Product Description:

The ICD05030A1TRC1 is a moving-coil module produced by Kollmorgen for the ICD Ironcore Direct Drives series. Installed over a matching magnet track, it converts three-phase current directly into linear force, so no rotary-to-linear transmission is needed. This arrangement is well suited for gantry axes, inspection stages, and high-speed packaging equipment that need fast response, precise positioning, and short settling times. Because motion is generated in a straight line, the module avoids the backlash and compliance that can come from belts, screws, or couplings, which helps the axis follow demanding motion profiles more closely.

The coil has an axial length of 99 mm, a width of 55 mm, and a height of 32.6 mm above the magnet way. Its copper-and-steel assembly has a coil mass of 0.62 kg, while the companion magnet rail adds 2.7 kg per meter to the installation, so moving mass and support structure both need to be considered during machine design. At 25 °C, the winding draws 2.1 Arms, has a DC resistance of 3.2 ohms, and an inductance of 9.1 mH. Under those steady-state conditions, it produces a continuous thrust of 57 N and rated mechanical power of 705 W, while heat is conducted through the mounting plate for fanless operation in many moderate-temperature applications.

For short acceleration periods, the armature can accept current pulses up to 7.9 Arms, which raise available force to 165 N for rapid indexing or higher payload acceleration. The back-EMF constant is 21.8 Vpk/m/s, so the drive must supply enough voltage as commanded speed increases and commutation remains stable across the travel range. Because this is an ironcore design, the motor also develops an attractive force of 0.53 kN toward the magnet track, and that load must be carried by the stage bearings and guide system. That magnetic pull should also be considered when setting air gap uniformity and structural stiffness, especially on axes that combine high speed with frequent direction changes.
