The iron-core linear motors used in the LINEAX stages have a high motor constant (Km) resulting in an unsurpassed thermally and electrically efficient design (low thermal and power losses). The motor is comprised of wound copper coils embedded in slots of an iron lamination stack. It moves over a single row of magnets, maximizing the flux to generate high linear forces. The intrinsic cogging of the motor is less than 1% of the peak force available, much of which is minimized by sinusoidal commutation and the use of a high-resolution encoder.
