Van Nuys, CA – Motion Control Components – Moticont has added two linear motors to it’s SDLM Series of high speed direct drive linear motors which are also know as Electric Cylinders. These compact drives with a 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) stroke are just 1.00 in. (25.4 mm) in diameter and 3.75 in. (95.3 mm) long. These direct drive linear motors feature resolutions of 5 µm (0.000197 in.) and 1.25 µm (0.000049 in.) The integral, linear optical quadrature encoder is directly connect to the shaft for the greatest possible accuracy. Each motor features a continuous force rating of 20.1oz. (5.82 N) and a peak force of 66.3 oz (18.4 N). Applications for these SDLM Direct Drive Linear Motors include: Inspection, antenna positioning, medical procedure tables, semiconductor handling, sampling, manufacturing and assembly, laser machining, scanning, adjustable office furniture, dampers, door & valve actuators, and agricultural equipment.

The non-commutating SDLM-025-095-01-05 (5 µm resolution) and the SDLM-025-095-01-01 (1.25 µm resolution) Direct Drive Linear Motors have quiet long life plain linear bearings, a non-rotating shaft, pre-drilled and tapped mounting holes, and threaded (internal) ends of the shaft for easy integration into new and existing applications. These low cost direct drive motors are coupled directly to the load providing high acceleration and speed with zero cogging and no backlash as with other drive systems such as ball screws, gear, and rack and pinion drives.

The SDLM-025-095-01-05 and SDLM-025-095-01-01 Direct Drive Linear Actuators are also available as a complete plug-and-play linear motion system with a matching motion controller
