Typical installation situation of a linear motor
Linear motors are built-in motors. The following figure shows a typical installation situation.
Figure 5-18
Attraction force
The attraction force between the primary section and the secondary section track can be
several 10 kN. You can find more details on this attraction force F
Note
The mechanical construction must be suitably stiff so that the functionality of the installed
motor is not impaired and to avoid direct contact between the primary section and the
secondary section.
As the air gap decreases, the forces of attraction between the primary section and the
secondary section track increase strongly!
