Product Description:

The MLP140A-0060-FT-N0CN-TQNN linear motor primary section is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series. It is a moving coil assembly that travels along a passive secondary track to deliver direct linear thrust for positioning tables, pick-and-place axes, and similar motion modules in automated cells. By eliminating rotary-to-linear conversions, the unit improves dynamic response and reduces mechanical wear in high-cycle production lines. The primary section is intended for use with a compatible secondary track and drive system that regulate current and motion along the travel axis.

The motor’s thermal, environmental, and wiring features protect output performance. The stator windings are cooled by liquid cooling, which extracts heat directly from the copper and permits high continuous force in a compact frame. Power is introduced through a front cable connection, so service loops can remain outside moving envelopes. A molded thermo-encapsulation method bonds the windings to the yoke, helping resist vibration-related loosening and improving heat transfer through the assembly. The housing meets IP65, which helps keep dust and low-pressure water jets away from active parts. For safety, the secondary rail temperature may rise to 70 °C before temperature monitors trigger a stop command.

The coil is delivered with no encoder installed, allowing the motion system to use separate feedback devices suited to the machine layout. Its compact A length variant reduces moving mass, while the frame width of 140 mm provides a moderate cross-section for mid-range gantry axes and positioning modules. Electromagnetic behavior follows winding code 0060, giving a resistance and inductance combination suited to drives that supply high peak current without saturating the magnetic circuit. The compact format also helps the axis settle quickly after short moves and frequent direction changes, which is useful in repetitive transfer applications.
