In the field of industrial automation, one of the most widespread misconceptions is that axes with linear motors face significant limitations in terms of the load they can handle while maintaining their high performance. However, there are innovative methods to overcome these restrictions, allowing for the handling of heavier loads without sacrificing efficiency.

An effective solution to increase the load capacity of axes with linear motors is to use two parallel axes, each with its own carriage. By synchronizing the movement of both carriages, the load distribution can be optimized. For example, in a hypothetical case where a single axis with one carriage can standardly carry up to 3 kg, introducing a parallel axis with its respective carriage and proper synchronization between both can increase the capacity to handle a payload of 50 kg. This approach not only enhances the load capacity but also helps maintain the precision and speed of the system.

For applications that require even more capacity, the number of carriages in this setup can be doubled. By using two carriages on each of the two parallel axes and synchronizing all these components, a remarkable capacity can be achieved. In the same base scenario where one carriage supports 3 kg, this quadrupled configuration allows handling loads of up to 500 kg. This significant increase not only demonstrates the versatility of axes with linear motors but also opens the door to new possibilities in industrial sectors where handling heavy loads is crucial.

By adapting and synchronizing multiple axes and carriages, companies can significantly expand the applications of these systems, addressing more complex and demanding industrial challenges. High loads are not a limitation for axes with linear motors. If you have further questions beyond the answered queries, we are delighted to help you.
