L3S and L3SK Linear Motors

AIR-COOLED (L3S) AND LIQUID-COOLED (L3SK) FLAT LINEAR MOTORS

The Moog air-cooled L3S and liquid-cooled L3SK flat linear motors are designed for highly dynamic applications. L3S and L3SK motors are three-phase, synchronous, linear iron core motors, which are supplied in the form of active parts (built-in motors). Their primary part is formed by a ferromagnetic stack, composed of laminations and a three-phase winding inserted into its slots. This primary part is excited by permanent magnets in the secondary part, which are placed in a standard, static arrangement and used as a magnet way.

Both the L3S motor series and its liquid-cooled variant, the L3SK, offer some of the largest power ranges in the industry, with standard models delivering continuous rated force values ranging from 150 to 7,500 N for the L3S series and 300 to 12,000 N for the L3SK series, when using water as a cooling agent. Additionally, the air-cooled L3S series can be loaded with forces and currents substantially higher than those produced at nominal speeds. In comparison, the liquid-cooled L3SK series has almost double the force and output power of its air-cooled counterpart (L3S), although the dimensions remain the same. Yet another advantage of the L3SK series is its ability to operate at higher ambient temperatures.
