We offer various families of ironless and ironcore linear motors in kit form (magnet track and coil unit). Our manufacturing partner Akribis is one of the largest linear motor manufacturers in the world and has been the market leader in Asia with its linear motors since 2016. The linear motors consist of motor coils and magnetic rails, and offer unparalleled advantages and features to improve system performance and efficiency:
We offer in our portfolio different sizes and types of linear motors in a force range from 3N to 16,000N, as well as different cooling options such as natural convection, air and water cooling. In the remainder of this page, you can find more information about the various families available.

The AUM series belongs to the ironless linear motors. Due to the use of ironless technology, the linear motor does not generate any cogging force, and in combination with its low weight, optimal synchronization as well as highest dynamics are achieved.
Typical applications and industries for ironless linear motors are high precision axes in combination with air bearings for optical systems as well as dynamic equipment used for example in microelectronics.

The ACR series belongs to the series of ironless linear motors. The technology of ironless linear motors is characterized by no cogging force and low intrinsic mass, which achieves optimum synchronization and maximum dynamics. Characteristic of the ACR series is the curved design, it can be assembled either as a limited angle or 360° movement. Typical applications are rotary table applications with very low overall height and large hollow shaft.

For tasks such as positioning with micrometer or nanometer accuracy, or for tasks such as traversing at creep speed (high speed constancy required despite variable rotational resistance of the mechanics) , freedom from cogging is a must for linear motors. However, this is by far not sufficient to achieve the task objective. Further requirements are: a high-resolution displacement encoder and a linear servo amplifier (i.e., non-switching servo amplifier or servo controller or servo inverter). In the field of high-resolution position measuring systems we offer optical position measuring systems. You can find an overview here. As linear servo amplifier we offer our own product of the LWM family. You can find more information here. Most servo amplifiers are clocking i.e. use pulse width modulation (i.e. chopping the voltage) to set the desired current. However, clocking results in current ripple (i.e. superimposed AC current). Current ripple, in turn, leads to power ripple.
It is precisely this ripple that makes it more difficult to successfully commission demanding servo tasks such as micrometer or nanometer precision positioning, or in tasks such as traversing at creep speed. The last and perhaps most important success factor is the experience of a commissioning engineer who has often commissioned such complex systems. MACCON offers exactly such engineering services. We have helped many customers in the semiconductor, optics, laser and space industries to succeed with our wealth of experience.
