This manual is intended for system design engineers who want to integrate an LMS in their application. This manual guides the system designer through the design and selection process. Bosch Rexroth always intends to make life easier for the application engineer. However, the main focus is to provide maximum flexibility based on the type of applications that can be realized with a Linear Motion System.

③), you must make sure that the overlap is at least in total 3 windings. If the system designer choses to change the orientation of one of the coils by 180°, it is important to be aware of the following issues. Bosch Rexroth AG R911386072_Edition 07...
By optimizing the air gap, the position resolution is optimized. For applications in which the position resolution is not critical, the recommended air gap is 8 to 10 mm (thus fine tuning the air gap would only consume time). R911386072_Edition 07 Bosch Rexroth AG...
