3.4.1 Motor components
Naturally cooled SIMOTICS L‑1FN3 linear motors are built-in permanent magnet synchronous
motors for linear motion.
The motor is delivered in components (at least one primary section and secondary sections)
and installed directly in the machine.
An encoder is also required for a complete drive unit.
Primary sections connected in series multiply the motor force.
The length of the linear traversing distance is obtained from the number of secondary
sections linked in series.
The type spectrum of these motors encompasses 3 dierent sizes (widths) in up to 3 dierent
lengths.
