I-FORCE Ironless Motor Positioners

Parker Trilogy’s I-Force Ironless Motor Positioners utilize our high performance I-Force ironless linear motors in a pre-engineered, easily integrated, ready-to-run package. The principal design goal for these positioners is to achieve high performance at an economical cost while preserving the design flexibility to accommodate customization.

• I -Ironless design for maximum efficiency, patented, RE34674
• Six different product series with configurable options for “best fit” linear motor solution
• Single or dual bearing rail positioners to match the performance and cost requirements
• Accelerations to 6g’s, speeds to 5 m/s
• Precision Ground Aluminum or Steel Base for high accuracy
• Standard Travel lengths up to 3 meters with easy customization
• High quality bearings for maximum life, load and speed
• Internal thermal cutout switch protects coil
• Magnetic or optical encoder options with resolutions to 0.1 micron
• Over travel limits and home sensor
• Integral high flex cable
• Cable track options accommodate customer payload tubes and cables along with motor and encoder cables
• Multi-Axis configurations available
• Dual rail positioners have bellows as a standard option

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 Motor Positioners 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
