The MCP Linear Motors from Bosch Rexroth are ironless linear motor primaries designed for high-precision, high-dynamics positioning where smooth motion and tight synchronization matter.
The moving primary contains a fully potted three-phase copper winding, and it operates inside a U-shaped magnet track (secondary) so the motor generates thrust without the magnetic attraction and cogging forces typical of iron-core designs. This construction yields a linear force constant and supports rapid acceleration because the moving mass is relatively low. The series is engineered for straightforward machine integration with multiple mounting planes and can be supplied with an optional Hall sensor unit used for initial commutation. In the documented range, MCP variants reach thrust levels up to 3,320 N and speeds up to 1,400 m/min, making them common in fast, small-mass motion tasks such as pick-and-place automation and precision measuring/testing equipment.
