LMC Series
LMC Series Coreless Linear Motors
- Type
- Coreless forcer + U-shaped magnet stator
- Models
- 46 forcers on 7 stator heights (LMCA - LMC-HUB)
- Continuous Force
- 12 - 684 N
- Peak Force (1 s)
- 48 - 2,736 N
HIWIN synchronous linear motors LMC are the born sprinters. They are light and extremely dynamic. This is due to their coreless primary part (forcer) with epoxy cast coils: it needs to move very little of its own weight. The secondary part is composed of a U-shaped stator made of permanent magnets.
Need maximum force density instead of the lightest forcer? The iron-core LMSA trades some smoothness for 4,458 N peak force. View LMSA Series →

Models
The letter after LMC picks the frame: A, B and C forcers run in 32 mm pole-pair-pitch tracks 60, 80 and 103 mm tall, D, E and F in 60 mm pitch tracks 86.8, 106.8 and 131.3 mm tall, and HUB is the 41.5 mm miniature frame. The final character is the forcer length within its frame (1 through 8, then A and C for the longest coils). LMC is coreless, so there is no attraction-force column: attraction between forcer and stator is zero. Height is the magnet track (stator) height from the order code.
