New Product Lines Represented....
Linmot LinMot technology was developed as
part of a collaborative research project between Sulzer Corporation and
Zurich Polytechnic University commencing in 1994. The first industrial
products were launched at the Hanover Fair in March 1997. LinMot P is a family of highly dynamic electro-magnetic direct drives. Acceleration rates of over 200 m/s2 make cyclic movement at several Hertz possible. The fully integrated position sensors and bearings as well as its solid construction make LinMot P a novel industrial motion control element. For the user, the linear motor consists of just two parts: the fixed stator and the moveable slider. These two parts are not connected by slip rings or by cables. In principal, since the LinMot P performs the linear stroke directly without the use of mechanical gears, belts or ball screws, there is no wear or mechanical play. Novel machine constructions are made possible since, when using LinMot P linear motors, linear motion can be implemented decentrally on the basis of programmable single-function units. LinMot P linear motors are typically used in applications where fast setting, lifting and sliding movements are necessary, as found in mounting, packing, textile and handling machines . Alongside complex servo applications, LinMot P drives can be used as an alternative to conventional pneumatic cylinders. Independence of compressed air and easy positionability lead, depending on the application, to lower system and operational costs.
