Product Description:

The MLP100B-0120-FT-N0CN-NNNN linear motor primary section is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series. As a synchronous linear motor, it converts electrical input directly into axial thrust for gantries, pick-and-place axes, and other precision transport modules in automated production lines. The design eliminates mechanical transmissions and drives the payload along the track with high positioning repeatability.

Its continuous nominal force is 1785 N, which is the thrust it can supply indefinitely when the integrated liquid cooling circuit keeps the windings at rated temperature. The output is proportional to a force constant of 146.30 N/A, so each ampere of phase current produces predictable linear thrust. During acceleration, the motor can draw up to 71.2 A; at that level, the maximum force reaches 5600 N, while a winding inductance of 25.6 mH and a winding resistance of 4.5 ohms influence current rise and copper losses. The rated operating current is 12.2 A, the voltage constant is 84.4 Vs/m, and a nominal velocity of 190 m/min can be maintained without exceeding the continuous force limit.

The magnetic design creates an attractive force of 8000 N toward the secondary track, so the mechanical supports must withstand that preload while also handling a peak velocity of 120 m/min at full force. Heat generation is listed as 1300 W of power loss, and it is removed by coolant flowing through front-routed hoses. The minimum coolant flow is 1.9 L/min with a pressure drop of only 0.5 bar. The liquid circuit reaches thermal equilibrium in 2.4 minutes, aided by a pole width of 37.5 mm. The motor has size 100 with length code B, the coils use a thermo-encapsulation method, wiring is routed through the front, and no encoder is installed, so the product relies on external position feedback.
