SINAMICS S120
SINAMICS S120 offers high performance, productivity and flexibility. Its modular design lets you quickly configure drive systems that fit almost any application.
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.

Featured capabilities
High-precision linear motion
With direct drive technology, the motors avoid elasticity, backlash, friction and natural oscillations in the drivetrain — enabling exceptional contour accuracy and highly dynamic axis movement.
High force density in a compact design
The robust electromagnetic design delivers enormous continuous and peak forces while maintaining a compact footprint, suitable for fast acceleration and demanding machining processes.
Flexible configuration through a modular portfolio
A wide selection of motor widths, lengths and action types allows precise customization to machine concepts, ensuring optimal dynamics, force capability and thermal behavior.
