Product Description:

The MLS052S-3A-0180-NNNN is the secondary section of a linear drive manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and assigned to the MLS Synchronous Linear Motors product group. As a component of the MLS Synchronous Linear Motors series, this secondary part interacts with a primary for direct electromagnetic thrust along a machine axis, eliminating conventional rotary-to-linear conversions. Within industrial automation systems it serves in transport, positioning, or gantry modules where high dynamic force and precise motion are required under harsh plant environments. Because force is generated directly along the travel path, the axis can avoid the backlash and wear associated with screw or belt transmissions.

This secondary section is classified as a Second Part Linear Motor. It serves as the passive part that completes the magnetic circuit with the energized primary. A sealed construction rated at IP65 prevents dust ingress and water jets from reaching internal laminations. The external surface is clad in a stainless steel sheet that resists corrosion and simplifies wipe-down cleaning. Installation uses screw mounting, so the segment is secured directly to the machine bed without intermediary clamps. Additional mechanical shielding is provided by a cover sheet to guard the secondary stack against accidental contact and flying debris.

Pole orientation is indicated by the S (South Pole) marking on each lamination end, ensuring correct alignment with the corresponding north poles on the track. For dynamic modeling, the segment has a linear mass of 8.5 kg/m, and the delivered piece weighs 1.5 kg. It is assigned to the secondary motor type S category, which indicates the magnetic arrangement used with compatible MLS primaries. This information is useful when several segments are arranged end to end and when the support structure must account for both static load and moving-axis behavior.
