Siemens Introduces New Linear Motor For Machine Tool Applications At IMTS 2008
CHICAGO– Siemens today announced the introduction of a new line of synchronous, brushless linear motors known as the 1FN6 series. These motors are unique to the industry featuring a magnet-free secondary track system and an air-cooled primary section. Combined with the Siemens SINAMICS or SIMODRIVE drive systems, these new motors will produce thrust forces and velocities equivalent to competitive models for light-duty machine tool, machine accessory and material handling applications.
