Introduction
Using This Manual This motor manual is designed to help you install, integrate and start-up your
new Anorad Linear Motor. You do not have to be an expert in motion control.
However, this manual does assume you have a fundamental understanding of
basic electronics, mechanics, as well as motion control concepts and applicable
safety procedures.
The intent of this manual is to assist the user in the mechanical and electrical
installation of the Anorad LC Series Linear Motor.
Read this entire manual before you attempt to install your linear motor into
your motion system. Doing so will familiarize you with the linear motor
components and their relationship to each other and the system
After installation, check all system parameters to insure you have configured
your linear motor into your motion system properly.
Be sure to follow all instructions carefully and lastly but foremost pay special
attention to safety concerns.
Product Description General
The LC Linear Motor Series is described in this section. Product features are
explored and the part numbering system is explained. This basic information
will help you develop an understanding of the linear motor’s basic
configuration. This configuration information is then used as the fundamental
understanding required to guide you through the rest of this manual.
Product Line Description
Anorad's LC Series of steel core linear motors represents the most advanced
linear motor technology available. The LC linear motor utilizes a unique patent
pending laminated steel core design. Coupled with the latest magnetic
materials and optimized by Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a very high force
density is achieved. The LC Linear Motors ares available in models with
continuous forces from 84.5 N to 5658 N, (19 lbf to 1272 lbf), and peak forces
from 195.7N to 9314 N, (44 lbf to 2094 lbf). Other frame sizes are available
with higher forces.
