Ironless motors are the latest addition to the UNIMOTION portfolio. LMLA linear motors represent a special version of linear motors without an iron core in their construction. The primary benefits of this construction of linear motors include extremely high precision, high dynamics, the absence of cogging force and no attractive force between the motor and the magnetic plate, which is present in linear motors with an iron core.

Linear motors without an iron core are available in both high and low-speed versions. The standout advantage of UNIMOTION ironless linear motors is the force density, which, due to their special design, is up to 25% higher than competing products.

Key benefits:
• High force density up to 25% higher compared to other competitors on the market
• Zero cogging force
• High and low-speed versions (up to 225% increased speed of high-speed version versus low-speed version)
• Hall sensor with built-in analog and digital sensors
• Four ironless motor sizes with up to five versions
• Magnet plates in three different sizes
Four ironless motor sizes and up to six versions are offered, each in low and high speed options:
LMLA 14 – 02,04,06
LMLA 21 – 02,04,06,08
LMLA 28 – 02,04,06,08,12
LMLA 38 – 02,04,06,09,12

Configure a linear motor system to meet specific requirements

Ironless motors can be easily configured through the step-by-step configuration tool available from UNIMOTION. The integrated 3D model generation solution provides an instant preview of a selected motor design. Additionally, the final 3D configuration can be downloaded in over 100 native formats.
