The linear drives feature an integrated feedback system – a scanning head and a scale tape – to form a new type of functional unit. One Cable Technology enables signal transmission directly via the periphery of the motor. As a result, only one cable is required for the power supply, the feedback system and the thermal sensor. This not only reduces the wiring to the control cabinet, but also enables extremely simple commissioning via the electronic nameplate, which contains all the relevant motor parameters. The scanning head is also pre-aligned and directly coupled to the coil unit, eliminating time-consuming assembly and alignment procedures for the feedback system. The linear motors are available for both the 400 V (AL8000) and 48 V (AL8100) ranges. When combined with the ELM72xx servo terminals, the AL8100 therefore offers a complete linear motor solution for the low-voltage range for the very first time.
