Mycronic TEX Tray Unit Tex Lift Motor-Encoder-Brake L-029-0395
This is a TEX (Tray Exchange) lift motor assembly with integrated encoder and brake used in MyData/Mycronic MY-series pick-and-place machines, providing the complete motorized lift drive system for the TEX tray exchanger's vertical tray lifting and positioning mechanism.
Key characteristics:
- Application: MyData/Mycronic MY-series pick-and-place machines equipped with the TEX tray exchanger system
- Function: Provides the complete vertical lift drive assembly for the TEX unit, combining three interdependent motion components into a single serviceable assembly:
- Lift Motor — drives the TEX unit's vertical lift mechanism, raising and lowering tray stacks or individual trays to present components at the correct pickup height for the placement head
- Encoder — provides real-time position feedback of the lift axis to the TEX control system for precise, closed-loop vertical positioning of trays at accurate and repeatable pickup heights
- Brake — holds the lift mechanism securely in position when the motor is not actively driving, preventing uncontrolled tray movement due to gravity or vibration and ensuring tray stability during component pickup
- Manufacturer: MyData/Mycronic (L-prefix indicates a Mycronic assembly-level part number)
- Part number: L-029-0395
- Type: TEX lift motor with encoder and brake assembly
- Category: Machine motion / tray feeder drive component
- Criticality: High — failure of any element of this assembly results in loss of TEX vertical lift control, preventing accurate tray height positioning and causing TEX system downtime
Assembly Component Roles:
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Lift Motor | Drives vertical tray lifting and lowering |
| Encoder | Closed-loop position feedback for precise lift height |
| Brake | Holds tray position when motor is inactive |
Signs of Lift Motor Assembly Degradation:
- TEX lift positioning errors or height faults
- Tray height inconsistency during component pickup
- Encoder feedback errors in machine software
- Brake hold failure causing tray drift when stationary
- Abnormal motor noise during TEX lift operations

- Pick & Place machines
- Screen printers
- Reflow ovens
- AOI and SPI systems
- X-ray inspection equipment
- Inline and batch washers
- Flying probes
- Conveyors and automation
All equipment we sell is guaranteed to be 100% complete and operational, ensuring it can be installed and run on a customer’s production floor. If any components are missing or require replacement, we address those issues before shipment or as part of the sale.
What is Feeder Frenzy?
Through our sister company, Feeder Frenzy, we specialize in pre-owned SMT feeders, magazines, and spare parts. Customers can purchase these items directly through our online e-commerce platform, making it easy to find and order critical production components.
We support major SMT platforms including Mycronic, Universal Instruments, ASM/Siemens, FUJI, Panasonic and JUKI. All feeders and parts are authentic OEM-manufactured products and are backed by a 60-day warranty.
Professional Feeder Repair Services
Lewis & Clark provides professional SMT feeder repair and refurbishment services. Customers regularly send us anywhere from 5 to over 100 feeders at a time.
Our repair process includes:
- Individual feeder inspection
- Detailed repair estimates (labor + parts)
- OEM-quality repairs and testing
- Fast turnaround and clear communication
Every repaired feeder is returned fully tested and backed by a 60-day warranty.
Asset Purchasing & Equipment Sourcing
A major part of our business is buying SMT equipment, feeders, magazines, and parts from customers looking to sell surplus or idle assets.
We work directly with:
- Contract manufacturers
- OEMs
- End-users upgrading or consolidating production lines
- Facilities undergoing closures or relocations
Whether it’s a single machine, a feeder lot, or an entire SMT line, we provide fair market evaluations and streamlined transactions.
