Akribis Systems has announced a new addition to its varied motion control product line: RDM-A Series rod motors for space-constrained applications requiring high motor forces and smooth linear motion.

RDM-A Series rod motors are compact in size and feature a tubular design to distribute magnetic flux evenly along the circumference of the stator. With this approach, they achieve continuous forces from 2.1 N to 137.8 N and peak forces from 6.2 N to 413.4 N. An air gap between the coil and magnet track enables non-contact axial linear movement and steady force production over the length of the stroke, and ironless construction ensures cog-free motion. The result: high motor forces, smooth motion, efficiency and precision.

A multi-mover option allows single motor control over multiple movers on one track to simplify complex, multi-axis applications. Space-constrained systems and applications requiring higher forces and efficiency than possible with conventional linear motors and actuators can benefit from RDM-A rod-type motors. Examples include high-speed printers, biomedical equipment, semiconductor equipment, CNC and wire cut EDM machines, z-axis pick and place modules in robotics and many single-, multi-axis or counterpoint platform applications.
