Product Description:

The MLP040B-0150-FT-N0CN-NNNN is a primary section from the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. As a linear motor, it converts electrical energy into direct thrust, removing the need for gearboxes and ball screws in gantry stages, pick-and-place axes, and similar automation frames. Length code B and size 040 indicate a compact housing that measures 310 mm wide, 108 mm deep, and 73.9 mm high, allowing the unit to fit into tight machine spaces without changing carriage geometry. The primary section works with a matching magnetic track to generate motion directly along the travel path.

The motor delivers a continuous thrust of 370 N while drawing a rated phase current of 3.9 A. At this operating point, it dissipates 550 W of heat, which is removed by an integrated liquid cooling circuit; coolant flow must be at least 0.8 L/min and inlet pressure may reach 10 bar. Thermo-encapsulation helps stabilize the winding stack during repeated thermal cycling, and the housing is sealed to IP65 to help keep debris away from the magnetic gap. Electrical power enters through the front of the coil pack, which can simplify cable routing on moving carriages. At nominal conditions, the coil can translate at 300 m/min without saturation.

For short bursts, the coil produces a peak force of 1150 N when the drive supplies up to 18.7 A. Under this overload, the thrust plate can still reach 150 m/min. The magnetic pole pitch is 37.5 mm, which helps balance cogging and stiffness along the travel path. Depth, height, and width stay the same, so enclosure volume remains predictable during axis layout. No encoder is installed, so position feedback must come from an external linear scale, and the sealed cooling channels help support stable operation during repeated high-load moves.
