Product Description:

The MLP100A-0090-FT-N0CN-NNNN is a synchronous linear motor module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series. It acts as the active thrust element in gantries, transfer lines, and pick-and-place axes, converting drive current directly into linear force along a magnet track. By moving without rotary-to-linear transmissions, the unit allows precise positioning and high cycle rates in compact machinery used in modern industrial automation. Its compact A length and size 100 format simplify integration inside multi-axis platforms. Power and sensor cabling exit on the front side, and no encoder is installed on this mover.

It delivers a continuous nominal force of 1,180 N, enabling stable feed motion at a nominal velocity of 150 m/min without exceeding permitted winding temperature. A closed liquid cooling jacket removes the 1,500 W dissipated by the windings; its circuit requires a flow of 2.0 L/min and tolerates inlet pressure up to 10 bar. Drive electronics reference a voltage constant of 114.80 Vs/m, so back EMF rises with speed and must be considered when sizing the DC bus. Under rated conditions, the motor draws 5.9 A, while its coil set presents an inductance of 66.9 mH, which affects current ripple and controller bandwidth. Its force constant is 198.90 N/A, and it uses a 12.0 Ohm winding resistance, a 0090 coil design, and a 37.5 mm pole width that helps moderate ripple.

For rapid indexing or heavy payloads, the mover can deliver 3,750 N of peak thrust when the drive supplies up to 34.2 A. At that force level, velocity is limited to 90 m/min to maintain thermal margins. The magnetic circuit exerts an attractive load of 5,400 N toward the reaction plate, so the mechanical guideway must withstand this constant pull. With thermo-encapsulation, the module itself weighs 17.0 kg, which should be considered in moving-mass calculations and when setting the axis acceleration profile.
