Nippon Pulse Introduces Scaleless Linear Motor with Built-in Encoder

Nippon Pulse worked with Siko Products to create a design that integrates the industry’s first non-analog magnetic linear encoder into a linear motor.

Nippon Pulse (Radford, VA) has released the SL083, a new scaleless linear motor with a built-in linear encoder. Features include:

  • Up to 5 µm in resolution and repeat accuracy.
  • A simple design with just two parts: a tubular stainless steel shaft, and a non-contact forcer.
  • Simple installation and configuration.
  • No variation in the force (no lubrication, and a non-critical air gap).
  • A non-magnetic aluminum housing.
  • A built-in encoder (read below).
  • A built-in interpolator.
  • Hall sensors.
  • Real-time single processing and high dynamics with no residual force.
  • A max speed of 4 meters per second.

The SL083 simplifies the integration of a linear motor into applications, as it can utilize existing bearings in order to become an actuator. Siko’s true encoder allows the SL083 to provide a smooth sinusoidal motion profile.
