Iron core linear motor

The rare earths in permanent magnet motors require a major investment.

In order to reduce costs while maintaining high performance, Tecnotion (a specialist in linear motors, distributed in Italy by Servotecnica) has designed the TM18 iron core motor. With performance comparable to larger magnet motors, the TM18 is nonetheless more economical, requiring no large, costly magnetic plates. It also covers applications that require performance levels that until now were only possible using larger motors.

TM18 is 336 mm long and guarantees a continuous force of 360N and a peak force of 720N. Tecnotion also offers the possibility of coupling the two motors on the same magnetic track, increasing the available continuous power to 720N. This performance is achieved in spite of highly compact dimensions: the total height of the motor and magnet plate is just 40 mm, with a width of just 50 mm. Moreover, this solution can reach a speed of 10 m/s.
The sum of all these characteristics makes the new linear motor by Tecnotion extremely advantageous in many fields of application, for example in industrial printers, machine tools and cutting systems.
