The BLMFS5 series "flat"
linear motors provide 25% more power, in an equivalent envelope, than competing
models from other manufacturers. This is achieved through a proprietary manufacturing
process and laminated iron-core design, and is based on Aerotech's extensive
experience designing and manufacturing both "flat" and "U-channel"
linear motors.
The moving forcer coil assembly
for the BLMFS5 series contains Hall-effect devices and a thermal sensor, and
is a compact, reinforced, ceramic-epoxy structure. The forcer utilizes steel
laminations to produce more force for a given forcer coil length than traditional
designs, providing higher performance with continuous force ratings to 377 N
(85 lb) and peak force ratings to 1500 N (339 lb). This makes it ideal for high-speed,
point-to-point motion applications that require high continuous and peak force
ratings but require a low profile solution. In addition, the attraction force
generated from the steel laminations can also be used as a bearing pre-load.
Offering high peak force in its
standard configuration, BLMFS5 motors are available with higher-power magnets
that can be used to increase output force. Aerotech has manufactured a variety
of custom linear motors and can use this experience to customize a motor for
your application.
BLMFS5 linear motors are
ideal for any application requiring high levels of positioning resolution and
accuracy in a low profile package. Aerotech's convenient stackable magnet tracks
allow an easy solution for any travel length. The BLMFS5 linear motors are also
ideal for clean-room use because they produce no particulates.
The BLMFS5 can be driven using standard
Aerotech brushless amplifiers and controllers to provide a complete, integrated
system. Controllers are available for one or up to 32 synchronized axes, in
both PC-card and software-only models.
