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.

A Direct Drive Linear Motor for Every Application

Kollmorgen DDL motors offer the broadest selection of input power and force

density to meet your specific application requirements. The IC Ironcore DDL

series handles medium and high-voltage applications requiring peak force up

to 13.448 N. The ICD Ironcore Low Profile DDL is ideal for use in compact

applications. And the IL Ironless DDL offers zero cogging and exceptionally

light mass.
