Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactures the MCP020C-V180-NI-L0CN-NNNN as a member of the MCP Linear Motors series. This component is an ironless primary part that generates linear thrust directly on a passive track, so it serves motion axes that demand low moving mass and zero mechanical backlash. Because there is no contact-driven transmission element, the axis can reverse direction without the wear associated with screws, belts, or gear trains. In automated assembly cells, its contact-free operation supports micron-level repeatability for rapid pick-and-place, inspection, or dispensing processes.

A DC bus of 300 VDC supplies the stator windings, giving a high voltage margin for fast current rise during acceleration. Heat produced by copper losses is removed by natural convection, allowing the unit to operate without forced airflow or liquid circuits when mounted on an aluminum platen. Service wiring exits at the front side, so cable chains can be routed parallel to the travel path and remain clear of adjoining axes. The mover width corresponds to size code 020, which keeps the footprint compact and helps reduce moving mass. The integral Hall array provides digital output signals that the controller uses for coarse commutation before fine encoder interpolation.

Mechanical integration is influenced by frame length code C, which indicates an extended coil stack that raises continuous thrust without changing the motor cross-section. Mounting holes follow an I-shaped pattern, allowing the primary section to seat directly on narrow guide carriages while keeping the magnetic gap consistent along the stroke. This layout supports compact machine axes where installation space is limited and alignment along the travel path must remain stable. The unit is supplied in a baseline configuration without added special features, and the forcer uses an ironless layout that avoids attraction forces that could load the bearings.
