Iron-core linear motor
Yaskawa SGLT / SGLTW twin-magnet linear
Iron-core linear servomotor with magnets either side of the coil to cancel the attraction force, for high-force axes on modular magnet tracks.
Key specifications
Detailed figures vary by model. Ask an engineer for the variant you need.

Notes on this data
Yaskawa pages load ratings by script and returned none; force and speed left out rather than taken from resellers. Listed under Sigma-5 on yaskawa.com; current status not confirmed.

Typical applications
Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures
Engineers often come to us with a Yaskawa part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.
Compact iron-core linear motors with high force density for point-to-point moves with micron-level positioning.
View AJM →High-force iron-core linear motors in five widths with optional water cooling, reaching several kN continuous.
View AKM →Narrow, cost-effective iron-core linear motors with low cogging for long-stroke, space-constrained axes.
View AQM →Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
