motors series. Intended for integration on magnet tracks, the mover converts drive current directly into thrust so that machine builders can achieve deterministic linear motion without belts, screws, or gearboxes. Its role in industrial automation is to deliver controlled force and velocity along production lines while maintaining a compact installation depth.

The electrical ratings cover both continuous operation and short dynamic loads. The phase windings draw 9.23 A during steady operation, producing an air-cooled continuous force of 360 N while dissipating 296 W of power into the stator laminations. For rapid indexing cycles, the current may rise to 25.10 A, allowing a momentary peak force of 720 N that overcomes inertial or process loads. A maximum carriage speed of 10 m/s can be reached when the mover travels over the 24 mm pole pitch. Magnetic attraction between the coils and the permanent-magnet track reaches 1300 N, so the mechanical restraints must be rated accordingly. Eighteen individual coils are wired in a speed-winding pattern with 1.7 Ω resistance and connected through M23 and D-Sub plugs. The power constant of 39 N/A relates the commanded current to the generated thrust.

Thermal behavior is governed by a motor constant of 570 N²/W, a thermal resistance of 0.25 °C/W, and a 75 s thermal time constant, keeping temperature rise predictable during repetitive duty cycles. The phase inductance of 11 mH supports stable current control, while a voltage constant of 22.63 V/m/s establishes the back electromotive force at high traverse rates. The frame width measures 50 mm, and air cooling is standard because the mover is supplied without water cooling.
