Product Description:

The MCP020B-V180-NI-L1CN-NNNN is a linear drive module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MCP Linear Motors series. As an ironless primary section, it generates thrust directly along a magnet track without the cogging that occurs in slotted designs. Machine builders integrate this mover into pick-and-place axes, precision gantries, or packaging stations where smooth force delivery and low moving mass improve cycle time and accuracy. The unit pairs with Rexroth digital drives that supply a regulated DC bus and position feedback, forming a closed-loop axis inside automated machinery.

The drive coil is energized from a 300 VDC bus, a voltage level that matches Rexroth IndraDrive power sections and keeps cable current moderate for compact movers. Heat produced by copper losses is removed through natural convection, allowing installation on moving carriages without fans, hoses, or coolant plates. Mechanical fastening follows the I-shape mounting style so rail clamps line up with industry-standard slot spacing. The mover’s structural depth is indexed by frame length B, giving additional active copper for higher continuous force than shorter variants. Position reference comes from a Hall unit with analog output, which assists the servo drive during commutation and start-up alignment.

Service routing is simplified by the front cable exit because power and sensor conductors remain within the axis envelope when the carriage reverses direction. With a compact 020 motor size, the mover has low mass, which helps reduce inertia and support rapid acceleration on short-stroke applications. As an MCP Ironless Linear Motor, the coil sits between opposing magnet plates, which minimizes attractive forces and eliminates iron saturation during peak thrust events. The design does not include optional special features offered on larger Rexroth movers.
