The BLMFS5 series "flat" linear motors provide 25% more power, in an equivalent envelope, than competing models from other manufacturers. This is achieved through a proprietary manufacturing process and laminated iron-core design, and is based on Aerotech's extensive experience designing and manufacturing both "flat" and "U-channel" linear motors.

The moving forcer coil assembly for the BLMFS5 series contains Hall-effect devices and a thermal sensor, and is a compact, reinforced, ceramic-epoxy structure. The forcer utilizes steel laminations to produce more force for a given forcer coil length than traditional designs, providing higher performance with continuous force ratings to 377 N (85 lb) and peak force ratings to 1500 N (339 lb). This makes it ideal for high-speed, point-to-point motion applications that require high continuous and peak force ratings but require a low profile solution. In addition, the attraction force generated from the steel laminations can also be used as a bearing pre-load.

Offering high peak force in its standard configuration, BLMFS5 motors are available with higher-power magnets that can be used to increase output force. Aerotech has manufactured a variety of custom linear motors and can use this experience to customize a motor for your application.

BLMFS5 linear motors are ideal for any application requiring high levels of positioning resolution and accuracy in a low profile package. Aerotech's convenient stackable magnet tracks allow an easy solution for any travel length. The BLMFS5 linear motors are also ideal for clean-room use because they produce no particulates.

The BLMFS5 can be driven using standard Aerotech brushless amplifiers and controllers to provide a complete, integrated system. Controllers are available for one or up to 32 synchronized axes, in both PC-card and software-only models.
