Product Description
Motion control is a cutting-edge, constantly changing, and intensive technology. Motion control technology increases machine productivity, reliability, product uniformity, and ultimately customer satisfaction while reducing manufacturing costs. All the previous is mainly possible due to one big turning point - the introduction of computers to the factory floor. This allowed replacing the functions of countless relays, cam timers, and drum sequences with a singular programmable logic controller (PLC). Now, programmable logic controllers are encountered everywhere throughout the plant in familiar cases, allowing engineers to modularize applications, and purchase only the needed parts.
This development is peaking throughout the last three decades and ensures stable constant growth, owing to companies that recognized trends and reacted on time. These companies are now leading players, not only in industrial automation, moreover in medicine, biotech, food & beverages, packaging, aerospace - all the way to consumer electronics.
A part of this group is also the Kollmorgen Corporation with its selection of ironcore and ironless motors. The IC22100A2TRC1 is an IronCore direct drive linear motor IC 22 series, 100 mm width, A2 winding designation terminated with 16’’ motor cable and thermal cable with flying leads. A thermistor is integrated as thermal protection. Linear motors have few components, so there’s no need for ball screw components such as nuts, bearing blocks, couplings or motor mounts.
Some important values for this motor are peak force 2500 N, continuous force 1198 N, peak current 22.0 Arms, continuous current 9.5 Arms, and force constant 126 N/Arms. Magnetic type is MC100 of mass 12.7 kg/m.
Once, the IC22100A2TRC1 linear motor is operating, there’s no need for lubrification or any type of maintenance.
With the IC22100A2TRC1 motor incorporated in a production process, benefits are countless. Undemanding, but abundant in the output of high performance, accuracy, speed, and adaptability.
