Product Description:

The MCS070-3S-0180-NNNN is a secondary part from the MCS Linear Motors series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. As an ironless linear motor component, it forms the passive track that interacts magnetically with a moving primary section to generate thrust without mechanical contact. In automated assembly lines, pick-and-place modules, or gantry stages, this passive section provides the ferromagnetic profile needed for smooth, cog-free motion while adding minimal mass to the system. Because the secondary section remains stationary, the moving primary does not need to carry this mass along the travel path.

This part follows frame designation 070, giving it a fixed cross-section that aligns with complementary primary units in the same family. Its secondary length is 180 mm, the width is 49.5 mm, and the steel laminations with the mounting bar weigh 4.5 kg; these dimensions help determine stroke coverage and load distribution. Mounting is done with screws that comply with Bolt Property Class 8.8 and the DIN EN ISO 4762 cap-head standard, inserted through clearance holes of 8.5 mm diameter. The maximum screw-in depth is limited to 12 mm so that fasteners do not intrude into the active magnetic region. The contactless operating principle avoids friction between the thrust-generating elements, which supports consistent motion over repeated cycles.

During installation, each mounting screw should be tightened to 25 Nm, which secures the segment without distorting the track. The part uses an M8 thread size, which standardizes tooling across the series. A consistent mounting interval of 30 ±0.1 mm supports accurate alignment on linear guide rails, and the standard mounting style without additional design features keeps installation straightforward. Several secondary sections can be positioned in a continuous row when longer travel distances are required.
