Announcing the Broadest Line of "U-channel" Brushless Linear Servomotors Available

Aerotech’s family of "U-channel" brushless linear servomotors includes the BLMUC, BLMC, BLM, BLMH, and BLMX series motors. Each series features a high-efficiency magnetic circuit design. Performance can be further enhanced with special magnet options to increase force or lower heat dissipation. A non-magnetic forcer eliminates cogging and magnetic attraction to allow extremely smooth motion and very tight velocity and position control.

The motors are direct drive and consist of only two non-contacting parts — a moving forcer coil and a "U-channel" rare earth magnet track. The forcer coil resides inside the "U-channel" magnet track. This design eliminates backlash, windup, wear and maintenance issues associated with ball screws, belts, and rack and pinions. Travel lengths are unlimited due to Aerotech’s unique "stackable" magnet track system with symmetrical mounting-hole pattern.

Continuous force ratings range from 36.5 to 74.3 newtons (8.2 to 16.7 pounds) for the ultra compact BLMUC series, up to as high as 1019 to 1183 newtons (229 to 266 pounds) for the BLMX series. Peak forces range from 147 to 297 newtons (33.0 to 66.8 pounds) for the BLMUC series, up to as high as 4075 to 4733 newtons (916 to 1064 pounds) for the BLMX series.

Custom versions of these motors are available. Aerotech also offers a complementary line of brushless amplifiers and high-performance motion controllers for a complete motion solution.
