Choose Your Optimum Linear Motor Design

The IC Ironcore DDL is our most powerful, versatile model, ideal for moving

heavy loads quickly or for accommodating global applications at 230/400/480

bus voltages without the need for transformers. The ICD Ironcore Low Profile

DDL offers outstanding force density, allowing you to design the most compact,

lightweight applications. And the IL Ironless DDL offers zero-cogging performance

for applications that require very low bearing friction, high acceleration of lighter

loads and smooth operation even at ultra-low speeds.

Features

•Ideal for accelerating and moving low to very high masses — greatest rated thrust

force per size

•Suitable for global markets — 230/400/480 VAC bus voltage for IC Ironcore DDL

•Very smooth velocity with high positional accuracy — zero backlash or compliance,

maintaining the stiffness required for machining and other process forces

•Zero maintenance — eliminates lubrication and wear of ball screws, gearboxes,

rack and pinions, or belts and pulleys

•Simple, compact mechanical assembly — high force density in a minimal form factor

with a greatly reduced total parts countKollmorgen Direct Drive Linear Motors

DDL motors drive linear loads directly, eliminating the need for couplings,

belts, ball/lead screws, rack & pinion gears or other backlash-prone,

maintenance-intensive transmission components. Using direct drive linear

motors, your machine can be simpler to design, faster and more precise

in operation, quieter and more reliable — without the need for complicated

parts that require constant lubrication and eventually wear out.

Pair your DDL motor with an AKD or AKD2G servo drive for industry-leading

power density, flexible communication options and optional functional

safety capabilities.
