Product Description:

The MLP140C-0170-FS-N0CN-NNNN is a primary segment in the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series from Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It converts drive current into traveling magnetic fields that move along the stator and propel a secondary track without rotary transmission parts. Because force is produced directly along the travel path, the axis can avoid belts, screws, or gear trains that add backlash or wear. This direct-drive arrangement supports precise, low-maintenance motion in pick-and-place gantries, machine-tool axes, and high-speed transport modules where fast response and repeatable positioning are important.

The motor uses Liquid Cooling to circulate coolant through the stator, helping keep copper temperature stable during sustained high-duty operation. Its size 140 format provides an active width suited to higher thrust density than smaller members of the same line. The winding code 0170 matches the electrical characteristics to compatible drives so current can be delivered correctly across the primary. Because this unit is a primary section, the guidance and feedback elements remain external and the active surface stays open for close magnetic coupling. That thermal stability helps maintain consistent force during repetitive cycles and reduces drift across long production runs.

Power cables exit through the front, which lets the lead set route toward the moving carriage instead of the machine base. A standard encapsulation method seals the coil cavities against vibration and coolant seepage while preserving thermal transfer to the cooling jacket. The motor is supplied with no encoder installed, so position feedback must come from an external scale or resolver selected for the axis. External feedback selection also allows the measuring system to match the required travel length and resolution of the machine. With sensing hardware kept off the primary and motion produced as linear thrust, the axis can keep moving mass low and support rapid acceleration over the full travel.
