Product Description:

The MCS030-3S-0180-NNNN is an ironless linear motor secondary part produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MCS Linear Motors series. Serving as the magnet track, it combines permanent magnets with a steel base to form a fixed guideway for the moving coil assembly. By eliminating iron in the active element, the unit supports cogging-free motion, consistent force generation, and low moving mass in precision pick-and-place stages, electronic component insertion machines, and other automated positioning tasks.

Its frame size is 030, which matches primary segments of the same designation. The secondary part length is 180 mm, and its mass is 1.0 kg, giving a linear mass density of 5.5 kg/m that must be considered when calculating support loads. A Steel base plate provides mechanical rigidity, while the magnetic circuit is protected by a Nickel-plated iron finish and an Epoxy coating over the magnets to resist corrosion in humid production areas. The magnet rows are arranged with a 30 mm pole width, which sets the electrical cycle for the drive amplifier. Standard mounting uses countersunk screws; Variant 1 uses a 4.3 mm drill hole with M4 hardware tightened to 3.1 Nm, and Variant 2 uses an M5 thread 9 mm deep with a tightening torque of 6.1 Nm.

The secondary track has an IP00 protection rating, so it must be enclosed or installed where conductive debris and liquids cannot contact the magnets. Operation is permitted up to 40 °C, after which magnet demagnetization and adhesive limits may be reached. Installation altitude is limited to 1000 m because reduced air density above that height can affect system performance. The nickel and epoxy layers provide basic surface protection, but the assembly still requires adequate clearance because it does not include integral covers. Proper fastening with the specified torque values helps maintain alignment and prevent vibration under dynamic thrust.
