Why SIMOTICS L?

SIMOTICS L are the first choice when maximum dynamics and precision are required. Their compact, high‑force linear drive performance with wear‑free power transmission enables exceptional dynamics, contour accuracy and precision — perfectly matched with SINAMICS S120/S220 for high‑performance machine tools and production systems.

Low-maintenance, wear-free operation

The linear direct drive principle eliminates mechanical wear components, resulting in practically wear-free and low-maintenance motor operation.

Maximum performance across diverse applications

With water-cooled peak load and continuous load versions as well as naturally cooled variants, SIMOTICS L covers everything from high-dynamic machining to grinding, oscillating axes and Z axes without counterbalance.

Rugged operation thanks to large air gap

A comparatively large air gap ensures stable, resilient performance even under external influences such as contamination or misalignment, making the motors suitable for challenging industrial environments.
