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 ...

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 ...

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’ve come a long way in the field of stepper motor drivers in just a few short years. The first popular driver for RepRap electronics was ‘ the Pololu’, a stepper motor carrier board using ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Delkor is among the very first packaging equipment suppliers to utilize such a system. In two years of field operation, the servo-driven track systems have proven effective and reliable. This may pose ...
