Product Description:

The MLP040B-0300-FS-N0CN-NNNN is a linear motor primary from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series. It serves as the energized element of a direct-drive axis, producing linear force by interacting with a permanent-magnet secondary rather than through screws, belts, or gear reducers. That arrangement helps remove mechanical backlash and compliance from the drive train, which is useful on gantries, pick-and-place equipment, and precision tables that must accelerate quickly and stop at repeatable positions. It is intended for applications that need smooth motion without the wear points introduced by rotary-to-linear conversion hardware.

Heat is removed by liquid cooling, with coolant circulating through internal passages to keep winding temperature stable during sustained operation. The unit uses front-exit cabling, which leaves the rear face clear for mounting against a machine structure or cooling surface. A standard encapsulation process secures and protects the coil assembly against vibration and airborne contamination during normal industrial use. Its size 040 format helps it fit into compact multi-axis layouts, while winding code 0300 identifies the electrical characteristics expected by a compatible drive amplifier. These features support continuous force production without adding external transmission hardware.

This primary section is supplied with no encoder, so position feedback must come from an external measuring system or from the control architecture used on the axis. The assigned motor length B gives the active section a balanced footprint for medium-travel applications where installation space remains limited. Separating the motor from the feedback device allows the measuring system to be placed where actual carriage motion is monitored most directly. That arrangement can be useful on machines where structural deflection, carriage compliance, or thermal growth must be measured at the load instead of only at the motor.
