Parker I-Force Ironless ML18 Linear Motor

The Newest (and Smallest) Member to the I-Force Ironless Linear Motor Family

The ML18 is the newest addition to Parker’s family of Ironless Linear Motors. At a height of 35 mm and width of 18 mm, the ML18 offers a more compact solution for your application needs. Three coil lengths are available providing a peak force up to 50.1 N, and are optimized to run on 24 to 80 volts DC.

The ML18 incorporates the I-Force I-beam shape with overlapping windings allowing for high power density, improved heat removal, and added structural stiffness.

In addition, the ironless linear motor design has no attractive forces allowing for zero cogging, rapid accelerations, and easy installation.

Ironless Advantages

• No attractive force between forcer and magnets make it safe and easy to install

• Ironless forcer produces zero cogging for smooth operation

• Ironless forcer means light weight and high rates of acceleration

• Air gap between forcer and magnets is forgiving allowing for easy installation

ML18 Features

• Smallest ironless motor available— saves valuable space

• Extremely efficient overlapping winding design for maximum force density

• Optimized for operation between 24 to 80 VDC

• Internal hall effects and thermal protection decreases carriage length

• Low profile, compact design — cross-section just 35 mm x 18 mm

• Peak forces to 50 N

• Single-piece, ultra-compact folded magnet track eliminates all unnecessary material

• Highly efficient mounting tabs for hassle-free mounting

• Two lengths of modular track provide unlimited travel, maximum flexibility

• CE and RoHS Compliance
