What began in 1997 with a single linear motor has grown into an impressive success story. Over the years, new technologies, variations, and ideas have continuously been added: robust stainless steel motors for hygienic environments, versatile linear-rotary motors, and compact grippers. Today, we offer complete multi-axis systems that allow highly dynamic and complex processes to be automated with ease. Looking back, this evolution feels like an exciting journey: step by step – or rather, stroke by stroke – fueled by a passion for motion, close collaboration with our customers, and a constant drive to explore new paths in automation. On this page, we highlight the most important milestones – a timeline through three decades of innovation.
…bringing linear direct drives into series production. The first motor of the still very popular P01 series marks the starting point and injects fresh momentum into drive technology. A little more than 1.44 MB of innovation that redefined motion.
In 2003, LinMot launches the first H01 and B01 linear modules. Fully integrated mechanically, resistant to forces as well as torsion and bending moments, and ready for the tough industrial daily grind across all sectors. The path is clear for precise linear motion right inside machine design.
LinMot’s first stainless steel motors conquer hygiene zones where water, chemicals, cleaning agents, and strict regulations are part of everyday life. At the same time, ATEX motors make their debut – built for zones where even a single spark would be too much. Precision that shines and protects reliably.
LinMot introduces the PR01 linear-rotary motor: a mechatronic innovation that combines linear and rotary motion in a single compact unit. Precise positioning, controlled rotation, and maximum flexibility – all housed in one design. Perfect for applications that demand more than just one axis.
More compact, more efficient, and packed with even more features, the new linear-rotary motor PR02 excites designers worldwide. Ideal for lifting, rotating, screwing, assembling, positioning, and much more – a highly successful all-round package for automation.
The missing puzzle piece for semi-gantry and gantry systems. Multiple axes can now be combined precisely, heavy loads moved dynamically, and complex customer and industry requirements realized. In short: more degrees of freedom for design, more possibilities for automation.
In 2020, LinMot launches the DM01 linear modules. Precise, powerful, and later even certified as cleanroomcompatible by the Fraunhofer Institute. For applications where cleanliness is paramount, they deliver linear precision without particles – true to LinMot’s motto: uncompromisingly reliable.
The GM01 stainless steel gripper for hygienic and washdown applications, as well as the GM50 and GM51 parallel grippers – the latter featuring an integrated rotary motor. These new directions of motion open exciting opportunities for precise, flexible, and reliable gripping across industries worldwide.
Ultra-flat, modular systems that fit into machines like puzzle pieces. Their compact design saves space, creates flexibility, and unlocks entirely new degrees of freedom for developers who want to make automation smarter, more efficient, and more dynamic.
The new software platform that gives engineers full control, transparency, and simplicity. From first configuration to ongoing optimization, Pilot supports, simplifies, and accelerates every step. Automation becomes more intuitive, smarter, and more limitless than ever before.
