Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

Nippon Pulse linear shaft motors are available from Micromech in the UK. The underlying motor technology is a shaft of rare earth-iron-boron magnets inside a stainless steel tube, and a ‘forcer’ of ...

New developments in linear motor design are boosting positioning accuracy and enabling the technology to replace pneumatics and rotary motors in some high-precision manufacturing applications, ...

Smaller products are fueling the need for smaller motors, and the need for more torque that fits into thinner, smaller and lighter product designs. Manufacturers of miniature motors are in the ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...
