I-FORCE Ironless Linear Motors

Parker’s I-Force Ironless Linear Motors offer high forces and rapid accelerations in a compact package. With forces ranging from 24.5 N (5.5 lbf) to 878.6 N (197.5 lbf) continuous up to 108.5 N (24.5 lbf) to 3928 N (883 lbf) peak, the I-Force family offers a superior combination of performance and size. The I-Force patented I-beam shape with its overlapping windings allows for a higher power density in a smaller motor, improved heat removal, and added structural stiffness.

• I-Force Ironless motor design for maximum efficiency, patented, RE34674
• Cross sections available, 2.05″ x 0.82″ up to 4.50″ x 2.00″
• Four product series (110, 210, 310, 410) with up to 6 different coil lengths
• I-Beam shape coil provides high force density and excellent thermal efficiency
• Internal air and liquid cooling manifold available
• Internal thermal cutout switch protects coil
• Prealigned imbedded digital HED’s
• Magnet tracks available as precision ground or lightweight formed and machined
• Two lengths of modular magnet tracks allow unlimited length of travel
• Vacuum encapsulation process allows motors to be used in high vacuums
• Peak accelerations up to 15g and speeds to 350 inches/sec

When starting a new linear servo motor project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum positioner for the job. They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the positioners perform as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost. They will also recommend the appropriate controllers and drives that will best fit the application.

This includes:

• Motor torque, speed, and inertia matching
• Ensuring compatibility with the motor drive and available power
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device, encoder (incremental vs. absolute), resolver, etc…
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc…
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified

When ordering I-FORCE Ironless Linear Motors as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
