Product Description:

The MCP040C-V300-NI-N0CN-NNNN is an ironless linear motor section manufactured for the MCP Linear Motors series. It serves as the moving primary in a direct-drive axis, generating thrust along a fixed magnetic track so motion can be commanded without belts, screws, or gear trains. By removing mechanical transmission elements, the unit supports precise positioning with reduced wear in pick-and-place modules, gantry stages, and light machining lines. This arrangement also helps maintain smooth travel because there are fewer mechanical parts that can introduce backlash or service-related adjustments.

The coil assembly operates from a bus voltage of 300 VDC, so it must be paired with compatible drive electronics and wiring insulation suited to that level. Thermal management relies on natural convection, so no fans or liquid plates are required, and enclosure airflow must carry away the coil’s resistive losses. Service leads exit at the front of the body, allowing cable chains to run parallel with the travel path and keeping loop height low in compact axes. The mounting rail uses an I-shape profile, which provides two parallel reference edges for alignment on an aluminum machine bed. Size code 040 indicates the cross-sectional width of the coil carrier, and that dimension influences both force density and the size of compatible magnet tracks.

Frame length C sets the active copper stack depth and affects the maximum continuous force available before thermal limits are reached. Classified as an MCP ironless linear motor, the mover has no back iron, so detent ripple is negligible and velocity regulation remains smooth even at very low speeds. The mover is supplied in a standard configuration, so its mechanical interfaces and electrical characteristics follow the regular MCP product range without custom modifications. This makes the section suitable for modular transport and handling equipment that uses standard mounting and cable-routing layouts.
