Product Description:

The MLS152S-3A-0180-S002 is a linear motor secondary section built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MLS Synchronous Linear Motors series. As a passive track element, it carries permanent magnets that interact with the traveling primary coil to generate thrust along the machine axis. By completing the magnetic circuit, the segment helps automation systems obtain direct linear motion without gearboxes, belts, or ballscrews. This supports high-speed positioning on packaging, electronic assembly, and material-handling lines while reducing wear points associated with mechanical transmission components.

This segment is sealed to IP65, so dust and low-pressure water jets cannot reach the internal magnetic array. Its active length is 180 mm, allowing overall stroke to be extended by combining multiple sections end to end. A housing formed from a stainless steel sheet resists corrosion in washdown or chemically cleaned environments, while an integrated rustless cover plate shields the magnet layer from impact and debris. Mechanical attachment uses fixing with screws, providing repeatable clamping force that helps prevent movement under dynamic loads. The exposed pole faces are oriented north/south opposed, and this alternating pattern creates the magnetic field required for synchronous linear propulsion when the primary is energized by the drive.

Within the motor family, the unit is a secondary part and uses the secondary motor type code S. It is matched to compatible primary modules that share the same pole pitch and feedback scheme. Classification under the MLS Synchronous Linear Motors product group means thermal coefficients, expansion allowances, and service tooling are standardized across the axis. That consistency helps when several sections are installed in sequence on the same machine bed for industrial automation service.
