Product Description:

The MCD1000256001 magnetic way is produced by Kollmorgen for the ICD Ironcore Direct Drives series. This component forms the stationary track against which the iron-core coil assembly develops linear thrust, allowing servo-grade positioning in automated packaging lines, machine tools, and semiconductor stages. By supplying a continuous field of permanent magnets along its length, the way converts drive current into controlled force while preserving the repeatability required in multi-axis systems. It is intended to be bolted to a machine base or support rail where tight dimensional control and low-profile installation are necessary.

The base thickness is 4.0 mm, giving the plate sufficient stiffness for spans set by the mounting pitch. The recessed fasteners sit in counterbores that are 1.6 mm deep and 8.3 mm in diameter, eliminating raised hardware that could interfere with the moving coil. A protective cover of stainless steel shields the magnet faces from chips and coolant so magnetic performance is maintained over time. The inner guide channel is 115.0 mm wide to clear the standard ICD carriage, and the locating pins are spaced at 242.0 mm to align each segment precisely with adjoining sections during installation.

The segment has a linear density of 7.04 kg/m, which must be considered when sizing cable carriers and support rails, especially in overhead or gantry layouts. A total of 8 mounting holes accept fasteners through a clear bore of 4.7 mm, and the holes repeat on a 64.0 mm pitch so clamping forces are distributed evenly along the 255.3 mm overall length. Combined with an overall width of 125.0 mm and a height of 8.25 mm, this mounting pattern helps limit deflection under dynamic loading. The two locating pins register each plate so the full track can maintain straightness without time-consuming field shimming.
