DLM electric linear drive consists of a rectangular aluminium profile with 2 integrated roller guides. The linear motor DLM unit is based on the principle of a linear, synchronous AC motor. The guiding profile is fitted with permanent magnets as stator (secondary part). The carriage is fitted with the actuator (primary part). The magnetic attraction causes a force between carriage and guiding profile also in the absence of current. This force can be used for the initial tension of the bearings. Several carriages (primary parts) can be driven independently on one guiding profile.
