Rexroth IndraDyn L MLP synchronous linear motors are linear servo drive motors built for direct-drive axes where the motor generates thrust without mechanical transmission elements such as ball screws, belts, gear racks, or gearboxes.
By eliminating those wear components, the series is positioned to deliver high acceleration and velocity, high static/dynamic rigidity, and very high control quality with low or minimized backlash in the power train. The performance spectrum for this synchronous linear technology covers feed-drive systems from roughly 250 N up to about 21,000 N per motor and speeds above 600 m/min, supporting applications such as high-speed cutting, grinding, laser machining, precision machining, handling, packaging, and similar high-dynamic processes. An MLP axis is implemented as a primary part working against a secondary part, and it must be controlled and monitored by a suitable drive controller, with provision to connect additional sensors such as a length measuring system.
