Product Description:

The MCP040C-V300-NI-L0CN-NNNN is an ironless linear motor primary section produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the MCP Linear Motors series. As an ironless design, the forcer travels along a permanent-magnet track without cogging, delivering smooth thrust for pick-and-place axes, inspection gantries, or light material-handling stages. The component forms the moving part of a linear servo system, converting drive-supplied DC bus energy into direct linear force so machines can position loads with high dynamic performance and minimal mechanical transmission. Because force is generated directly along the travel path, the axis can make precise short-stroke moves and quick reversals without rotary-to-linear linkages. This direct-drive arrangement also reduces the need for screws, belts, and gearboxes in applications where low backlash and fast response are important.

Electrical input is provided by a drive operating on a 300 VDC bus, so coil insulation and connectors are suited to mid-range industrial power classes. Heat generated in the windings is removed only by natural convection, which avoids external liquid or forced-air cooling hardware and helps keep moving mass low. The slider’s mechanical profile follows an I-shape mounting style that presents a flat base with integrated through-holes for alignment on aluminum machine frames. Overall length index C extends the active coil stack, raising continuous force compared with shorter variants while retaining the narrow cross-section expected from the product family. The motor belongs to size code 040, which suits compact multi-axis platforms where installation space is limited. That narrow format helps the motor fit crowded machine tables and stacked axis assemblies.

Service connections exit at the front, letting cable loops run parallel to travel and reducing bending stress during reciprocating motion. This layout also simplifies cable routing on compact carriages where bend radius and travel clearance must be managed carefully. The onboard Hall unit provides digital output signals, giving the drive coarse position information and supporting phase commutation immediately after power-up. The unit is supplied in a standard configuration without added environmental coatings or custom winding options. Matched linear axes can use the same mounting and connection approach across a machine platform.
