Stepper motors, gear trains and timing belts from old ScanJets can be found for pocket change any day of the week. For cheap and accurate linear motion, we couldn’t come up with a build that ...

Recently, Anorad supplied LC-50 motors, in 200 and 400 frame lengths, for two axes in a packaging machine that formerly relied on air cylinders. Since this application was a retrofit, the integrator ...

One type, linear shaft motors, consists of stationary, cylindrically wound coils and a smooth, nonferrous moving rod; inside the latter is a series of rare earth-iron-boron (NIB) permanent magnets ...

New synchronous linear motor technology from Siemens that eliminates the magnets on the secondary track is opening the door to a new class of cost-effective, longer travel distance applications. Ideal ...

We admit that this project doesn’t have very many details available, but it was just too neat for us to pass up. It’s a small linear motor which [ligonapProduktion] built after seeing a… ...

Linear motor versus ballscrew: The most common approach to convert rotary to linear motion is to use a lead or ballscrew. These are inexpensive but less efficient: Lead screws typically 50% or ...

The innovative ServoTube forcer coils optimize use of the magnetic field and feature a built-in heat sink that offers improved thermal efficiency over conventional U-channel linear motors. The ...

It's based around synchronous linear electric motors. In a regular cylindrical electric motor, a magnet-equipped rotor spins within a magnetic field-generating stator (that's the part with the ...

Linear Labs, a father-and-son business in Texas, say they have developed what could be the next generation of motor technology that could give electric cars, scooters, skateboards and anything ...

This video is an animation of the principle behind PI’s magnetic linear motors. The magnetic linear motors correspond to a sequence of a number of voice-coil actuators; individual coils can be ...
