3.1

Configuration options

Individual iron core coils can be coupled. This can be done on two separate
magnet tracks for gantry type applications or on a single magnet track to
yield more force.
This last option is especially interesting for cost reduction in long stroke
applications.
By coupling two coils a smaller series coil and magnet track can be used.
This will reduce the magnet track cost.

3.1.1 Magnet track length

This paragraph describes how to determine the required amount of mag-
net plates for an application. There are two ways to determine the required
amount.
The easiest way to determine the required number of magnet plates is to
add up the necessary stroke for the application and the length of the coil
unit. Please review the example for further information. This will provide
the minimum magnet track length that needs to be constructed with the
available magnet plate sizes. Please refer to
the available length per series.
