Product Description:

The MLP140A-0060-FT-N0CN-NQNN is a primary section from the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. This open-frame linear motor is engineered to generate direct thrust along a track, eliminating mechanical transmissions in gantry stages, pick-and-place axes, and high-speed machining tables. By combining a magnet track with three-phase coils, the unit converts drive current into precise linear force for position-controlled automation. Because thrust is produced directly at the axis, backlash, belts, and screw wear are avoided in applications that require fast reversal and repeatable positioning. This direct-drive arrangement also supports smooth motion with fewer drivetrain components.

The unit removes heat through liquid cooling, so circulating coolant carries losses away from the copper windings and helps maintain force capacity during continuous duty. A housing classification of IP65 shields the active parts from dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, allowing installation close to the working process. Power leads are routed through the front, which simplifies cable routing when the primary section mounts underneath a carriage plate. The coils are secured by a thermo-encapsulation method, which helps stabilize winding geometry during vibration and thermal cycling. Its open kit-motor design leaves out a closed iron-core housing, allowing direct integration into custom platens or cooled mounting plates.

Position feedback must come from an external scale because the motor is delivered with no encoder installed. The primary section uses motor length A, the shortest build in this size class, to help minimize moving mass. Its active width corresponds to motor size 140, which sets the pole pitch and continuous force range. Electrical behavior is set by winding code 0060; this winding balances inductance and resistance for medium-current, medium-voltage Rexroth linear drives and supports aggressive acceleration without exceeding thermal limits.
