The MM-Series is a range of inverted linear motors utilizing a fixed coil track and magnetic movers. The MM-Series breaks a long standing barrier of linear motion by allowing the movers to follow a curved track. The movers can be controlled individually or in groups and can move completely independent of each other. The design is completely modular, with components that can be mixed and matched to suit the needs of your application. With no parts touching each other and fixed cabling, the system is also completely maintenance free. It’s reliable, cost-effective, flexible and accurate. Its application possibilities are virtually endless.

Torque motors are permanent-magnet direct drive motors that rotate along an axis. They can be used wherever a rotary movement is required and offer numerous advantages over conventional servo drives. Our torque motors are extremely compact, provide an extremely stiff drive train, eliminate the need for time-consuming mounting procedures, are virtually maintenance free and can be integrated directly into the machine structure, while the spacious open inner diameter enables wire and cable feedthrough. To top things off the entire series comes with completely sealed stators and integrated temperature protection and measurement sensors. With continuous torque ratings ranging from 0.7 Nm to 40 Nm, these motors can play a pivotal role in increasing the availability and cost-effectiveness of many different applications in industries like: Semiconductor Printing Robotics Machine tooling

Designed and constructed with an iron core, these linear motors offer extremely high continuous force for their size, starting at 60N for the small TM, all the way up to 3000N for the water cooled TBW powerhouse. Peak forces are even higher, reaching up to 6000N. All this raw power comes in a surprisingly compact package. Its small footprint, modular design and high force density enable very flexible application designs. The ability to string multiple motors together, either in series or parallel, widens its range of applications even further. Examples of application areas that benefit from the Iron Core series' specific qualities include: Semiconductor Printing Laser /waterjet cutting Machine tooling Inspection stages Pick & place applications Medical / life science / lab automation Factory automation / handling Electronics Solar

In contrast to iron core motors, these motors feature an ironless coil unit, so there is no attraction force or cogging between the coil unit and the magnet track. This is what gives ironless motors their light weight, superior precision, a linear force constant and extremely dynamic velocity, acceleration and deceleration. Continuous force ranges from 10N all the way up to 846N with peak force of up to 4200N. The benefits of ironless linear motors are optimal for applications that require small masses to be moved with maximum precision at a high cycle speed, especially in areas like: Semiconductor Flat Panel Display Inspection stages Ultra precision stages Medical / life science / lab automation Optics

A direct sibling of our U-series, these vacuum rated ironless motors feature specifically designed coil units and magnet yokes for use in high vacuum, down to 10-8 mBar.
