ANCA Designs Tubular Motors for Maximizing Magnetic Flux
The LinX M-series linear motor features an integrated position sensor with 10um of resolution, eliminating the need for an external encoder.
With the tubular structure of its LinX motors, ANCA Motion maximizes
the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnets
contained in their stainless steel shaft. Employing the full shaft
surface for magnetic force, the motors provide several key benefits
over flat linear motors for a variety of automation applications.
The Australian company's LinX range of tubular linear motors
has its origins in tool grinding machines, but their features make
them a match for a range of automation applications including
packaging, food and beverage manufacturing, printing, pharmaceutical,
rollforming, textile production, and test and measurement.
ANCA Motion's sister company, ANCA CNC Machines,
introduced tubular linear motors in 2014 for its FX Linear and MX
Linear machines.
As a replacement to retrofit pneumatic cylinders, the LinX Mseries
motors are designed to be fully compatible with standard
pneumatics accessories, such as mounting plates, linear guides
and coupling pieces. Going from flatbed to tubular actuation
significantly improves thermal stability.
" Because the motor is floating in the machine structure, that
enables us to put a water-cooling jacket around the motor and
completely take the heat out of the motor, " according to Heng
Luo, product manager. " That's a vast advantage from a thermal
perspective compared to a flatbed. "
The motor consists of a shaft containing magnets and a forcer
containing wound copper coils. The symmetric design results
in zero attractive forces between the forcer and shaft, greatly
reducing the loading requirement on support bearings.
" The traditional linear motor is flat in construction, which creates
many issues when implementing these motors on machines, "
said Phillip Wysocki, electrical systems engineer. " Machines with
flatbed linear motors typically require a separate chiller for thermal
stability, and the attractive force between coil and magnet
bed creates tremendous downforces on the bearings, making
everything wear faster and decreasing efficiency. In addition,
flatbed style linear motors used in grinding machines typically
have a back-iron in their magnetic circuit, further increasing the
downforces and creating cogging. "
With the engineering head office in Australia and a global
presence in more than 40 countries worldwide, ANCA Motion
employs 100 staff of which 60 are based in Australia. For more
