Unimotion has recently rolled out their innovative linear motor, the LMCA, marking a significant advancement in the realm of automation technology. The LMCA series boasts a compact design which has garnered the prestigious 2022 German Design Award, attesting to its superior construction and aesthetic appeal.
Highly Efficient and Versatile
Unimotion’s linear motors are a modern addition to their sales program, introduced in 2021. These motors have been developed to deliver an exceptional price-performance ratio, featuring a force density that is 30–50% higher than competitors, alongside a notably low cogging force. This makes them ideal for a myriad of applications including actuators, robotic systems, XYZ tables, positioning systems, assembly lines, tool machines, P&P machines, and fiber optic machines.
Customizable and Maintenance-Free
The LMCA is available in three sizes (30, 60, 90) and four versions (S, M, L, XL), each designed to meet different operational needs. The smallest LMCA 30 is perfect for light payloads requiring high speeds and accelerations, while the largest, LMCA 90, caters to applications demanding significant axial force. Notably, these motors eliminate the need for converting rotational to linear movement, enhancing compactness, accuracy, and reliability. They are touted as ideal substitutes for pneumatic, hydraulic, belt, and ball screw drives.
Technologically Advanced Features
Each motor size offers two speed types to accommodate varying operational demands, including a high-speed variant that is ideal for applications requiring greater speed or lower supply voltage. The motors also come equipped with two types of magnet plates. The innovative high-performance magnet plate boosts force density substantially, enhancing both continuous and peak forces by nearly 11% compared to the classic magnet plate.
Integrated Hall Effect Sensor
A standout feature of the LMCA series is the Hall sensor developed specifically for these motors. This sensor, combining analog and digital functionalities in one housing, offers unparalleled accuracy at an attractive price point. The digital sensor produces UVW signal outputs with a 120° phase shift, while the analog sensor emits sine and cosine signals, ideal for precise position control and motor commutation.
In conclusion, Unimotion’s linear motors are redefining efficiency and precision in automation technologies. Their robust design, coupled with high performance and a range of customizable features, makes them a prime choice in the ever-evolving landscape of industrial automation.
