LMFA Series
LMFA Series Water-Cooled Iron-Core Linear Motor
- Type
- Iron-core forcer + magnet stator, water cooled
- Models
- 25 (each also as L low back-EMF winding)
- Continuous Force (WC)
- 149 - 7,917 N
- Peak Force (1 s)
- 282 - 20,827 N
HIWIN synchronous linear motors LMFA are coiled stack of sheets with water-cooling loop. They are especially distinguished by very high power density and minimum cogging force. This three-phase motor is composed of a primary part (forcer) with iron core and secondary part (stator) with permanent magnets. With the combination of several stators, many stroke combinations are possible.
Without the water-cooling loop, the LMSA series covers the same iron-core construction for standard duty cycles. View LMSA Series →

Models
Model digits encode forcer width (0-6) and length (1-4): an LMFA31 is a 141 mm wide, 214 mm long forcer. Continuous force figures are the water-cooled (WC) rating at the catalog's minimum flow rate; without cooling water the catalog's Fc column is about half. Every model also ships as an L low back-EMF winding with the same force ratings at higher speed.

Windings
Same forcer, two winding tunes; force ratings are identical.
- — Standard — Force-constant optimized
- L Low back-EMF — Higher speed at the same bus voltage
Cooling
Water cooling is built in; a bolt-on precision stage is optional.
- WC Built-in water circuit — 3.3-7.8 L/min at 20 °C doubles the continuous force
- LMFC Precision cooling system — Dual reflux jacket holds the motor surface temperature
Stators (LMF)
Magnet tracks chain end to end to build the stroke.
- S / C Standard or customized — Widths 58-334 mm matched to the forcer
- 1-3 Segment lengths — 120 / 180 / 300 mm (LMF0-2), 184 / 276 / 460 mm (LMF3-5), 184 mm (LMF6)
- EP Magnet package — EP epoxy, or blank for cover plate
Protection
- PTC 1× Pt1000 + 3× PTC SNM120 in series — In-winding protection to the 120 °C limit
