MMF3 Series Magnetic-Free Track Linear Motor from Motion Control Products Ltd (MCP) takes a novel approach by utilising magnetic field modulation technology, thereby eliminating the need for magnets in the platen. This innovation results in significant cost savings, particularly for applications requiring long platen lengths that would otherwise necessitate large quantities of rare-earth materials.

Advantages, Features, and Benefits of Magnetic-Free Track Linear Motors

By optimising the interaction between the forcer and platen, the MMF3 delivers impressive performance:

• Continuous force up to 495 N, with peak force reaching 1,527 N
• Maximum speeds of 12.8 m/s (or 18.2 m/s at lower force levels)
• Motor efficiency exceeding 90%

Key advantages include:

• Enhanced operator safety – no magnetic field in the stator means easier and safer assembly
• Extended lifespan – low cogging force and friction contribute to greater durability
• Reduced EMI – minimised electromagnetic interference improves performance in sensitive environments
• Improved forcer protection – magnetic-free design reduces particle build-up
• Cost efficiency – lower reliance on rare-earth magnets leads to more sustainable and economical systems

Alongside the MMF3 Series, MCP also offers MMD Linear Motor Modules, available in four base widths. These modules feature high integration, precision, speed, safety, and ease of maintenance, making them well-suited for:

• 3C industry
• LCD panel production
• Photovoltaic manufacturing
• Medical equipment applications

MMD modules are ideal for long-travel applications and environments sensitive to magnetic fields, providing seamless integration across industries.

MCP’s patented MMF3 magnetic-free linear motors and MMD motor modules represent a leap forward in efficiency, performance, and cost-effectiveness. By removing the limitations of conventional magnet-based designs, they open new opportunities in automation.
