Carrier module in the Lexium MC12 multi-carrier track
The LXMMC12MS06S100 is the 300 mm straight longstator carrier that runs on a Lexium MC12 multi-carrier track — a linear-motor segment that carries product through a moving assembly, rather than a rotary servo driving a belt. The 300.4 mm body length sits on the 162.6 mm × 136 mm footprint so the carrier nests into the standard track slot without custom brackets. IP65 on the carrier body means the moving element tolerates dust and low-pressure water jets — splash zones, panel-side coolant mist, and washdown-adjacent conveyor cells are the realistic envelope, not full immersion.
Force, accuracy, and how fast it can move
Positioning accuracy is 0.03 mm repetitive, 0.25 mm absolute across the full travel envelope, and the carrier can move at 4 m/s with 120 m/s² acceleration — that headroom is what lets a multi-carrier line keep several movers on one track without one catching up to another. Up to 6 carriers fit per segment, with a minimum spacing of 0 m between them — that zero gap is the architectural point of the multi-carrier topology: products ride nose-to-tail, and the line throughput becomes a function of cycle time per carrier rather than line length.
Scaling one controller across the track
One MC12 controller drives a maximum track length of 40 m with up to 200 carriers across the whole line, while staying capped at 6 per segment — a long assembly cell is built from segments in series, not from stacking carriers on one segment.
Lifecycle and BOM-fit posture
Lifecycle stage reads current on this exact MPN — no phase-out, last-time-buy, or successor code is on file from the manufacturer, so existing Lexium MC12 cells keep sourcing this carrier as a running spare. The category slot is Servo Drives, brand Schneider Electric, with one unit per package — meaning the procurement line is one carrier per order code, and any spare-parts kit needs to be sized by carrier count, not by carrier-plus-cable bundles.
