Product Description:

The IC11015A1P1 is a moving-coil module from Kollmorgen's IC Ironcore Direct Drive Motors series. In linear stages and gantries, it replaces rotary motors and screw mechanisms by generating force directly along a magnet track, allowing precise position control without mechanical backlash. Within industrial automation, this ironcore coil works with an IC magnet way to deliver controlled linear thrust for pick-and-place heads, dispensing slides, and other point-to-point processes that require high repeatability and smooth linear motion.

Under continuous duty, the coil produces 73 N of linear force when its winding temperature reaches the maximum allowable rise, and it draws a steady 3.9 Arms to do so. This operating point corresponds to a force constant of 18.9 N/Arms, showing the proportional relationship between current and thrust at 25 °C. Electromagnetic response is influenced by a phase-to-phase inductance of 9.1 mH, which limits current rise during drive switching, and a phase resistance of 1.4 Ω, which contributes to copper losses. Those losses permit continuous dissipation of 44 W, with heat flowing through a thermal path rated at 2.40 °C/W. Because the assembly uses no active cooling, the 50 mm coil width and 15 mm magnet way width must be matched to an external structure that can absorb the generated heat.

For short bursts, the drive may supply a peak current of 11.3 Arms, allowing the coil to generate up to 190 N of thrust before thermal limits intervene. Motion along the magnet track produces a back electromotive force of 15.4 Vpeak/m/s between phases, so the amplifier must accommodate that voltage during high-speed travel. The thermal limit is capped at a winding temperature of 130 °C, and staying below this level helps preserve insulation life. A coil mass of 1.7 kg helps keep moving inertia low, and the 400 mm pre-terminated cable simplifies routing inside compact linear carriages.
