Stainless Steel Linear Motors and Linear Modules

LinMot stainless steel products offer the highest level of hygiene. The compact linear motors and guides as well as the linear modules and grippers are designed for demanding environments and are made of stainless steel EN 1.4404/AISI 316. The motors are designed without unnecessary edges, corners, holes and screw connections to prevent dirt accumulation. They can be used in food or pharmaceutical processing systems. Here they can easily withstand extremely harsh or corrosive conditions and can be cleaned with all standard industrial detergents.
The windings of the linear motors are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin, protecting the copper filling and the stator pack from condensation and corrosion. Thanks to the high degree of sealing, they meet the IP69K protection class according to DIN EN 60529. The special plastic bearings ensure easy cleaning and significant time savings in wash-down applications. In addition, the actuators are ideally suited for in-place cleaning processes such as CIP and SIP.
For temperature monitoring, all linear motors are fitted with sensors that transmit data to the drive. The data can be evaluated in the PLC so that the motor can be kept within a constant temperature range depending on the process (e.g. food such as fish). As an option, LinMot offers integrated water cooling for low surface temperatures on some motor types, resulting in higher performance with reduced germ formation.
