Direct drive linear motors provide enhanced performance in electronic assembly applications when compared to traditional mechanical-based equivalents.
Platinum DDL (Direct Drive Linear) motors from Kollmorgen, a division of Danaher Motion, provide enhanced performance in electronic assembly applications when compared to traditional mechanical-based equivalents (e.g., ball/lead screws, rack and pinions) Their design eliminates all mechanical transmissions, resulting in a compact mechanical assembly with reduced parts; zero maintenance, backlash and compliance; high stiffness and positional accuracy; very smooth velocity; and quiet operation

Linear guides combine precision and longevity
Miniature linear guides that offer high accuracy and longevity in order to enhance production efficiency provide extremely smooth, 'whisper quiet', single rail operation.
Kollmorgen Platinum DDL motors are available with ironless (slotless) and ironcore construction.
The Ironless motors have no attractive force between the frameless components and are cog-free for ultra smooth motion.
They feature peak forces from 13 to 360 lbf (60N to 1600N).
The ironcore motors provide peak forces from 38 to 3,513 lbf (170N to 15,625N) - the highest force per frame size available when compared to similar motor designs.
Danaher Motion is the leading North American manufacturer of motion control products, components and services.
Their customers can be found in the aerospace, defense, packaging, medical, health and fitness, automation, electronic assembly, and semiconductor industries, among others.
