Product Description:

The MCS030-3S-0120-NNNN is a secondary part from the MCS Linear Motors series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. This ironless track segment works with a moving primary coil to create the magnetic circuit needed for contact-free linear propulsion. In industrial automation, it serves as the fixed guideway in packaging lines, electronics assembly cells, and other machinery that requires accurate positioning without the backlash associated with screw or belt drives.

Its geometric reference begins with frame size 030, which uses the cross-section found throughout this series. The secondary part length is 120 mm, giving a short modular section that can be placed end to end to build the required travel distance. A width of 25.0 mm helps reduce installation space while preserving the surface area needed for flux return. The part mass of 0.7 kg helps limit structural loading where several sections are mounted on the same support. Its relative linear weight of 5.5 kg/m also helps with rail and mounting calculations. Mounting follows the standard style and uses fastening screws through the supplied steel base plate, allowing straightforward alignment against datum surfaces.

The section uses a steel substrate, so it tolerates mechanical clamping forces during installation. A nickel-plated finish limits oxidation in humid production zones and helps protect the exposed surface during normal machine use. With a protection rating of IP00, the rail is intended for installation inside a closed machine frame where direct contact with liquids or dust is avoided. The permissible setup altitude extends to 1000 m, so standard factory elevations can be used without special accommodation. The rail is intended for enclosed installations where the surrounding machine structure provides the required guarding.
