Akribis – RDM-A Series – Rod Motor
The RDM-A rod motor delivers exceptionally high motor forces, efficiency and precision in a compact size with a similar footprint as a traditional ballscrew module. Thanks to its tubular design, which distributes magnetic flux evenly along the circumference of the stator, the RDM-A achieves continuous motor forces from 2.1 to 137.8 N and peak forces from 6.2 to 413.4 N. An air gap between the coil and magnet track enables non-contact axial linear movement and steady force production over the length of the stroke, and ironless construction ensures cog-free motion. A multi-mover option allows single motor control over multiple movers on one track to simplify complex, multi-axis applications.
