Kollmorgen linear servo motors use direct-drive technology to generate linear motion without intermediate mechanical transmission elements. Unlike conventional systems based on ball screws, belts, gear racks, gearboxes or couplings, a direct-drive linear motor applies force directly to the moving load. This eliminates backlash, compliance and mechanical losses that can reduce positioning accuracy and dynamic performance.
The simplified drivetrain enables higher acceleration, faster settling and improved repeatability while reducing noise, lubrication requirements and wear. Since there are fewer mechanical components, the machine can be designed with a more compact motion architecture and a lower maintenance demand. Direct-drive linear servo technology is particularly advantageous in applications where rapid positioning, smooth motion and stable long-term accuracy are critical.
Kollmorgen DDL direct-drive linear motors can be paired with AKD or AKD2G servo drives to create a high-performance motion system with flexible communication options and optional functional safety capabilities. Typical applications include semiconductor manufacturing, packaging machinery, inspection systems, assembly automation, machine tools and precision handling equipment. As an official Kollmorgen partner, BIBUS Kft. supports system sizing, motor and drive selection, feedback configuration, mechanical integration and commissioning.
