Product Description

Industrial automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and types of machinery in the industry. This is a normal state after the mechanization evolution in the development of industrialization. It boils down to increasing quality, flexibility and enabling repeatability in manufacturing processes.

Earlier the purpose of automation was to increase productivity to 24/7 and to reduce the cost and risks associated with human operators. Nowadays, the focus of automation has shifted to increasing quality and flexibility in the manufacturing process. These major shifts and changes have created a demanding market with a continuously growing need for new solutions and upgraded systems. Parallel to industrial processes development, manufacturers as well had to align and grow. Those, who have invested timely in development, production, and knowledge are now globally known, as the Kollmorgen Corporation, which is the manufacturer of direct drive linear motors like the IC22030A1P1103.

This is an IronCore 22 series motor coil, 30 mm width, A1 winding designation terminated with 16’’ cable with connector. Some important specifications are rated peak force 750 N, continuous force 298 N, current peak at 11.0 Arms, and 2.9 kN magnetic attraction. The motor uses a magnetic type MC030. One of its integrations is the patented anti-cogging technique for minimal cogging without magnet skewing. The amplifier gets necessary commutation information directly from the linear encoder, either with or without digital Hall-effect devices on startup. Other feedback devices can be used in this case, such as linear Inductosyns, laser interferometers or LVDT’s. In conclusion, the IC22030A1P1103 linear motor performs above average with high throughput, accuracy and zero maintenance.
