Product Description:

The MLP200C-0120-FT-N0CN-NNNN is a primary section from the MLP Synchronous Linear Motors series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. With motor size 200, it has a medium footprint, and the conductors exit through the front of the housing for routing into drag chains. As a synchronous linear motor, it converts stator coil current directly into thrust along the track, eliminating mechanical transmissions in gantry, pick-and-place, or machining applications. A liquid-cooled, thermo-encapsulated winding block supports continuous operation at high force density across the standard rails used in the series.

Its continuous workload rating is 4,460 N, meaning the motor can sustain this linear force when cooling requirements are met. Each ampere of phase current produces 157.20 N/A, linking commanded current to generated thrust. Under normal conditions, the coils draw 28.4 A, which provides a baseline for inverter selection. The winding inductance is 9.0 mH, and the thermal system responds over 2.4 min. The copper paths have a resistance of 1.76 ohms at 20 °C, which affects power loss.

For short bursts, the motor can reach a peak thrust of 14,250 N, while the magnetic circuit can produce an attractive load of 20,500 N that must be supported by the carriage structure. Achieving these peaks may momentarily require up to 165.6 A, so the supply and cabling must accommodate high transient currents. Liquid circulation removes losses, and the system requires 3.9 l/min of coolant flowing through a 0.358 l internal duct at a maximum inlet pressure of 10.0 bar to carry away 2,700 W of resistive heat. With adequate cooling, the mover can advance at 190 m/min under nominal load and maintain 120 m/min when delivering maximum force. The motor does not include a position sensor, so an external encoder must be mounted on the machine axis.
