Product Description:

The MCP020C-V180-NI-L1CN-NNNN is an ironless linear motor segment produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the MCP Linear Motors series. It is designed to generate direct linear force without the cogging associated with iron-core designs, making it suitable for pick-and-place stages, gantry axes, and other automation tasks that require smooth motion and low moving mass. By eliminating mechanical transmissions, the motor can improve positioning accuracy and simplify the kinematic chain in high-speed assembly or inspection equipment. That operating principle is especially useful on lightweight axes where rapid reversals, smooth travel, and consistent settling are more important than the higher force density of iron-core alternatives.

Electrical integration centers around a DC link rated at 300 VDC, so the associated drive must supply this bus voltage for nominal thrust. Heat generated by the coils is removed through natural convection, so the stator relies on ambient airflow rather than liquid or forced-air cooling. Power and feedback conductors exit the carriage at the front, providing a fixed reference for cable-track routing, and mechanical attachment uses an I-shaped mounting pattern that matches the standard secondary rail profile. This arrangement supports orderly installation on compact moving axes and helps maintain stable cable movement during repeated reciprocating travel.

The motion feedback scheme uses a hall unit with analog output, giving the drive continuous position-related voltage signals for commutation at low speed and during start-up. This feedback arrangement helps the drive establish stable thrust from standstill before the axis reaches higher travel speeds. Within the product range, motor size 020 indicates a 20 mm wide coil set for compact installation, while frame length C indicates a medium active length within this size. The compact coil width helps the motor fit narrow machine envelopes while keeping moving inertia low for smooth and responsive linear motion.
