Product Description:

The MLP040A-0300-FS-N0CN-NNNN is a primary section from the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Designed for direct-drive applications, this linear motor converts electrical energy directly into linear thrust, eliminating gearboxes and ball screws. It is used on moving gantries, portal axes, and high-speed pick-and-place modules where precise force control and repeatable acceleration are required. The size 040 format and length code A keep the active surface compact, allowing the unit to fit close to the payload without adding unnecessary carriage mass.

Its continuous nominal thrust reaches 250 N when the cooling circuit is active. For rapid indexing, the coil delivers a maximum force of 800 N during short duty cycles. To generate that performance, the winding draws a rated current of 4.2 A, while the drive must accommodate peaks up to 20 A during acceleration phases. Energy is supplied over a common DC link regulated at 540 V DC, which helps limit conductor losses and provides enough headroom for the back electromotive force produced at high traverse speeds. Because the motor acts directly on the axis, the drive system can respond quickly without the added compliance of mechanical transmission components.

Thermal stability is maintained by an integrated liquid cooling jacket, so temperature rise remains controlled even when the slider cruises at the nominal travel speed of 500 m/min. When additional thrust is required, the motor can still propel the carriage to 300 m/min while sustaining full force at the upper end of its performance curve. All power and sensor leads exit the stator through the front face, which simplifies cable routing and helps prevent loop formation. The magnetic configuration follows winding code 0300, and the standard encapsulation method seals the coil pack. No encoder is installed, so position feedback must be provided by a separate system when closed-loop motion control is required.
