Terms and Expressions Used for the Linear Motor
In this manual, the term "Linear Motor" is defined as an OMRON product that consists of a Motor Coil
Unit (the coil on the primary side) and a Magnet Track (the magnets on the secondary side).
In addition to these components, constructing a Linear Motor system also requires the following parts,
which are built into a component called the "Linear Slider."
• Motor Coil Unit (the coil on the primary side)
• Magnet Track (the magnets on the secondary side)
• External encoder

• Linear guide

• Chassis
*1 Not available from OMRON.
Because a Linear Motor provides a linear movement, terms or expressions different from rotary motors
are used.
Example
Rotary
Torque [N·m]
Rotation speed [r/min]
Inertia [kg·m
However, for object names with respect to the CiA 402 Drive Profile and the terms used for the Safe
Torque OFF (STO) function, the manual uses the word "torque" for conformance with the relevant
standards.
Read "torque" as "force" when using these object names.
