New linear servo motors deliver reliability

The Allen-Bradley LDC-Series and LDL-Series of linear servo motors from Rockwell Automation provide machine builders with precise, reliable linear motion capabilities at a cost-effective price-point. With no ‘wear items’, such as bearings, gears and belts that routinely need to be maintained or replaced, the new linear motors feature improved reliability over other linear actuation methods.

The LDC-Series and LDL-Series of linear motors provide excellent servo responsiveness, resulting in faster settling time for individual moves, which in turn results in increased machine throughput, improved precision and reduced production waste. Unlike pneumatic or hydraulic solutions, the Allen-Bradley linear motors have the flexibility to maintain quicker movement while handling multiple motion profiles to increase machine capabilities.

With the ability to size and optimise the Allen-Bradley linear motors and corresponding servo drives using Motion Analyser software from Rockwell Automation, machine builders can reduce product selection time and minimise cost. Full setup and programming support through Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000 software further helps to reduce setup time, making commissioning faster and easier.

The LDC-Series and LDL-Series linear motors are a practical, cost-effective choice for a wide range of machine applications, including packaging, on-the-fly inspection, shape cutting, dispensing, materials handling, flat and solar panel scribing, and pick-and-place machines.
