Where Do We Start?
We generally start with a customer needing
something because he or she has an
application.
Let’s look at a simple example application.
LinMot Numbering System
#3
Example Application
The customer tells us that the required stroke is 220 millimeter
(mm).
In order choose the right equipment, the first thing we need to
know is the stroke length – which is 220 mm.
To select a motor, we need to know the LinMot numbering
system.

The LinMot Numbering Scheme
A Typical Motor Number
P01-37x240F/260x460-C
This “Motor” number represents a
combination of a stator and a slider, however,
the stator and slider each have their own part
number and must be ordered separately.
Lets take a look in detail.

#5
Motor Parts
A “Motor” consists of a “Stator” and a “Slider”

A
B
C
D
A – “P01” isn’t useful. Forget about it.
B – “37x240F” This part of the number
describes the Stator.
C – “260x460” This part of the number
describes the Slider.
D – “C” This part of the number describes
the connector on the Stator. It is often
omitted if the connector is standard.

stator
“37” technically means that the stator has a 37mm
diameter. It can also be thought of as the “Series” of
the Stator. There are three series of stators:



23 series or 23mm (and also the 23S)
37 series or 37mm
48 series (new) or 48mm
“240” means that there are approximately 240mm of
coils in the stator.

More coils, more force
“F” means a fast winding. It is omitted if the winding
is standard.



R-series (9-pin) IP67 connector mounted on Stator
Fast winding
PS01-23x160H-HP-R (High Performance)

High performance motors use stronger magnets in
the slider and higher temp plastic in the stator
PS01-23x160H-HP-R20 (High Performance)
Use the “F” or “HP” motors unless there’s a
reason to use the standard winding.

That’s It For Stators
Any questions about the numbering system?
Let’s move on to Sliders.

slider
“260” is the “Shortened Stroke” or Peak Force
Stroke or “Sweet Spot”. This means that you
can get full force for 260mm of stroke.
“460” is the “Max Stroke”. This means that
you can get some force for 460mm of stroke.
It’s important to know where the Shortened
Stroke and Max Stroke are!
Lets look at page 140 in the catalog.

Slider PL01-20x600/520
This is the description of the slider itself.
“20” is the diameter of the slider in mm.

A 20mm slider works in a 37mm stator
“600” is the length of the slider in mm.

If a customer says “Hey, I’ve got a slider and I
don’t know what it is”, he can measure it and we
can determine the part # by using this number
“520” is the approximate length of the
magnet stack in mm.
LinMot Numbering System
# 22
Remember Our Example?
The required stroke is
220mm.
The motor we just looked at (P01-37x240/260x460)
has a shortened stroke of 260mm. The next smaller
motor is a P01-37x240/160x360, so the P0137x240/260x460 is the best choice.
To start with, pick a motor that has a shortened
stroke as long as or longer than the application.

But There’s More To It Than
That, Isn’t there?
Yes, there is. There’s force… and time… and
mounting position.
We’ll look at that in detail during the course
on the LinMot Designer sizing software
