Linear motors are ideal for fast and accurate motion in a machine.
Linmot, the leading manufacturer of cylindrical linear motors, has made them even more suitable for demanding products that require exceptional cleanliness in the production environment. This has always been demanding for machine designers, but has been made much easier by using the Linmot DM01 Linear motor modules.

Linmot, the leading manufacturer of cylindrical linear motors, has made them even more suitable for demanding products that require exceptional cleanliness in the production environment. This has always been demanding for machine designers, but has been made much easier by using the Linmot DM01 Linear motor modules.
The DM01 Linear modules provide high precision positioning while supporting high loading with the following features:
- Stroke up to 575mm and peak force up to 572N
- Direct load mounting up to 30kg
- Clean Design
- No Slider lubrication is required.
- Higher stiffness / lower bending
- Load balance (MagSpring) & pneumatic holding brake option
- Can be combined to form two-axis systems
Are available certified for Clean Room Applications.
Incredibly sensitive force control
The latest option that has just become available is the addition of a force sensor combined with force control software.
This is an option that can be added to any of the DM01 modules.
Just to demonstrate how sensitive, you can place an egg between two DM01 modules, one equipped with the new Force sensor.
One DM01 module moves with a programmed movement while the other follows while maintaining a precise 5 N force at all times to hold the egg without breaking it as shown in the picture.
Using a regular force sensor requires precision alignment or measurement error will occur.
Linmot’s special design provides excellent measurement accuracy even with axially offset loads or with side loading from an attached load (such as a gripper for example).
Here is a section through the sensor to show how the load is guided combined with the special design of the sensor itself.
