Mclennan strengthens motion control product range with Lin Engineering partnership

Lin Engineering manufactures a wide range that includes rotary stepper motors, linear actuators, brushless DC motors, micro-DC motors, and frameless torque motors as well as paired gear units and AGV/AMR drive wheels and custom motion systems.

Mclennan has a long and successful history with the MOONS' group through its distribution partnership with Applied Motion Products (AMP) that collectively provide stepper and servo motors, drives and motion controllers that are offered with full support as individual components to machine builders and OEMs or as integral components for Mclennan's motion system design and integration capability.

Lin Engineering operates from its California-based manufacturing, engineering and support facility. Through its own in-house design, assembly and production capabilities and the ability to competitively source a wealth of motion control and other components from MOONS' global engineering subsidiaries, the ISO9001, AS9100D and TS16949 certified manufacturer offers specialist services that include a two-week prototype turnaround and motor design optimisation for OEMs.

Of particular interest for Mclennan, Lin Engineering's 'Zero-Tech' specialist approach encompasses several advanced motion control technologies designed to overcome common engineering challenges in DC motors. Applied individually or combined to deliver superior performance and reliability, these include minimizing excessive detent torque for smoother operation, eliminating backlash for precise position control, reducing cogging for uniform motion, compacting motor length to fit into smaller spaces, and enhancing durability against harsh environmental conditions.
