Smartwin Linear Motor Modules: Redefining Precision and Efficiency in Industrial Motion Control

In the field of core components for intelligent manufacturing equipment, the LMS Series linear motor modules developed by Smartwin Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. have become a benchmark for high-precision, long-stroke motion control. Powered by a full closed-loop control system and a highly modular design, the LMS series features a semi-closed structure that effortlessly achieves speeds up to 5 m/s and ±1 μm repeatability. These characteristics make it exceptionally well-suited for demanding applications across 3C electronics, semiconductors, LCD panel manufacturing, lithium battery production, photovoltaics, and more.

Compact Yet Powerful: LMS99 Linear Motor Module

Take the LMS99 module as an example. Featuring a 100 mm ultra-narrow and compact base, the module supports base lengths of up to 3040 mm. Designed for high-speed, high-precision industrial environments, the LMS99 module is compatible with both incremental and absolute encoders, and includes an external centralized lubrication system for easier maintenance.

This series is purpose-built for 3C electronics applications where high speed, tight precision, and limited installation space are critical—such as camera module / fingerprint module auxiliary material attachment, SMT placement, PCB dispensing/bonding, and more. It effectively solves the pain points of traditional modules, including bulky size, insufficient precision, and limited speed.

1. Structural Highlights

• Dual-forcer linear motor design

Two movers operate alternately on the same module, reducing the lateral footprint significantly.
Supports multi-forcer configurations, each mover capable of independent motion.

• 100 mm narrow-base design

With a base width of only 100 mm, the module fits perfectly into compact camera module production lines (such as smartphone camera assembly lines with widths typically under 1.5 meters).

• High-rigidity mechanical design

Equipped with THK high-rigidity, low-friction linear guides and a steel belt cover to enhance overall stability, ensuring low vibration and excellent stiffness during high-speed motion.

2. Performance Benefits: High Speed, High Precision, High Stability

• High speed

Paired with Smartwin's CFS Series motors (peak current = 3× continuous current), the system achieves:

• Acceleration up to 5G (≈ 50 m/s²)

• Over 2× the productivity of conventional modules (typically 1G acceleration)

• High precision

Using Smartwin's self-developed high-resolution encoders, the module achieves:

• ±1 μm repeatability (±3 μm after compensation)
  Compared with traditional modules with 5 μm repeatability, precision improves by over 60%, enabling 99.8%+ attachment yield.

• High stability

The system maintains stable performance even under:

• Varying loads

• Rapid speed changes

• Dynamic operating conditions

It ensures consistent thrust output during high-load, high-acceleration movements, improving equipment stability and operational safety.

3. Cost Advantages: Modular Architecture & Shorter Production Cycles

• Modular design reduces lead time

The LMS100 series uses fully standardized modular components (motor, guide, encoder), allowing Smartwin to assemble modules directly from standardized parts without customization.
This shortens production cycles from 6 weeks to just 2 weeks, meeting customer demands for large-volume, rapid delivery.

• Low maintenance cost

Modular architecture simplifies troubleshooting.
Common parts remain in regular stock, ensuring fast replacement.
Smartwin operates sales and service centers across Central China, South China, East China, and North China, providing timely after-sales support.
