Product Description:

The MCP040E-V300-NI-L1CN-NNNN linear motor is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the MCP Linear Motors series. It is an ironless primary section intended to create direct linear thrust for precision axes used in gantries, pick-and-place stations, and metrology equipment. Because the winding pack rides in an air gap without iron lamination, the motor avoids detent forces that can disturb slow or high-resolution moves. This helps the drive controller maintain smooth velocity and accurate positioning along the magnet track. That behavior is useful in inspection and handling systems where even small force ripple can affect repeatability.

Its power and encoder cables leave the housing at the front, simplifying strain relief when the carriage travels close to fixed cable chains. Heat is removed through natural convection, so no external liquid or fan circuit is required and the motor can be mounted on lightweight axes. The winding set is energized from a 300 VDC bus supplied by the servo amplifier, which supports the force the coil can develop before saturation. Frame length code E indicates the active coil stack depth used for this motor size. Hall sensors with analog output provide coarse position signals so the drive can commutate immediately after startup, reducing the distance required before fine feedback devices take control.

Size code 040 establishes the coil’s active width and matches it to companion secondary rails and cable carriers. The I-shape mounting footprint places fixing holes along the longitudinal centerline, so the primary part can bolt directly to an aluminum carriage plate without adapters. This layout is suited to compact carriage designs that need centered mounting and predictable cable routing. The motor is used in linear motion systems where direct drive operation removes belts, screws, and other mechanical transmission elements from the moving axis. The centered mounting pattern also helps keep the moving assembly balanced during rapid reversals.
