Product Description:

The MCP040B-V300-NI-N0CN-NNNN is a linear motor primary section manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the MCP Linear Motors series. Intended for direct-drive positioning tables, it produces thrust without screws, belts, or gear reducers, which helps the axis move with smooth response and precise positioning in semiconductor handlers, pick-and-place gantries, and electronic assembly lines. Because force is generated directly along the motion path, the unit avoids backlash from intermediate transmission components and supports repeatable travel during frequent start-and-stop cycles. That direct-drive arrangement is especially useful where small moves, rapid reversals, and stable velocity control are required across short production cycles.

This model operates from a 300 VDC supply on the integrated DC bus, a level commonly used in Rexroth multi-axis drive packages. Thermal management relies on natural convection, so no liquid loops or forced-air blowers are required, and surrounding machine layouts do not need separate cooling hardware for the motor itself. Power and feedback leads exit at the front, which helps route cables in a forward direction when the moving plate enters a compact carrier system. This orientation can also reduce cable twist on shuttle axes that reverse direction often. The forcer attaches to the track with an I-shape mounting footprint that aligns with standardized adapter bars and helps keep the magnetic centerline in the intended position.

The motor size of 040 indicates the active coil width, and frame length B sets the axial stack for continuous force capability and thermal mass. The assembly is an ironless linear motor, so the mover has negligible cogging and very low attractive force toward the magnet rail, which can make guide systems easier to size for smooth motion. This arrangement is well suited to applications that need clean, quiet travel with fine interpolation at low speed. With no contact-based transmission element between the motor and the load, motion quality depends mainly on the guide system and the drive current control. It can also be paired with standard secondary tracks, temperature monitoring components, and compatible drive controllers without requiring a separate mechanical transmission stage.
