Product Description:

The MLS040S-3A-0600-NNNN is a secondary section in the MLS Synchronous Linear Motors series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. As a secondary part, it works with the primary coil assembly to generate direct thrust in machinery that requires straight-line motion, such as pick-and-place axes or gantry tables. By eliminating rotary-to-linear conversions, this component streamlines positioning tasks and supports precise, feedback-controlled automation. This arrangement can also reduce the need for intermediate mechanical transmission parts in linear motion systems.

The base plate is made of steel, giving the section a rigid mounting surface that helps maintain magnetic gap accuracy under load. A depth of 75 mm sets the installation envelope from the mounting face to the back of the plate, helping the machine layout accommodate the required space accurately. With an ingress rating of IP65, the unit resists dust and low-pressure water jets so it can be placed near coolant sprays or machining debris without added covers. Motion is driven by a track of permanent magnets, which supply continuous flux without external excitation and support thrust generation along the travel path. The secondary section weighs 3.2 kg, which should be considered when calculating the total moving or supported mass of the axis.

The segment uses a length index of 0600, giving it a fixed 600 mm increment that can be tiled to build longer strokes while keeping a consistent pole pitch. It belongs to motor size 040, which standardizes the cross-sectional dimensions for matching installation points within this size group. The secondary motor type is coded as S, indicating the magnet orientation matched to corresponding primaries for proper thrust production. Mechanical attachment uses fixing with screws, a direct bolting method that transfers magnetic forces into the machine frame. The supplied cover sheet shields the magnet track from accidental contact during installation and operation.
