BLMUC Series Linear Motors
The BLMUC linear motor is an ultra-compact “U-channel” motor measuring only 52.0 mm x 20.8 mm in cross section. Designed to provide high force in an ultra-compact package, the BLMUC is ideally suited for small load applications with tight space constraints such as a pick head on a pick-and-place machine, and low-mass, high-acceleration material handling machines.

Design Features
- Ultra-compact size for tight space constraints; 52.0 mm x 20.8 mm cross section
- Continuous force to 58.0 N (13.0 lb); peak force to 231.8 N (52.1 lb)
- Non-magnetic forcer provides high force with zero cogging for super-smooth velocity and position control
- Ideal for pick-and-place machines where Z-axis space is limited
- CE approved, follows the EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive
The motor consists of a noncontact forcer assembly with Hall-effect devices, thermal sensor and “U-channel” magnet track. This design eliminates backlash, windup, wear and maintenance issues associated with ball screws, belts, and rack and pinions.
The forcer assembly is a compact, reinforced ceramic epoxy structure. The ironless design eliminates cogging and eddy-current losses that otherwise would limit speed and produce additional heat. To produce the highest rms force, air cooling is standard.
These linear motors are ideal for any application that requires high levels of positioning resolution and accuracy. BLMUC series linear motors are forgiving to align, easy to assemble, and keep the magnetic field well-contained. Magnet tracks are stackable for any travel length. They are also suited for cleanroom use as they produce no particulates.
The BLMUC can be driven using standard Aerotech brushless amplifiers and controllers to provide a complete integrated system.

Integration (Required)
Aerotech offers both standard and custom integration services to help you get your system fully operational as quickly as possible. The following standard integration options are available for this system. Please consult Aerotech if you are unsure what level of integration is required, or if you desire custom integration support with your system.
| Option | Description |
| -TAS | Integration - Test as system Testing, integration, and documentation of a group of components as a complete system that will be used together (ex: drive, controller, and stage). This includes parameter file generation, system tuning, and documentation of the system configuration. |
| -TAC | Integration - Test as components Testing and integration of individual items as discrete components that ship together. This is typically used for spare parts, replacement parts, or items that will not be used together. These components may or may not be part of a larger system. |
