New Linear Servo Motors Provide Reliable, Cost-Effective, High Performance Linear Motion Capabilities

The new Allen-Bradley LDC-Series and LDL-Series linear servo motors provide machine builders with precise, highly reliable linear motion capabilities at a cost-effective price point. With ‘no-wear items’ that routinely need to be maintained or replaced, such as bearings, gears and belts, the new linear motors feature improved reliability over other linear actuation methods.


The LDC-Series and LDL-Series linear motors provide excellent servo responsiveness, resulting in faster settling time for any move which, in turn, results in increased machine throughput, improved precision and reduced production waste. Unlike pneumatic or hydraulic solutions, Allen-Bradley linear motors have the flexibility to maintain quicker movement while handling multiple motion profiles to increase machine capabilities.

With the ability to size and optimise Allen-Bradley linear motors and corresponding servo drives using Motion Analyser software from Rockwell Automation, machine builders can reduce product selection time and minimise cost. Full set-up and programming support through Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000 software further helps to reduce set-up time by making commissioning faster and easier.

The new LDC-Series and LDL-Series linear motors are a practical, cost-effective choice for a wide range of machine applications, including packaging, on-the-fly inspection, shape cutting, dispensing, material handling, flat and solar panel scribing, and pick-and-place machines.
