Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

Latest version contains detailed overview of drive technologies. Aldermaston - UK, February 2011: Aerotech has released an updated edition of its popular Linear Motors Application Guide including a ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Abstract: This paper is aim to develop and investigate a permanent magnet linear-motor-driven table system for a wire-EDM machine. Dynamic model and system identification of the linear motor system ...

All in a very small footprint, this integrated packaging system forms, loads, and closes cartons thanks to its “racetrack” conveyor powered by servo linear motors. A servo linear conveying system ...

What is a Linear Motor? A linear motor should be thought of as rotary electric motor that has been cut along a radial plane and unrolled. The resultant motor is a direct drive linear electric motor ...

PI's new P-653 OEM piezo motor / linear actuator is smaller & faster than mini motors. This patented, 8mm long true linear motor system (no rotation conversion) consists of only 4 parts and can ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...
