Partnership agreement with Lin Engineering Inc. strengthens Mclennan motion control product range
Mclennan, the leading UK-based motion control specialist, has expanded and strengthened its product range following a new partnership agreement with the USA based motion control component manufacturer Lin Engineering Inc. - a subsidiary company of the MOONS’ group of high-performance motion control components manufacturers. 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 Inc. (AMP) and directly with MOONS’ own hybrid stepper motor production facilities 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.
With its own in-house system design and production capability, Mclennan works closely with its distribution partners and customers to bring motion control and automation solutions that, as part of the enabling technology of a machine or process, bring distinct benefits in performance whilst competitively maintaining high quality and reliability.
