Product Description:

The MCP070M-V050-NI-L1CN-NNNN is a linear motor manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and released as part of the MCP Linear Motors series. Designed as the active primary section, it produces thrust directly along a magnet track so automated pick-and-place axes, gantries, and precision assembly stages can move without belts, screws, or gearboxes. The ironless mover minimizes cogging, allowing smooth interpolation and highly accurate positioning in industrial automation equipment. Direct linear force also reduces the number of mechanical transmission components between the motor and the moving load. This arrangement supports responsive motion because the drive does not need to compensate for gearbox backlash or screw-related compliance.

Electrical power for the mover comes from a DC link rated at 300 V DC; this operating voltage establishes the maximum back EMF and the current range that the connected drive must supply. Power and feedback conductors exit on the front side, simplifying cable routing when the carriage reverses direction inside a compact machine frame. Heat generated in the windings is dissipated through natural convection, so external coolant plates and fans are not required. The mover uses motor size code 070, which indicates the width of the coil assembly and its corresponding continuous force class. Proper airflow around the housing helps prevent trapped heat from reducing the available continuous thrust. The cable loop must also allow unrestricted carriage travel while avoiding excessive bending or mechanical strain at the connection point.

The motor has a medium frame length identified by the code M, providing additional active copper for higher peak force without increasing the overall width. Position feedback is generated by a Hall unit with an analog output, allowing sinusoidal commutation and providing absolute phase information during startup. This phase information helps the drive establish the correct current sequence before normal controlled movement begins. The mover attaches to a load plate through an I-shaped mounting profile, which maintains rigidity while keeping moving mass low for fast acceleration. Its mounting surface should remain flat and securely fastened so the primary section stays aligned with the magnet track throughout its travel. Adequate clearance between the moving and stationary sections prevents contact while preserving the air gap required for consistent thrust production.
