Product Description:

The MLP070C-0240-FT-N0CN-NNNN is a synchronous linear motor primary section from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series. It supplies direct linear thrust instead of rotary motion, allowing carriage or gantry axes in automated machinery to accelerate without mechanical transmissions. By converting drive current directly into force along its active length, the unit supports high-speed positioning tasks in packaging, electronics assembly, and material handling lines.

For continuous operation, the motor delivers 1200 N of thrust, and its attractive force toward the secondary track reaches 5500 N, which must be considered when sizing bearings. Internal liquid channels remove heat, and a coolant flow of 1.6 L/min passes through a 0.111 L duct to keep copper temperature stable during heavy duty cycles. The liquid-cooled design has a force constant of 77.10 N/A, so drive current translates linearly into propulsion. At the rated current of 15.6 A, the mover operates within its intended continuous range, while the maximum velocity under full load is 240 m/min. A peak current limit of 107.9 A allows fast starts, and the 37.5 mm pole width sets the magnetic pitch that the secondary track must match. The aluminum-encased module weighs 18.4 kg, and the voltage constant is 44.5 Vs/m for inverter selection.

During acceleration bursts, the motor can exert 3800 N, while power loss is held to 1100 W because of the low thermal resistance of its coils. Winding code 0240 pairs an inductance of 11.6 mH with a resistance of 2.0 ohms, giving electrical time constants suited to fast current control loops. Thermo-encapsulation protects the windings from coolant ingress, and conductors exit through the front of the housing to simplify cable routing. No encoder is installed, so external position feedback is required. The compact 070 size mover fits the MLP product group.
